I working on a work I’ve entitled James Geddy: From Williamsburg to 
Petersburg

Here’s the reference
Alexander Craig Account Book, 1761-1763 [Day Book]

1 July 1761

Mr. Wm Geddy's Apprentice To a pr of Wos Shoes pd 12.

Some think it maybe women's shoes???  But I would assume that Geddy’s 
apprentice would have been a male?

I checked with a cordwainer friend who researches all things footwear. He 
has never heard the term and asked for context. Presuming this is written, a 
pic offlist would help.
