There were 2 or 3 younger children who were not mentioned in the bound out 
records so I am not sure what happened in their case, one was a girl. One 
keeps forgetting that it was basically an agrarian society at that time.

One thing that was of interest in my ancestor's case, his guardian refused to 
release him when he wanted to serve in the Revolutionary War because he 
was not yet 21. My ancestor joined anyway but  complained bitterly in his 
pension papers that his guardian refused to give him the $50 he owed him for 
being bound to him.

I don't know what that was all about.
