Place: Sussex Co. VA

Note: Two years after his father's death John went to Sussex County, VA and voluntarily put himself into apprenticeship for a term of 2 years and 10 months to his cousin John Presson, a cabinetmaker. The appentice papers, dated 20 April 1759, state "that John Presson the Son of Robert Presson Hath put himself and by these Presents Doth Voluntarily and of his free will and ...himself apprentice to John Presson Jun. of Sussex..."

[The papers do not say Robert Presson "decd", which makes me wonder if Robert Presson died in 1757 as stated or if it is a different Robert Presson.]^[5]

The land is described as the "land being purchased by Robert Presson decd. father to the said Joh Presson." He signs as John Jr, meaning he was younger than the John Presson who was buying the land.
