Richard Frethorne : ウィキペディア英語版 | Richard Frethorne Richard Frethorne was an indentured servant at Martin's Hundred, Virginia in 1622-1623. He is known as the author of letters detailing his miserable condition in Virginia. ==Life== Frethorne was from the parish of St. Dunstan-in-the-East in London, where his family received poor relief. In 1622 he was indentured by the parish and sent to Virginia as a servant, arriving in December on the ship ''Abigail.''〔 Dahlberg, Sandra L. 2012 “Doe Not Forget Me”: Richard Frethorne, Indentured Servitude, and the English Poor Law of 1601. In ''Early American Literature'' 47(1)1-30. pp.2-5〕 Textual analysis of his letters suggests he may have been around twelve years old at the time.〔 Dahlberg, Sandra L. 2012 “Doe Not Forget Me”: Richard Frethorne, Indentured Servitude, and the English Poor Law of 1601. In ''Early American Literature'' 47(1)1-30. p. 16〕 Frethorne became one of the indentured servants of William Harwood, the “governor” or leader of Martin’s Hundred.〔 Noel Hume, Ivor 1979 First Look at a Lost Virginia Settlement. In ''National Geographic'' 155(6)735-767. P.736〕 In March and April following his arrival, he wrote several letters to his family and associates back in England, listing the miseries of his life in Virginia and begging them to pay off his indenture or, failing that, to send some food which he could then sell. Richard Frethorne died sometime before February 16, 1624 (1623 Old Style), when his name (in this case spelled “Frethram”) appears on a list of the dead at Martin’s Hundred.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://files.usgwarchives.net/va/jamestown/census/1623cens.txt )〕
