I have found a record for my ancestor, Samuel Sharp, who was bound out 
11/1768 in Frederick Co, VA. The church warden was order to bind him to John 
Painter. I am wondering if children were, as a general rule, bound out to 
relatives when possible or if they were sent to a family that could best afford 
to keep them.
