Privilege children had either a in-resident tutor (many indentured) or were if males sent to England for their Education. Gradually tutors advertised in the Virginia Gazette that they were available and taking new students. If studying medicine the males were sent to Edinburgh Scotland. After the college of William & Mary was created males were sent there for education at what we would consider a very young age for a college student. Public education in Virginia was still a rarity in Virginia as late as the late 1800s and a study of county by county would be required to find when public education became the norm in Virginia.
