""Rambles in Colonial By-Ways, " by Rufus Rockwell Wilson, Vol. 11. Pp. 101-2. 28 Many servants were of better origin and education than the generality of freemen, and were frequently employed in such responsible positions as teachers. Many ministers were imported on conditions almost parallel with those of indented servants. Col. William Preston, of Smithville, Va. , bought at Williamsburg, about 1776, a gentleman named Palfrenan as a teacher for his family. He was a poet and scholar, a corres...pondent and a friend of the cele- brated authoress, Elizabeth Carter, and also of Dr. Samuel Johnson. This man educated many of the Prestons and Breckenridges in Virginia. The distinguished William C. Preston, of South Carolina, was one of his pupils. * Another redemptioner of high degree was a lawyer and political offender named Henry Justice, who was deported to Virginia in 1736 for stealing out of the library of Trinity College, Cambridge, a bible and prayer book, valued at 25 pounds; a book on horsemanship, valued at 10 pounds, besides several other books and tracts.
