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?
