“My animals include two cows, a calf, a yoke of oxen, a horse, a two-year old colt, two swine, and thirteen sheep, which I sheared in May.
“My neighbors, my father, and my brothers borrow my oxen for work on their farms, to go to the sawmill, to cart stone, and to go to Derby.”—David Hickok, South Britain, 1771 Journal.
