Wow, what I find very interesting is that 7 Guinea watch, assuming that "7 Guinea" means the Great Britain gold coin, and if it does, 7 Guineas was a lot of money, a gold Guinea was worth 21 shillings, proclaimed by King George I in 1717, so now that watch cost Daniel Davis an equivalent of 147 shillings or 7.35 GBP and to make this more fun, I'm going to give an estimate of what that would cost in todays prices give or take, so a shilling in the late 18th century would have had a purchasing power of roughly 50 - 60 GBP so multiply that by 147 that will be a total cost of 7,350 GBP to 8,820 GBP or $9,172 - $11,007 usds today for that 7 Guinea watch.

I'm just wondering, why my grandmother (10 generations back), was left out of this story? Her name was Gertrude (Gertro/Yeshro) Hendrickson, and she was also charged with being a witch, along with Mattson.
@ConococheagueInstituteАй бұрын
That is a very great connection you have, and we sincerely apologize for missing this part of the story. During research this name came up only in passing mention. Would you be willing to share any information you have about Gertrude with us so that we can have a more complete story? You can comment here or email [email protected]

@dexterstjaques5452 , Margareta wife of Johan Nils Matton Sr. Is my 10 great grandmother, I can only guess that since my grandmother's trial was the last your ancestors trial was probably dropped and she went on with her life. Again just a guess, maybe she moved? If you can check local records and see what is there.

@SuperRodriguez2005 Thanks, for responding... From my research, using multiple sources, they were both charged with the same crime and received the same punishment.

Are any of the colors more or less expensive than the others? Are there some colors which would mostly be worn by the wealthy?

Interesting. Women worked super hard in those days. Yet we have many less responsibilities for managing a household, but marriage and children are not happening. Is it the extended learning/career required to live? I mean, these days, you need a good education to enter the workforce to have income for food. But this means. 1. Not being at home. 2. Working in an office/factory. 3. Require time for learning. It's not clear yet then why fertility has dropped so dramatically. Given that Amish fertility is not dropping, could it be a cultural and/or community thing?

Thank you for this video - a few of us made cider in the very same way - - and it was excellent! It's awesome to see other living historians who are not afraid to actually work in period work clothes, unafraid of getting them dirty.
Great job, Amelia! I learned a lot. I had never heard of logwood before, but the color is very pretty.

I’m an ICU nurse and have worked in a variety of of icus over the years, thirty years. Two years ago picked up a copy of ‘every man his own physician’ from 1756. While so much was outdated and some dangerous, there was a lot of advice in the book that after almost three centuries is still viable

I like cider. I will never understand how anyone can refer to any kind of apple as "sweet". I've tried all different kinds and not one of them has ever been "Sweet".
@stephanos61282 жыл бұрын
i don't think sugary sweet is what they think of when they say sweet, but macintosh and pink ladies imo are pretty sweet.

If you eat the Standard American Diet (aka SAD), you will never experience the sweetness of natural fruit. Sugar dulls our ability to taste real food. It's so detrimental to our whole being.

Apples are sweet and sharp. sharp-sweet, sqweet-sharp, etc. You haven't tried many kinds of apples if you haven't found any sweet ones.

I do not see any labor saving today; most people get finished with one job and have to move on to another without ever getting far ahead of the bills.
