Selling that at market. Those would be the sources of income for this family. So they are working hard, they are doing well. And they have they are basically the top of the working class. Could you refer to them as the midland sort. And again they are farmers. This is based on the woodhouse family. They have edward and cecilia and on one stone is says e. W. And that stands for edward wood house and this is his home and he and his wife cecilia has six children. You can see it is timber framing and there was not as much wood in england at the time. Things like ship building and tanning have deforested so youre going to need to be resourceful. But the fact that this person can afford wood and have wood and Wooden Furniture in his home shows he is doing well. And we have in the square panels we have quadle and daub. That is like a basket weave, and one plain, with one plain and you would have daub on one side and daub on the other. It consists of what you have on the farm, like straw, anim

And part of the graduation present is they would get their own Spinning Wheel. Now
In the case of woodhouses. So second and third sons are left with, you could say nothing, tangible. An the second and third sons would be leaving and going to america to seek their fortune, you could say. Or they could choose the military, the university. And maybe be an apprentice to another tradesman much like Joseph Woodhouse was. The other thing that i would like to mention that is a Common Thread is people are wanting to have a place of their own. Whether it be english or irish or german. And so if the oldest son gets everything, then the second and third sons are going to need to leave to go to america if they want to have land. And if you came to america, before 1700, paying your passage, of course, on a ship bound to virginia, you had the right to receive 50 acres of land for free.
