There are publications concerning persons in North Carolina in such occupations as lawyers, furniture makers, silversmiths, gunsmiths, postmasters, clock and watchmakers, and physicians. For example, there are books of collected biographies of gunsmiths, postmasters, and silversmiths in North Carolina. An example of a book concerning persons who worked at a particular occupation is:
- Cutten, George Barton.Silversmiths of North Carolina, 1696–1860. 2nd ed. Raleigh, NC: Dept. of Cultural Resources. Division of Archives and History, 1984. (FamilySearch Center book 975.6 U2c.)
Apprenticeship Bonds, ca. 1840–1925[edit | edit source]
When children were orphaned, needed employment, or wanted to learn a trade, they often were apprenticed under a contract or indenture called an apprentice bond. These bonds list the name of the young man or woman, the county of residence, their age, the occupation the person was to learn, sometimes the name of a parent, and the name of the master. Apprenticeship bond records of some counties are at the North Carolina State Archives, and microfilms are at the FamilySearch Library. Some apprenticeships are listed in the Freedmen’s Bureau records. For information on these, see North Carolina African Americans.
Some occupational records are found in North Carolina Public Records.
