A seperate entry in the accounts the same year reads "for Attening to Tavistock to bind apprintice 0 1 6". Pauper apprenticeships were agreed before a J.P. Usually the child was bound to the master until they were 21, and the master agreed to teach them a trade and to provide clothing, board and lodging etc. Most commonly boys were apprenticed to learn farm work, and became ag labs, girls to learn housework. Presumably Thomas Whitbourn was a tailor, as later records shows Richard to have been one. A skilled trade, this would seem to have been preferable to being an ag lab, at least in Richard's time.

Family 2 Alice NUTE, b. Abt 1758, Milton Abbot, Devon, England , d. 18 Oct 1838, Buckland Monachorum, Devon, England (Age ~ 80 years) Banns of marriage 1 Oct 1780 to 15 Oct 1780 St. Constantine’s Church, Milton Abbot, Devon, England - Shows Richard Pike Jetsam as sojourner of Milton Abbot parish, in contrast to the marriage part of the register entry which shows him as of Buckland Monachorum. He may have stayed in the parish so the banns only needed to be called there and not in both churches - a way of saving money.
Married 5 Nov 1780 St. Constantine’s Church, Milton Abbot, Devon, England - From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 30 Aug 2012):
Richard Pike Jetsham, of Buckland Monachorum, made his mark; Alice Nute, otp, made her mark; witnesses John Gill and Benjamin Martin (both signed)
