re: Apprenticeship possibly?
It was a common practice in late medieval/early Renaissance England.
Perhaps it was an informal apprenticeship for the Getty-Newsom families.

Both Newsom name and Getty name are Scots/Irish. So, they would fit there
Thanks, with that info now I can drop this. Interesting though, isn’t it.

It is interesting. I wouldn’t find it so unusual if a family in the city sent the son or daughter to stay with family in the country for the summer and vice versa.
I imagine because the Gettys were/are rich beyond measure it would be a learning experience for a kid from anywhere to live with them...are for a Getty to live with anyone else.
