In researching the Conaways, I came across this order made in 1817 by the Orphans' Court in Baltimore, Maryland. I don't believe this child is in our direct line, although more research may show something different.
Joshua Conoway, an orphan boy of the age of ten years the first January last is bound to the Patapsico Manufacturing Company to be taught Cotton spinning, weaving, and carding, to be taught to read, write, and arithmetic as far as the rule of Three and to be found in sufficient meat drink washing lodging and apparel and when free customary freedom dues.
