I have finally
arrived in the New England Colonies. I just moved into my house which is
located in Connecticut. Living here is so different
from England. You are probably wondering
why I picked up and moved. Well
there are many reasons such as economic opportunity, freedom of religion and an abundance of new
land.
It is absolutely beautiful here. We are west of the Appalachian Mountains and
have lots of bays and harbors around
us. My husband John just got a job as a fisherman. He spends a lot of time out on the
river. I spend most of my day tending to
the house and taking care of the children. The children are extremely focused
on their studies. They have been going to school to learn to
read the bible.
We
decided not to move to the southern colonies because there is no schooling for
the
children unless
you are extremely wealthy. We would also be working long strenuous hours on the farm. I enjoy
living in the New England colonies and experiencing the four seasons even
though the winters are extremely cold. We stay warm
with furs that we trade with the Indians.
Hopefully all is
well back in England. I missing my friends and family. I hope they decide to make the move.
