Description: Petition of a single mother (Violet Jones) apprenticing her 12yo old daughter Corine Smith to a Mrs Southworth. Corine is legally referred to as an orphan because Violet is without the means to support her, heartbreakingly signed by both mother & daughter. Leflore County is historically an overwhelmingly African American population with roots deep in the cotton trade. The women's social class however makes it very difficult to confirm their ethnicity w/ records that almost certainly marginalized them. 8 x 13" w/ original folds.
