HISTORY TIDBIT

Sometimes while researching information about the original owner of the house and his ancestors we fall down the rabbit hole. As we go through old maps, wills , diaries I found this gem! It’s a distant cousins will. For those unable to read the script, it says "I also give to my loving wife all the -- linen & bedding to which she has made during the time she has been my wife”.

Can you imagine someone allowing you to keep the things that you made yourself?! this would never be tolerated in today’s world! Lol I don’t think anyone would put up with this!! Lol
