Then as now life had its contrasts +and utmost poverty existed but shortly removed from +comparative wealth. In 1657 an apprentice to a stone-mason +in the town of Newbury, Massachusetts, testified that it +was a long while before “he could eate his master’s food, +viz. meate and milk, or drink beer, saying that he did not +know that it was good, because he was not used to eat such +victualls, but to eate bread and water porridge and to drink +water.”<a id="FNanchor_1" href="#Footnote_1" class="fnanchor">[1]</a> A few miles away, in the town of Ipswich, lived +Madam Rebecka Symonds, writing in her sixtieth year to +her son in London to send her a fashionable “lawn whiske,” +for her neckwear. In due time he replied that the “fashionable +Lawn whiske is not now worn, either by Gentil or +simple, young or old. Instead where of I have bought a +shape and ruffles, which is now the ware of the gravest as +well as the young ones. Such as goe not with naked necks +ware a black wifle over it. Therefore, I have not only +Bought a plaine one y’t you sent for, but also a Luster one, +such as are most in fashion.” The dutiful son also purchased +for his mother’s wear a feather fan; but he writes, +to her “I should also have found in my heart, to have let it +alone, because none but very grave persons (and of them +very few) use it. Now ’tis grown almost as obsolete as Russets, +and more rare to be seen than a yellow Hood.” When<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_2"></a>[Pg 2]</span> the +feather fan reached Ipswich it was found to have a +silver handle and with it came “two tortois fans, 200 needles, +5 yds. sky calico, silver gimp, a black sarindin cloak, +damson leather skin, two women’s Ivorie Knives, etc.”<a id="FNanchor_2" href="#Footnote_2" class="fnanchor">[2]</a></p> + +<p>Fine clothing surrounded itself with fine furnishings, +according to the standards of the period, and as the wealth +of the Colonies increased with the successful exportation of +fish, lumber, beaver, and peltry, it supplied them with all +kinds of luxuries and refinements to be found in the shops +of London, Plymouth, or Bristol. The ships were crossing +frequently and the Colonies kept pace with the mother +country much as the country follows the city at the present +time. All the while, however, primitive living and also +poverty existed everywhere. The inventories of numerous +estates show meagre household furnishings, and many +families of eight or more persons lived in houses only +eighteen by twenty-four feet in size, possibly with a shed +attached. Alexander Knight, a pauper in a Massachusetts +town, was provided in 1659 with a one-story house +sixteen feet long and twelve feet wide having a thatched +roof and costing only £6 to build, which no doubt was +typical of the simple dwellings occupied by the poorer +colonists in the early days following the settlement.</p> + +<p>When Governor Winthrop arrived at Charlestown in +1630 with the first great emigration he found a house or +two and several wigwams—rude shelters patterned after +the huts built by the Indians—and until houses could be +erected in Boston many lived in tents and wigwams, “their +meeting-place being abroad under a Tree.” Deacon Bartholomew +Green, the printer of the <cite>Boston News-Letter</cite>, +related that when his father arrived at Boston in 1630, +“for lack of housing he was vain to find shelter at night +in an empty cask,” and during the following winter many +of the poorer sort still continued to live in tents through +lack of better housing.</p> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp59" id="i002" style="max-width: 60.6875em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/i002.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption class="caption"><p>PARSON CAPEN HOUSE, TOPSFIELD</p> + +<p>Front Door</p></figcaption> +</figure> +<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_3"></a>[Pg 3]</span></p> +<p>There is a wide-spread misconception that the colonists +on reaching New England proceeded immediately to build +log houses in which to live. Historians have described +these log houses as chinked with moss and clay and as +having earth floors, precisely the type of house built on the +frontier and in the logging camps at a much later period. +A well-known picture of Leyden street, at Plymouth, shows +a double row of log houses reaching up the hillside, which +the Pilgrims are supposed to have constructed. In point +of fact, no contemporary evidence has been found that +supports the present-day theory. The early accounts of +what took place in the days following the settlements along +the coast are full of interesting details relating to day-by-day +happenings but nowhere do we find allusion to a log house +such as modern historians assume existed at that time.<a id="FNanchor_3" href="#Footnote_3" class="fnanchor">[3]</a></p> + +<p>What happened at the Plymouth Colony after the <cite>Mayflower</cite> +came to anchor? The wind blew very hard for two +days and the next day, Saturday, December 23, 1620, as +many as could went ashore: “felled and carried timber, to +provide themselves stuff for building,” and the following +Monday “we went on shore, some to fell timber, some to +saw, some to rive, and some to carry; so no man rested all +that day.”<a id="FNanchor_4" href="#Footnote_4" class="fnanchor">[4]</a> Bradford writes “that they builte a forte with +good timber” which Isaac de Rasieres described in 1627 as +“a large square house, made of thick sawn planks, stayed +with oak beams.” The oldest existing houses in the Plymouth +Colony are built in the same manner and some half +dozen or more seventeenth-century plank houses may yet +be seen north of Boston. Moreover, when the ship <cite>Fortune</cite> +sailed from Plymouth in the summer of 1621 part of her +lading consisted of “clapboards and wainscott,” showing +clearly that the colonists soon after landing had dug saw +pits and produced boards in quantity suitable for the construction +of houses and for exportation.</p> +<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_4"></a>[Pg 4]</span></p> +<p>In the summer of 1623 Bradford mentions the “building +of great houses in pleasant situations” and when a fire broke +out in November of the following year it began in “a shed +yt was joyned to ye end of ye storehouse, which was wattled +up with bowes.” It will be seen that this shed was not +crudely built of logs or slabs but that its walls were wattled +and perhaps also daubed with clay, in precisely the same +manner with which these colonists were familiar in their +former homes across the sea. An original outer wall in +the old Fairbanks house at Dedham, Massachusetts, still +has its “wattle and daub” constructed in 1637. What can +be more natural and humanly probable than to find English +housewrights who had learned their trade overseas, building +houses and outbuildings on this side of the Atlantic in +the same manner they had been taught through a long +apprenticeship in their former homes? Can we of today +assume that they, upon the spur of the moment, invented +a new type of building—a log house—a construction they +had never seen in England—a building also unknown to +the Indians?</p> + +<p>The houses of the Indians were “verie little and homely, +being made with small Poles pricked into the ground, and +so bended and fastened at the tops, and on the side they +are matted with Boughes and covered with Sedge and old +mats.”<a id="FNanchor_5" href="#Footnote_5" class="fnanchor">[5]</a> These were called “wigwams” and as they were +easily constructed and the materials were readily at hand +many of the poorer colonists built for themselves imitations +of these rude huts of the Indians. Governor Winthrop +records in his “Journal,” in September, 1630, that one Fitch +of Watertown had his wigwam burnt down with all his +goods, and two months later John Firman, also of Watertown, +lost his wigwam by fire.</p> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp61" id="i004" style="max-width: 57.5em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/i004.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption class="caption"><p>PARSON CAPEN HOUSE, TOPSFIELD</p> + +<p>Front entry and stairs</p></figcaption> +</figure> + +<p>Thomas Dudley writing to the Countess of Lincoln, in +March, 1631, relates: “Wee have ordered that noe man +shall build his chimney with wood nor cover his house +with thatch, which was readily assented unto, for that<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_5"></a>[Pg 5]</span> +divers houses have been burned since our arrival (the fire +always beginning in the wooden chimneys) and some English +wigwams which have taken fire in the roofes with +thatch or boughs.”<a id="FNanchor_6" href="#Footnote_6" class="fnanchor">[6]</a> It was Dudley who was taken to task +by the Governor in May, 1632, “for bestowing so much cost +on wainscotting his house and otherwise adorning it,” as +it was not a good example for others in the beginning of a +plantation. Dudley replied that he had done it for warmth +and that it was but clapboards nailed to the walls. A few +months later this house caught fire “the hearth of the Hall +chimney burning all night upon the principal beam.”</p> + +<p>The frequent references to the English wigwam seem to +indicate that some such temporary construction was usual +among many of the colonists at the outset. Settlers were +living at Salem as early as 1626 and Endecott, with a considerable +immigration, arrived in 1628. Marblehead, just +across the harbor, was settled early and yet when John +Goyt came there in 1637, he “first built a wigwam and lived +thar till he got a house.”<a id="FNanchor_7" href="#Footnote_7" class="fnanchor">[7]</a> The rude buildings also put up +by the planters at Salem must have been looked upon at +the time as temporary structures for they had all disappeared +before 1661.<a id="FNanchor_8" href="#Footnote_8" class="fnanchor">[8]</a> The town clerk of Woburn, Massachusetts, +writing in 1652, mentions the rude shelters of the +first settlers “which kept off the short showers from their +lodgings, but the long rains penetrated through, to their +grate disturbance in the night season: yet, in these poor +wigwams, they sing Psalms, pray and praise their God, till +they can provide them homes, which ordinarily was not +wont to be with many till the Earth, by the Lord’s blessing, +brought forth bread to feed them, their wives and little +ones.”<a id="FNanchor_9" href="#Footnote_9" class="fnanchor">[9]</a></p> + +<p>“Before you come,” wrote Rev. Francis Higginson, the +first minister at Salem, “be careful to be strongly instructed<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_6"></a>[Pg 6]</span> +what things are fittest to bring with you for your more +comfortable passage at sea, as also for your husbandry occasions +when you come to the land. For when you are +once parted with England you shall meete neither markets +nor fayres to buy what you want. Therefore be sure to +furnish yourselves with things fitting to be had before you +come: as meale for bread, malt for drinke, woolen and +linnen cloath, and leather for shoes, and all manner of carpenters +tools, and a great deale of iron and steele to make +nails, and locks for houses, and furniture for ploughs and +carts, and glasse for windows, and many other things which +were better for you to think of there than to want them +here.”<a id="FNanchor_10" href="#Footnote_10" class="fnanchor">[10]</a> Elsewhere the good pastor set down “A catalogue +of such needfull things as every Planter doth or ought to +provide to go to New England” in which he enumerated +the necessary victuals per person for the first year, viz:</p> + +<p>“8 Bushels of meale, 2 Bushels of pease, 2 Bushels of +Otemeale, 1 Gallon of Aquavitae, 1 Gallon of Oyle, 2 Gallons +of Vinegar, 1 Firkin of Butter; also Cheese, Bacon, +Sugar, Pepper, Cloves, Mace, Cinnamon, Nutmegs and +Fruit.”</p> + +<p>The household implements listed were:—“1 Iron pot, 1 +Kettel, 1 Frying pan, 1 Gridiron, 2 Skellets, 1 Spit, Wooden +Platters, Dishes, Spoons and Trenchers.”</p> + +<p>Clothing, arms, and tools of all kinds of course must be +taken and the natural resources of New England and the +fruits of their husbandry and of the sea were expected to +supply the rest of those things necessary to life and comfort. +Those who settled along the shore line north of Boston +found much “fat blacke earth” that yielded bountiful +crops. The soil to the southward of Boston Bay was lighter +and less productive, but the valley of the Connecticut +was found to be of unsurpassed richness.</p> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp63" id="i006" style="max-width: 53.75em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/i006.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption class="caption"><p>PARSON CAPEN HOUSE, TOPSFIELD</p> + +<p>Overhang and one of the “drops”</p></figcaption> +</figure> + +<p>Pastor Higginson wrote enthusiastically of the natural +abundance of the grass that “groweth verie wildly with a +great stalke” as high as a man’s face and as for Indian<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_7"></a>[Pg 7]</span> +corn—the planting of thirteen gallons of seed had produced +an increase of fifty-two hogsheads or three hundred and +fifty bushels, London measure, to be sold or trusted to the +Indians in exchange for beaver worth above £300. Who +would not share the hardships and dangers of the frontier +colony for opportunity of such rich gain?</p> + +<p>But the housewives in the far-away English homes were +more interested in the growth of the vegetable gardens in +the virgin soil, and of these he wrote: “Our turnips, parsnips +and carrots are here both bigger and sweeter than is +ordinary to be found in England. Here are stores of pumpions, +cucumbers, and other things of that nature I know +not. Plentie of strawberries in their time, and penny-royall, +winter saverie, carvell and water-cresses, also leeks and +onions are ordinary.” Great lobsters abounded weighing +from sixteen to twenty-five pounds and much store of bass, +herring, sturgeon, haddock, eels, and oysters. In the forests +were several kinds of deer; also partridges, turkeys, +and great flocks of pigeons, with wild geese, ducks, and +other sea fowl in such abundance “that a great part of the +Planters have eaten nothing but roast-meate of divers +Fowles which they have killed.”</p> + +<p>These were some of the attractive natural features of +the new colony in the Massachusetts Bay, as recounted by +the Salem minister. Of the hardships he makes small mention, +for his aim was to induce emigration. There was +much sickness, however, and many deaths. Higginson +himself lived only a year after reaching Salem. The breaking +up of virgin soil always brings on malaria and fever. +Dudley wrote “that there is not an house where there is not +one dead, and in some houses many. The naturall causes +seem to bee in the want of warm lodgings, and good dyet +to which Englishmen are habittuated, at home; and in the +suddain increase of heate which they endure that are +landed here in somer * * * those of Plymouth who landed +in winter dyed of the Scirvy, as did our poorer sort whose +howses and bedding kept them not sufficiently warm, nor<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_8"></a>[Pg 8]</span> +their dyet sufficiently in heart.”<a id="FNanchor_11" href="#Footnote_11" class="fnanchor">[11]</a> Thomas Dudley wrote +this in March, 1631. He explained that he was writing +upon his knee by the fireside in the living-room, having as +yet no table nor other room in which to write during the +sharp winter. In this room his family must resort “though +they break good manners, and make mee many times forget +what I would say, and say what I would not.”</p> + +<p>But these hardships and inconveniences of living which +the New England colonists met and overcame differ but +little from those experienced in every new settlement. +They have been parallelled again and again wherever +Englishmen or Americans have wandered. In a few years +after the coming of the ships much of the rawness and +discomfort must have disappeared, certainly in the early +settlements, and comparative comfort must have existed in +most homes. If we could now lift the roof of the average +seventeenth-century house in New England it is certain +that we should find disclosed not only comfortable conditions +of living but in many instances a degree of luxury +with fine furnishings that is appreciated by few at the +present time. And this can now be shown by means of +the itemized inventories of estates that were carefully +made, listing the contents of a house, room by room, and +enabling us to visualize the interiors of the homes in which +lived the pioneers of New England.</p> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp95" id="i008" style="max-width: 77.3125em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/i008.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption class="caption"><p>PARSON CAPEN HOUSE, TOPSFIELD</p> + +<p>The Parlor</p></figcaption> +</figure> + +<p>Among the early settlements made in the Colony of the +Massachusetts Bay was one at Agawam, now the town of +Ipswich. The news had reached Boston that the French +were pushing their settlements westward along the coast, +bringing with them “divers priests and Jesuits,” which so +alarmed the Governor and Council that it was decided to +forestall the French and hasten the planting of new towns +north of Boston. The first move was to send the Governor’s +son John, with twelve others, to establish themselves at +Agawam. There were no roads and so they sailed along +the coast in a shallop and took possession of the town site<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_9"></a>[Pg 9]</span> +in March, 1633. Their families and other settlers soon +followed and the increase of population was such that in +August, 1634, the Court of Assistants decreed that the +place be called Ipswich, after old Ipswich in England, “in +acknowledgment of the great honor and kindness done to +our people, who took shipping there.”</p> + +<p>Three months later, in November, 1634, one John Dillingham +arrived in Ipswich and the selectmen granted him six +acres of land on which to build a house. He was from +Leicestershire and with his wife and daughter had come +over in the fleet with Winthrop in 1630, and remained in +Boston until he removed to Ipswich. Life in the frontier +settlement was too severe for him and he died during the +next winter. On July 14, 1636, his widow, Sarah, made her +“last will and testament” being in “perfect memory though +my body be weake & sick” and a few days later she too +was dead, leaving her orphaned daughter to be cared for +by Richard Saltonstall and John Appleton, under the direction +of the Quarterly Court. And this was not at all difficult +for John Dillingham had left a “goodly estate,” for the +times. This Dillingham home has been selected for analysis +because it is one of the earliest estates in the Colony of +which we have exact and detailed information, a number +of documents relating to it having been preserved among +the miscellaneous papers in the Massachusetts State +Archives.<a id="FNanchor_12" href="#Footnote_12" class="fnanchor">[12]</a> Moreover, it shows the furnishings and equipment +of a settler living in a town of only two years growth +from the wilderness.</p> + +<p>The Dillingham homestead consisted of a house of two +rooms and outbuildings with thirty acres of upland, sixty +acres of meadow, i. e., grass land, and six acres of planting +ground near the house, of which four acres were planted +with corn. Apple trees and other fruits were fenced off in +the garden. For livestock there was a mare, three cows, +two steers, two heifers, four calves, and four pigs. There +was an indentured servant, Thomas Downs, to help cultivate<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_10"></a>[Pg 10]</span> +the land and care for the stock, and a maid, Ann +Towle, who not only helped with the housework but also +worked in the fields. “She hath been a faithful servant,” +wrote Richard Saltonstall, executor of the estate, “and +though she was discharged by her mistress a little before +her time was out, yet it may be borne by the estate, considering +her diligence.” Ann had come over in the ship +<cite>Susan and Ellen</cite>, which arrived in April, 1635. Her passage +cost £5.</p> + +<p>The Dillinghams occupied a good social position in the +youthful settlement but their two-room house did not contain +any really fine furniture. The parlor was also used +as a bedroom, a practice which was common everywhere +in the seventeenth century. It had two bedsteads valued +at £1. 6. 8.; a cupboard, 10s.; a sea chest, 10s.; two “joyned +Chaires,” 5s.; a round table, 7s.; a deske, 4s.; and a +band box, 2s. There was also a large nest of boxes valued +£2. and a small nest of boxes worth only three shillings. +The feather beds, boulsters, and pillows on each bed were +valued at about twice as much as a bedstead and the +coverlets averaged about £1. a piece. There were flaxen +sheets for Mrs. Dillingham’s bed and coarse sheets for the +beds of the maid and the indentured servant. A warming-pan +bears silent testimony to the cold of the winter season. +Another bedstead valued at only three shillings may have +been in the garret and occupied by Ann Towle, the maid. +A chest stood in the kitchen—more generally spoken of at +that time as “the hall,” in accordance with the English +usage—and two boxes, probably used for storage and also +for seats. That was all the furniture listed in the kitchen +that was considered of any value. The tables, stools, +benches, shelving, or other furnishings seemingly necessary +to housekeeping at that time either did not exist or +were so crude in construction as to have little or no value +in estimating the estate. We find five cushions, however, +valued at fifteen shillings.</p> + +<p>Mrs. Dillingham died possessed of a few really fine<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_11"></a>[Pg 11]</span> +furnishings—possibly treasured ancestral pieces—for she +bequeathed a silver bowl to the wife of Richard Saltonstall, +and to the wife of John Appleton she gave a silver porringer. +It would be extremely interesting today to know what has +become of these two pieces of Colonial silver. No other +silver is mentioned but on shelving in the kitchen rested +40-1/2 pounds of pewter valued at £2. 14. 0. As a pewter +plate of the time weighs nearly two pounds and a platter +much more the supply of pewter for the table was not +large. Wooden plates, trenchers, and bowls are not mentioned, +but there were twenty-five pewter saucers, six +porringers, seven spoons, and five shillings worth of knives. +As for table forks, they were practically unknown in the +Colony at that time. Governor Winthrop brought over a +fork in 1630, carefully preserved in a case, which is supposed +to be the first and only table fork in the Colony in +the earliest days of the settlements. Knives, spoons, and +fingers, with plenty of napery, met the demands of table +manners in the seventeenth century.</p> + +<p>The large fireplace in the kitchen had its usual equipment +of pothooks, fire shovel and tongs, gridiron, trivet, +and bellows, and beside it was an old dark lantern valued +at only two shillings. There were iron pots, kettles, skillets +and ladles; a brass pot and a mortar. There was a +frying-pan with a hole in it and in a box were kept “bullets, +hinges and other smale things.” Two beer vessels were +listed; a case of bottles, two jugs, three pans, a tray, and +two baskets. Such was the simple equipment of the Dillingham +kitchen. There were plenty of table-cloths and +napkins but no curtains at any of the windows. If a broom +were used it probably was made of birch twigs bound together +around a long handle. Candlesticks do not appear +in the inventory and the only store of food mentioned (aside +from twenty-one new cheeses valued at £2. 16. 0.) was +seven bushels of rye, two firkins and a half of butter, a +half bushel of malt, six pounds of raisins, and some spice. +Our ancestors had a highly developed appreciation of the<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_12"></a>[Pg 12]</span> +value of condiments. In a Salem inventory at a somewhat +later date appear salt, pepper, ginger, cloves, mace, cinnamon, +nutmegs, and allspice.</p> + +<p>Mrs. Dillingham’s wearing apparel unfortunately is not +listed item by item, but given a total value of £5. 8. 4. Her +linen amounted to an almost equal sum. Some of her +deceased husband’s clothing is included in the inventory, +such as a coat with silver buttons, a red waistcoat, a suit of +serge and a black suit of serge unmade, a jacket of cloth, +and an old suit and cloak. Little Sara Dillingham, the +orphaned child, when sent to school to goodwife Symonds +was supplied with “a stuffe petticoat & waskote” and four +“shifts with shewes”; also a gown that cost £2. 10s. Perhaps +after a time she may have been able to read and fully +appreciate the books formerly in her loving father’s chest. +They were:—“Perkins works in 3 volumes, Seaven Treatises +bound in 2 volumes, the Spowse Royall, the bruised +reade, & a little new testiment.”</p> + +<p>By way of contrast let us glance at the inventory of the +possessions of William Googe of Lynn, who died in 1646, +ten years after Mrs. Dillingham had willed that her body +be “decently buyried” and her child “religiously educated +if God give it life.” Googe left a house and twelve acres +of land and the total value of his possessions amounted to +but £28. 11. 7, with debts of £4. 9. 7. He left a widow and +three small children, and though dying in very lowly +circumstances he may have known better times, for John +Mascoll, the servant of Mr. Googe of Lynn, was fined in +1643, for neglecting the watch. The title of honor, “Mr.,” +was used but sparingly in those early days and usually +indicated a degree of social standing in the community.</p> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp94" id="i012" style="max-width: 76.5625em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/i012.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption class="caption"><p>JOHN WARD HOUSE, SALEM</p> + +<p>Built in 1684; showing overhanging second story, gable windows +and casement sash</p></figcaption> +</figure> + +<p>Googe had been a soldier, for among his personal belongings +at death were a sword and belt, a musket and bandoleers, +and also gunpowder. One cow and four hogs comprised +his entire livestock, and five bushels of wheat, ten +bushels of Indian corn, and flax in the bundle lay in the garret +of his house, which was frugally furnished with a chest,<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_13"></a>[Pg 13]</span> +a chair, an old chair, a stool, and a trunk. The family probably +slept on pallet beds made up on the floor, for bedding +is listed but no bedsteads. They had a frying pan, a +gridiron, a skillet, a posnet, an earthen pot, six spoons, and +the following wooden ware, viz: “3 wood trayes & 3 wood +boules & 3 wood dishes, 1s. 9d.; one runlitt, 1s.; paieles +& tubs, 3s.” Two bags valued at two shillings bring to a +close the list of the earthly possessions of William Googe +of Lynn. When the inventory was brought into court it +very properly gave the goods to the widow “for the bringing +up of her three small children.” So reads the record.</p> + +<p>Doubtless there were many families in the Colony little +better conditioned, judging from the relatively small number +of estates settled through the courts when compared +with the deaths and estimated population.</p> + +<p>Googe’s house and twelve acres of land were valued at +only £8. This must have been a very simple, thatch-roofed +house of not more than two rooms, comparable with +the outlying farmhouse of Jacob Perkins that was burned +in Ipswich in 1668. And thereby hangs a tale. Master +Perkins and his wife had gone to town one summer afternoon +leaving the house in charge of Mehitable Brabrooke, +a sixteen-year-old serving maid. We will let the ancient +document in the court files relate what happened.</p> + +<p>“About 2 or 3 aclocke in the afternoone she was taking +tobacco in a pipe and went out of the house with her pipe +and gott upon the oven on the outside & backside of the +house (to looke if there were any hogs in the corne) and +she layed her right hand upon the thatch of the house (to +stay herselfe) and with her left hand knocked out her pipe +over her right arme upon the thatch on the eaves of the +house (not thinking there had been any fire in the pipe) and +imediately went downe into the corne feild to drive out the +hogs she saw in it, and as she was going toward the railes +of the feild ... she looked back, and saw a smoke +upon her Mistress’ house in the place where she had +knocked out her pipe at which shee was much frighted.”<a id="FNanchor_13" href="#Footnote_13" class="fnanchor">[13]</a></p> +<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_14"></a>[Pg 14]</span></p> +<p>The wife of a neighbor came running to the assistance +of Mehitable and afterwards testified that when she reached +the house she looked into both fireplaces and saw no appearance +of fire, only a few brands nearly dead under a +great kettle hanging in the chimney. She also looked up +into the chamber through the floor boards that lay very +open on the side where the smoke was.</p> + +<p>Could photographs more vividly picture the scene? The +thatch-roofed farmhouse had two rooms on the ground +floor and a chimney with two fireplaces. An oven was +built on the backside probably having an opening inside +the kitchen fireplace in the usual manner. The house +was of but one story judging from the low roof that the +maid was able to reach when standing on the oven, and the +floor of the chamber in the loft had wide cracks between +the boards so that it was possible to look through from below +and see the under side of the roof. In similar homes +lived many a family in the early days in comparative comfort.</p> + +<p>As for the careless Mehitable, she was brought before +the Quarterly Court on suspicion of wilfully setting the +house on fire; a serious offence, which as late as 1821, was +the cause of the execution in Salem of a sixteen-year-old +boy. Among those who deposed at her trial was a young +man who said that as he and she were going into the +meadow, before the fire, to make hay, she told him that +her mistress was angry with her, but she had “fitted her +now” for she had put a great toad into her kettle of milk. As +it turned out the Court ordered Mehitable to be severely +whipped and to pay £40 damages to her master Jacob Perkins. +It now seems incredible that a serving maid of 1668 +could ever get together so large a sum of money.</p> + +<p>The settlers in the New England Colonies, unless persons +of wealth or possessed of large families, during the early +years lived generally in houses having but one room and +an entry-way on the ground floor. Above would be a +chamber—sometimes only a garret. As the family<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_15"></a>[Pg 15]</span> +increased in size and became more prosperous another room +would be added to the house on the other side of the entry +and chimney, making the structure a so-called two-room +house. Still later, with the need for more room, a leanto +would be built on the back of the house, thereby supplying +three additional rooms on the ground floor with a kitchen +in the middle. The earlier kitchen would then become a +living-room or “sitting room”—in the New England phrase. +This earlier kitchen was usually called “the hall” during +the seventeenth century and in it centered the life of the +family. It was the room where the food was cooked and +eaten. There the family sat and there the indoor work +was carried on. A loom sometimes occupied considerable +space near a window and frequently a bed was made up in +a corner, on which the father of the family slept, and there +sometimes also he died.</p> + +<p>The principal feature of this common room was its huge +fireplace in which hung pots and kettles suspended by +means of pot chains and trammels from the hardwood +trammel-bar or lug-pole that rested on wooden cross bars +and so bisected the wide flue in the chimney. These large +fireplaces in the early days were sometimes called “chimneys” +in the vernacular of the time. They were generally +as wide as eight feet and a ten foot opening is not unknown.</p> + +<p>This cavernous opening was spanned by a wooden lintel—a +stick of timber sometimes sixteen inches or more square, +and when exposed to a roaring fire, piled high with logs, +this became an element of danger, the charring wood +smoldering all night and setting fire to the house. The +trammel-bar in the flue also caught fire not infrequently +and gave way, allowing the pots and kettles to fall to the +hearth, bringing disaster to the dinner or to the curdling +milk and sometimes to those seated near. A trammel +stick in the house of Captain Denney gave way from this +cause and a large kettle filled with wort<a id="FNanchor_14" href="#Footnote_14" class="fnanchor">[14]</a> fell down and +spilt the boiling liquid over four of his children who were<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_16"></a>[Pg 16]</span> +sitting or lying on the hearth, some of them asleep, “which +scalded them in so terrible a manner, that one died presently +after, and another’s life is dispaired of” continues the +record.</p> + +<p>“Here is good living for those who love good fires,” wrote +Higginson in his “New-Englands Plantation,” and under +the spell of the glowing flames, the bare, whitewashed walls, +the brown timbers and floor boards of the ceiling, the dress +of pewter, and the simple furnishings of the room, enriched +by the shadows, became a place full of cheer—a place +where privation and homesickness might be forgotten in +the glow of the bright firelight. On cold nights the short +bench inside the fireplace was a chosen place and the settle, +a long seat made of boards with a high back to keep +off the draft, was drawn before the fire and here sat the +older members of the family.</p> + +<p>The larger kettles hanging in the fireplace, were of brass +and copper and some of them were of prodigious size. Hot +water was always to be had and these kettles also served +for the daily cooking, the cheese-making, soap-boiling, and +candle-dipping.</p> + +<p>Much of the food of the average New Englander until +comparatively recent times consisted of corn-meal, boiled +meats and vegetables and stews. Every well-equipped +household had its spits for roasting and many had gridirons, +but the usual diet of the average family was “hasty pudding,”—cornmeal +mush and milk—varied by boiled meat +or fish served in the center of a large pewter platter and +surrounded by boiled vegetables. Baked beans and stewed +beans appeared on the table several times every week in +the year. Indian bannock, made by mixing corn meal with +water and spreading it an inch thick on a small board +placed at an incline before the fire and so baked, was a +common form of bread. When mixed with rye meal it became +brown bread and was baked in the brick oven with +the beans and peas.</p> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp98" id="i016" style="max-width: 77.8125em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/i016.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption class="caption"><p>JOHN WARD HOUSE, SALEM</p> + +<p>The Parlor</p></figcaption> +</figure> + +<p>The brick oven was a feature of every chimney. Sometimes<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_17"></a>[Pg 17]</span> +in early days it was built partly outside the house +but so far as known the opening was always in the kitchen +fireplace. To reach it the housewife must stoop below +the oaken lintel and stand inside the fireplace, taking care +that her woolen skirts did not come near the flames. To +heat it for a baking, a fire was built inside, usually with +specially prepared pine or birch wood that had been split +and seasoned out of doors for a short time and then housed. +The oven was hot enough when the black was burned off +the top and the inside had become a uniform light color. +The fire and ashes were then taken out by means of a peel—a +long-handled, flat-bladed shovel made for the purpose—and +when dusted out with a broom made of hemlock +twigs it was ready for the brown bread, beans, peas, Indian +pudding, pies, and rye drop cakes which were made +with rye meal, eggs and milk and baked directly on the +bricks in the bottom of the oven. Potatoes and eggs were +roasted in the ashes of the fireplace.</p> + +<p>Between the years of 1635 and 1655, court records and +inventories of estates in the Massachusetts Bay Colony +mention the following articles of food:</p> + +<p>Bacon, beef, butter, cheese, eggs, fowls, lamb, milk, mutton, +pork, suet, veal, wild game, and cod, herring, mackerel, +salmon and sturgeon.</p> + +<p>Barley, beans, Indian beans, bran, cabbages, carrots, +chaff, corn, English corn, Indian corn, hops, Indian meal, +rye meal, oatmeal, oats, parsnips, pease, pumpions, rye, +squashes, turnips and wheat.</p> + +<p>Apples, berries, fruit, honey, raisins, sugar and vinegar.</p> + +<p>Biscuit, blewlman, bread, cake, malt, salad oil, porridge, +rye malt, yeast, salt and many kinds of spices.</p> + +<p>Much of this food was raised on the farm and nearly +every family had its garden. Such articles of food as were +imported were usually obtained at the shops in the larger +towns by barter, as money was scarce. In 1651, a farmer +from the frontier town of Andover came through the woods +to Salem in his cart bringing twelve bushels of rye. He<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_18"></a>[Pg 18]</span> +stopped at a shop owned by George Corwin and from the +daybook kept at the time and still carefully preserved, we +learn that among other necessaries he carried home sugar +for the goodwife and for the children—a doll and a bird +whistle.</p> + +<p>In the early years domestic animals were too valuable +to be killed for meat but game was plentiful and was roasted +by being trussed on iron spits resting on curved brackets +on the backs of the andirons. This, of course, required +constant turning to expose the roast on all sides in order +to cook it evenly—a task frequently delegated to a child. +A skillet would be placed beneath to catch the drippings. +Sometimes a bird was suspended before the fire by a twisted +cord that would slowly unwind and partly wind again, +requiring some one in frequent attendance to twist the +cord. Families of wealth possessed a “jack” to turn the spit. +This was a mechanism fastened over the fireplace and connected +with the spit by means of a pulley and cord. A heavy +weight suspended by a cord which slowly unwound, supplied +the power that turned the spit.</p> + +<p>At night, on going to bed, the fire was carefully covered +with ashes in order to keep it for the next day. This was +called “raking up the fire.” If through poor judgment the +fire didn’t keep some one would go to a near neighbor to +borrow coals, or if this was inconvenient, resort was then +had to the tinder box. Tinder was made by charring linen +or cotton rags and the tinder box was kept in the niche on +the inside of the fireplace, made by leaving out a couple of +bricks.</p> + +<p>In “the hall,” usually upon open shelves, but sometimes +upon a dresser, was displayed the pride of the housewife,—the +dress of pewter and lattin ware. “China dishes,” +imported by the East India Company or made in Holland, +were used sparingly during the early years of the colonies. +There was much earthenware and stoneware bottles and +jugs, but it was woodenware and pewter that were commonly +used. When Lionel Chute died in 1645 he bequeathed<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_19"></a>[Pg 19]</span> +his silver spoon to his son James.<a id="FNanchor_15" href="#Footnote_15" class="fnanchor">[15]</a> It was the only +piece of silver in the house. Of pewter he died possessed +of fourteen dishes “small and great,” eleven pewter salts, +saucers and porringers, two pewter candlesticks and a +pewter bottle. The widow Rebecca Bacon who died in +Salem in 1655, left an estate of £195. 8. 6., which included a +well-furnished house. She had brass pots, skillets, candlesticks, +skimmers, a little brass pan, and an excellent supply +of pewter including “3 large pewter platters, 3 a size lesse, +3 more a size lesse, 3 more a size lesse,” having a total value +of £1. 16. She also had a pewter basin, six large pewter +plates, and six lesser, nineteen pewter saucers, two fruit +dishes, an old basin and a great plate, two candlesticks, +one large salt and a small one, two porringers, a great flagon, +one lesser, one quart, two pints and a half pint; and +an old porringer. She also left “1 silver duble salt, 6 silver +spoones, wine cup & a dram cup of silver.”</p> + +<p>Giles Badger of Newbury left to his young widow, a glass +bowl, beaker, and jug valued at three shillings; three silver +spoons valued at £1, and a good assortment of pewter, +including “a salt seller, a tunell and a great dowruff.” The +household was also furnished with six wooden dishes and +two wooden platters. In other inventories appear unusual +items such as a pewter brim basin, pewter cullenders, +pewter beer cups, pans, and mustard pots. Pewter tankards +were common. There were new and old fashioned +candlesticks. Pewter salts came in three sizes and the +saucers were both small and large. In 1693, best London +pewter plates cost the Boston shopkeepers 9-1/2 pence per +pound in quantity.</p> + +<p>The seventeenth century “hall” must have had little +spare room for its daily occupants, for in addition to its +table and chairs, its settle, stools and wash bench, the long +ago inventories disclose such chattels as powdering tubs +in which the salted meats were kept, the churn, barrels +containing a great variety of things, keelers and buckets,<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_20"></a>[Pg 20]</span> +bucking tubs for washing, and the various implements +used in spinning and weaving, washing and ironing, cooking +and brewing, and the making of butter and cheese. +In the chimney hung hams and bacon and suspended from +the ceiling were strings of dried apples and hands of seed +corn.</p> + +<p>It is claimed by some that the floors were sanded. That +certainly was true at a later period but there are strong +elements of doubt as to the prevalence of this custom during +the seventeenth century. Sand, however, was used +freely with home-made soft soap, to scrub the floors which +were always kept white and clean, and whenever an early +house is restored or taken down sand is always found, +sometimes in considerable quantity, where it has sifted +down through the cracks between the floor boards. The +downstairs rooms had double floors but the chamber floors +were made of one thickness of boards with here and there +a knothole and frequently with cracks between the boards +through which the dust and dirt from above must have +sifted down upon the heads of those seated at dinner or engaged +in their daily tasks in the rooms below. Not only +does the structural evidence show this to be true but a +number of instances occur among the papers in Court files, +where witnesses have deposed as to what they had seen +and heard through the cracks in chamber floors. A grandson +of Governor Endecott once fell a victim of two gossiping +sixteen-year old girls who had spent some time on their +knees peeping through the cracks in a chamber floor. +Capt. Richard More, the last survivor of the company on +the “Mayflower,” late in life kept a tavern in Salem. He +was spied upon in this manner and eventually brought before +the justices of the Quarterly Court to answer for his +evasion of the law set forth and maintained at that time.</p> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp100" id="i020" style="max-width: 77.125em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/i020.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption class="caption"><p>JOHN WARD HOUSE, SALEM</p> + +<p>The kitchen showing roasting jack, settle, birch broom, +hands of seed corn, etc.</p></figcaption> +</figure> + +<p>The parlor, called “the foreroom” at a later time, was the +room where guests of station were received. The best bed +hung with curtains and valance and covered with a rug, +stood in a corner. In those days rugs were not used on<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_21"></a>[Pg 21]</span> +floors but as bed furnishings. Even the baby’s cradle had +its rug. Carpets, likewise, were too fine for wooden floors +and were used as table covers. Of bedsteads there were +many kinds,—high and low, canopy, close, corded, half-headed, +joined, side, standing, inlaid, and wainscott, and +slipped under the higher bedsteads during the daytime, +were trundle or “truckle” beds in which the children slept +at night. Lionel Chute, the schoolmaster, had an “old +darnkell coverlet” on his bed while some of his neighbors +possessed branched and embroidered coverlets and several +had coverlets made of tapestry.</p> + +<p>Among the better families the parlor and chamber windows +had curtains hung from rods. In the parlor stood one +or more chests in which were stored the family clothing and +bedding, for closets did not exist in the seventeenth century +house. There were great chests and small chests, long +boarded and great boarded chests, chests with a drawer, +carved chests, wainscot chests, trunks, and boxes. A few +stools and chairs, a looking glass, a small table, and perhaps +a cupboard completed the furnishings of the well-supplied +parlor. In Capt. George Corwin’s best room there were +chairs with leather bottoms and straw bottoms, a clock valued +at £2, a screen having five leaves, a napkin press, and +a “Scriture or Spice box.” White calico curtains hung at +his chamber windows and the maid had a “Calico Cuberd +cloth” in her room. Parlor walls were whitewashed and +bare of ornament. The first families owned a portrait or +two in oils and here and there a map in unglazed frame +decorated a wall. The Puritan character did not warm to +the fine arts and austere living was the aim if not always +the achievement of the time.</p> + +<p>The chambers in the second story must have been curiously +furnished rooms, containing a huddle of stores of +all descriptions. Henry Short, the town clerk of Newbury, +died in 1673 leaving a goodly estate valued at nearly £2000.<a id="FNanchor_16" href="#Footnote_16" class="fnanchor">[16]</a> +He owned a negro slave and his house was large and well<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_22"></a>[Pg 22]</span> +furnished. There was an old parlor and a new parlor containing +beds, chests, chairs, trunks, and boxes. In the +chamber over the new parlor there was a good feather-bed +and bed clothing but no bedstead. Wool and yarn were +stored in this room together with boxes, tubs, some feathers, +and miscellaneous “lumber”—the phrase of the period +for odds and ends. The chamber over the kitchen, a comfortable +room of course, in winter, had its bed and bedding, +also “5 hogsheds, 6 barrels, 5 Iron hoopes, a pair of stock-cards, +meale trough & other lumber, a parcell of old Iron, +a pike, a bed cord & other cordage.” Small wonder in +such a clutter that the rooms frequently had other tenantry +than the human occupants.</p> + +<p>When Jasper Dankers arrived in Boston in 1680, the captain +of the packet took him to his sister’s house where he +lodged. “We were taken to a fine large chamber,” he +writes, “but we were hardly in bed before we were shockingly +bitten. I did not know the cause, but was not able +to sleep.... My comrade who was very sleepy, fell asleep +at first. He tumbled about very much; but I did not sleep +any the whole night. In the morning we saw how it was, +and were astonished we should find such a room with such +a lady.”<a id="FNanchor_17" href="#Footnote_17" class="fnanchor">[17]</a></p> + +<p>With the present wide-spread belief in Puritan austerity +of character, there is associated a conception of a simplicity +of dress and manners. But the channels of information +by which present day beliefs have been shaped usually +have been ecclesiastical, and bias and convenient forgetfulness +have been factors in outlining the composition of +the picture. Human nature and human frailities were +much the same in the seventeenth century as at the present +time. In point of fact, our New England ancestors when +viewed as a body, are found to have had standards of living +far below those of today. The common speech was +gross in the extreme. Crowded living led to familiarity. +There was more drunkenness, profanity, loose living and<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_23"></a>[Pg 23]</span> +petty crime in proportion to the population than at the +present time, and by no means did every one go to meeting +on Sunday. The ministers controlled the lawmaking body +and sumptuary laws were enacted which are enlightening. +Because of “newe and immodest fashions” the wearing of +silver, gold and silk laces, girdles and hat bands was prohibited. +It was the fashion at that time to slash the sleeves +so that a fabric of another color worn beneath would show +in an ornamental manner through the slash. The ministers +decreed that neither man nor woman should wear +clothing with more than one slash on each sleeve and another +on the back. “Cuttworks, inbroidered or needle +worke capps, bands & rayles,” were forbidden.<a id="FNanchor_18" href="#Footnote_18" class="fnanchor">[18]</a> Ruffs and +beaver hats were prohibited, as was long hair. Binding +or small edging laces might be used, but the making or +selling of bone lace was penalized at the rate of five shillings +per yard.</p> + +<p>But this didn’t change human nature and although from +time to time offenders were taken into court and punished, +the wearing of fine clothing fashioned after the London +mode continued and a few years later the ministers tried +their hand again. Any kind of lace was anathema and “no +garment shalbee made with short sleeves, whereby the +nakedness of the arme may bee discovered.” On the other +hand, large sleeves were forbidden, so the maids and goodwives +of the time must have been somewhat at a loss to +know how lawfully to fashion their clothes.</p> + +<p>The minister at Ipswich grew so ill-tempered over the +ungodly state of the women in his town that he vented his +spleen as follows:—“When I hear a nugiperous Gentledame +inquire what dress the Queen is in this week, what +the nudius tertian of the Court, I look at her as the very +gizzard of a trifle, the product of a quarter of a cypher, the +epitome of nothing, fitter to be kickt, if she were of a kickable +substance than either honoured or humoured.”<a id="FNanchor_19" href="#Footnote_19" class="fnanchor">[19]</a></p> +<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_24"></a>[Pg 24]</span></p> +<p>The minister in the adjoining town, Rowley, actually cut +off his nephew from his inheritance because he wore his +hair long in the prevailing fashion. Later in the century +the offense of wearing long hair was forgotten in the unspeakable +sin of wearing wigs. The Great and General +Court again took a hand and in 1675 condemned “the practise +of men’s wearing their own or other’s hair made into +periwigs.” Judge Sewall in his <cite>Diary</cite> alludes to the custom. +In 1685 three persons were admitted to the Old South +Church in Boston. “Two wore periwigs,” comments the +Judge.</p> + +<p>“1708, Aug. 20, Mr. Chievar died. The Wellfare of the +Province was much upon his Spirit. He abominated Periwigs.”<a id="FNanchor_20" href="#Footnote_20" class="fnanchor">[20]</a></p> + +<p>The Great and General Court at one time ordered that +no person should smoke tobacco in public under a penalty +of two shillings and six pence, nor in his own house with a +relative or friend. But everybody smoked who wanted to, +even the maids, and the repressive legislation in time met +the usual fate of similar efforts to restrain individual liberty +and manners.</p> + +<p>It is sweet to fancy Priscilla at her spinning wheel wearing +the coif and nun-like garb of the Puritan maiden of the +poet and the artist. But the inventories of estates in the +early years of the Colony, as well as at a later time, furnish +evidence of a different character. The variety of fabrics +listed is amazing and holds its own with the modern department +store. There are most of the well-known fabrics +of today, such as calico, cambric, challis, flannel, lawn, +linen, plush, serge, silk, velvet, and many others; and +there are also names that sound strangely in modern ears, +viz: cheney, darnex, dowlas, genting, inckle, lockrum, ossembrike, +pennistone, perpetuana, sempiternum, stammell, +and water paragon.</p> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp100" id="i024" style="max-width: 78em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/i024.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption class="caption"><p>JOHN WARD HOUSE, SALEM</p> + +<p>Corner of the kitchen showing dresser with its “dress of +pewter,” wash bench, meal chest, wooden ware, etc.</p></figcaption> +</figure> + +<p>As for dress,—the women wore bonnets, caps, silk hoods, +coifs, forehead cloths, ruffs, and whisks. Gowns, cloaks,</p> +<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_25"></a>[Pg 25]</span></p> +<p>mantles, and muffs are mentioned frequently; as are many +kinds of lace and even fans and veils. Shawls and scarfs +were not unknown and there were gold, silver, and enamelled +rings. At least one woman possessed a mask, and +stomachers were not uncommon. Tortoise shell combs +appear; all well-to-do persons wore gloves, and as for shoes—there +were shoes with French heels, fall shoes, and those +with silver buckles. Even shoe-strings appear in the inventories. +There were silver, pewter, and steel buttons +and those of gympe, thread, and silk.</p> + +<p>Laboring men wore leather and coarse fabrics and for +others there were suits, doublets, waistcoats and breeches. +Trousers are mentioned; also a cane and periwigs. Of +caps and hats there were a number of kinds—felt, castor, +demi-castor, and even straw. Capt. George Corwin, a Salem +merchant, owned a cloth coat trimmed with silver lace, a +velvet coat, a tabby doublet, an old fashioned Dutch satin +doublet, four cloaks of various kinds, two pairs of golden +topped gloves, one embroidered pair, and a pair with black +fringe. He also took his walks abroad wearing silk stockings, +with a hat encircled by a silver band and carrying a +silver headed cane or a plate hilt rapier, according to fashion. +He possessed two silver watches. Who shall say that +the men and women of the New England colonies did not +dress well and live well in the early days according to their +means?</p> + +<p>What was their conduct not only in their homes but in +their relations with their neighbors? Did they live peaceably +and work together in building up the settlements? +Did they set up in the wilderness domestic relations exactly +like those they had abandoned over-seas? It was a raw +frontier country to which they came and it is apparent that +at the outset they felt themselves to be transplanted Englishmen. +So far as possible they lived the lives to which +they had been accustomed and they engrafted in their new +homes the manners and customs of the generations behind +them. Most of them fully recognized, however, that they<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_26"></a>[Pg 26]</span> +were not to return; that they had cut loose from the old +home ties and it was not long before the necessities and +limitations of frontier life brought about changed conditions +in every direction. Politically, religiously and socially, +they were in a different relation than formerly in the +English parish life. Many of them, especially those somewhat +removed from the immediate supervision of magistrate +and minister, before long seem to have shown a tendency +to follow the natural bent of the frontiersman toward +independent thought and action. Their political +leaders made laws restricting daily life and action and their +religious leaders laid down rules for belief and conduct, +that soon were repellent to many. Civil and clerical records +are filled with instances showing an evasion of and even +contempt for the laws and rules laid down by the leaders +of their own choosing. Some of it doubtless was in the +blood of the men who had come in search of a certain individual +freedom of action, but much of it may be attributed +to frontier conditions and primitive living. There were +many indentured servants, and rough fishermen and sailors +have always been unruly. Simple houses of but few rooms +accommodating large families are not conducive to gentle +speech or modesty of manner nor to a strict morality. +The craving for land holding and the poorly defined and +easily removed bounds naturally led to ill feeling, assault, +defamation, and slander.</p> + +<p>It has been stated frequently that in the olden times in +New England every one was obliged to go to church. The +size of the meeting houses, the isolated locations of many +of the houses, the necessary care of the numerous young +children, and the interesting side-lights on the manners of +the time which may be found in the court papers, all go to +show that the statement must not be taken literally. Absence +from meeting, breaking the Sabbath, carrying a burden +on the Lord’s Day, condemning the church, condemning +the ministry, scandalous falling out on the Lord’s Day, +slandering the church, and other misdemeanors of a similar +character were frequent.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_27"></a>[Pg 27]</span></p> + +<p>A curious instance of Sabbath breaking occurred at +Hampton, N. H. in 1646. Aquila Chase and his wife and +David Wheeler were presented at court for gathering pease +on the Sabbath. They were admonished. The family +tradition has it that Aquila returned from sea that morning +and his wife wishing to supply a delicacy for dinner, +fell into grave error in thus pandering to his unsanctified +appetite.</p> + +<p>At the Feb. 29, 1648 session of the court held in Salem, +eight cases were tried. A Gloucester man was fined for +cursing, saying “There are the brethern; the devil scald +them.” Four servants were fined for breaking the Sabbath +by hunting and killing a raccoon in the time of the public +exercise to the disturbance of the congregation. If the +animal had taken to the deep woods instead of staying near +the meeting house the servants might have had their fun +without paying for it. Then came a Marblehead case—a +man who had sailed his boat into the harbor loaded with +hay that he had brought from Gloucester. This was on +the Lord’s Day at the time when people were going to the +morning exercises. He, too, was fined. Nicholas Pinion, +who worked at the Saugus Iron Works, was presented for +absence from meeting four Lord’s Days together, “spending +his time drinking and prophanely,” and Nicholas Russell +of the same locality was fined for spending a great part +of one Lord’s Day with Pinion in drinking strong water and +cursing Pinion’s wife thereby causing jealousy in the family; +and the woman in question having broken her bond +for good behavior, was ordered to be severely whipped. +The other cases were for swearing, in which the above +named lady was included; for being disguised in drink; +and for living from his wife. And so the court ended.</p> + +<p>Drunkenness was very common in the old days. Every +family kept on hand a supply of liquor and wine, and cider +was considered a necessity of daily living in the country, +where it was served with each meal and also carried into +the fields by the workers. It was stored in barrels in the<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_28"></a>[Pg 28]</span> +cellar and the task of drawing the cider and putting it on +the table usually fell to the younger members of the family. +A man would often provide in his will for the comfort +of his loving wife by setting aside for occupancy during +her life, one half of his house, with a carefully specified +number of bushels of rye, potatoes, turnips and other vegetables; +the use of a horse with which to ride to meeting or +elsewhere; and lastly, the direction that annually she be +provided with a certain number of barrels of cider,—sometimes +as many as eight.</p> + +<p>Rev. Edward Holyoke, the President of Harvard College, +was in the habit of laying in each year thirty or more barrels +of cider as he had to provide for much entertaining. +Late in the winter he would draw off part of his stock and +into each barrel he would pour a bottle of spirit and a +month later some of this blend would be bottled for use on +special occasions.</p> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp50" id="i028" style="max-width: 75em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/i028.jpg" alt=""> + <figcaption class="caption"><p>WELLCURB AT THE JOHN WARD HOUSE</p> + +<p>Showing wellsweep, wooden bucket and girl dressed +in the costume of the late 17th century</p></figcaption> +</figure> + +<p>As an example of life and manners in seventeenth century +New England, the ministerial experiences of Topsfield +may be cited. It is an inland town near Ipswich and was settled +in 1639. The first minister was the Rev. William Perkins +who had been a selectman and representative at Weymouth +and a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery +Company in Boston. Later he preached at Gloucester where +one of his flock was presented at court for unbecoming +speeches against Mr. Perkins, saying “if it were not for the +law, shee would never come to the meeting, the teacher was +so dead ... affirming that the teacher was fitter to be a ladys +chamberman than to be in the pulpit.”<a id="FNanchor_21" href="#Footnote_21" class="fnanchor">[21]</a> He removed to +Topsfield in 1656 and before long was collecting his salary +through the courts. Some of his flock retaliated and +brought him into court for drunkenness, when it appeared +that he had stopped at the Malden ordinary and called for +a cup of sack but goody Hill told him that he had had too +much already and Master Perkins replied “if you think I +am drunk let me see if I can not goe” and he went tottering<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_29"></a>[Pg 29]</span> +about the kitchen and said the house was so full of potts +and kettles that he could hardly go.</p> + +<p>In 1663 a meeting house was built in Topsfield, and the +Rev. Thomas Gilbert, a Scotchman, supplanted Mr. Perkins. +The new minister also had a love for good wine and after +a time Mr. Perkins entered a complaint and it appears from +the records that one sacrament day Mr. Gilbert entertained +at dinner a number of the older men and women whose +homes were distant from the meeting house. He possessed +a golden cup and what was left of the sacramental wine +was drunk at dinner, the cup being passed around the table +at least twice, the minister drinking deeply with the not +unusual result, for he forgot to give thanks and sang a +psalm with lisping utterance. Mr. Gilbert was followed +in his pastorate by the Rev. Jeremiah Hobart, a Harvard +graduate, who, during his eight years stay in Topsfield, became +a familiar figure in the courts because of suits for +non-payment of salary, for cursing and swearing, and for a +damaging complaint for slander exhibiting much discreditable +testimony. Then came the Rev. Joseph Capen and +during his pastorate of over forty years the town and church +enjoyed a peaceful growth interrupted only by the witchcraft +delusion of 1692 in which an attempt to appropriate +land of Topsfield men played an important part.</p> + +<p>But manners and crimes vary with the centuries as do +dress and speech. In the year 1655, the following crimes +were penalized in the courts of the Massachusetts Bay +Colony: eavesdropping, meddling, neglecting work, naughty +speech, profane dancing, kissing, making love without consent +of friends, uncharitableness to a poor man in distress, +carelessness about fire, wearing great boots, etc., and a +few years later we find other strange misdemeanors, such +as abusing a mother-in-law, wicked speeches against a son-in-law, +kicking another in the street, leaving children alone +in the house, pulling hair, riding behind two fellows at +night (this was a girl, Lydia by name), sleeping in meeting +and dissenting from the rest of the jury.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_30"></a>[Pg 30]</span></p> + +<p>With such minute supervision of the daily life of the +colonists it can readily be appreciated that it was an age +for gossiping, meddlesome interference with individual life +and liberty and that in the course of time nearly every one +came before the courts as complainant, defendant or witness. +There were few amusements or intellectual diversions and +they could only dwell on the gossip and small doings of +their immediate surroundings. But all the while there +was underlying respect for law, religion and the rights of +others. The fundamental principles of human life were +much the same as at the present day, and men and women +lived together then as now and as they always will—with +respect and love.</p> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp30" id="i030" style="max-width: 20em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/i030.jpg" alt=""> +</figure> + + + + +<hr class="chap x-ebookmaker-drop"> + +<div class="chapter"> +<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_31"></a>[Pg 31]</span></p> + +<figure class="figcenter illowp90" id="i031" style="max-width: 105em;"> + <img class="w100" src="images/i031.jpg" alt=""> +</figure> + + +<h2 class="nobreak">AN ACCOUNT OF SUPPLIES FURNISHED BY<br> +THE COMPANY OF THE MASSACHUSETTS<br> +BAY TO REV.
