Three apprenticeship indentures exist that involve this William Ruck. First is an indenture for William Ruck son of Simon Ruck of Chilham, yeoman, to apprentice for Samuel Steemson of the Mason's Company dated 15 October 1729. Second is an indenture in favour of William Ruck of the Mason's Company dated 12 Jan 1749 to take on an apprentice named William Thomas the son of William Thomas of Chilham, a cooper. The third is another indenture in favour of William Ruck of the Mason's Company dated 7 June 1751 to take on an additional apprentice, John Kennngton son of John of Oxford, Oxfordshire, Gent. Unfortunately, none of the indenture extracts specify where William Ruck apprenticed or where he was living during 1749 and 1751. These extracts were taken from the English Origins site.
