Anniversary of the Treaty of
Paris of 1783 which recognized
American = Independence, and

River.
Fabrics and styles of clothing
in Colonial times were as varied
as they are today. Some families
wore homespun which they had
mde, while others ordered
magnificent damas, satin and
lace from England. The lives
they lived reflected these styles.
The Daughters Of the American
Revolution urge you to observe
February as American History
Month.
Some aspects of everyday life
in Colonial America remain the
same to this day. George Mason
wrote a friend relative to
cockroaches, warning him
against including any clay or
loam in the mortar for his new
house: “I wou’d by no means put
clay or loam in any of the mor-
tar. In the first place the mortar

is not near so strong and besides
from its being of a more soft and
crumbly nature, it is very apt to
nourish and harbour those per-
nicious little vermin the
cockroaches...I have seen some
houses so infested with these
devils that a man had better
have lived in a barne than in one
of them.” Join The Daughters Of
The American Revolution and

In 1654 “Mistress Margaret
Brent, Gentleman,” received the
grant for land that later became
Alexandria, Virginia. She was
given the 700 acre grant on the
- Potomac River in exchange for
bringing fouteen indentured ser-
vants from England to Virginia.
In petitioning the Maryland
Council for the right to vote,
Margaret Brent was probably
the first feminist in Colonial
America. The account of the
proceeding tells that she was
turned down, and that she ob-
jected to the decision. Won't you
join The Daughters Of The
American Revolution in observ-
ing February as American
History Month?
Revolutionary American
town charters often had definite
sanitary and fire restrictions.
One Virginia town charter of
1748 prohibited both houses
with wooden chimneys and that
would enforce the building of
enclosures strong enough to
keep hogs within bounds at all
times. Join The Daughters Of
The American Revolution in
observance of February as
American History Month.
Fair days often coincided with
court days in the Colonial
Chesapeake Region. The
farmer’s wife selected her best
preserves to display in the
market square. She also brought
some of her finest linen cloth,
made from homegrown flax.
Please join The Daughters Of
The American Revolution and
observe February as American
History Month.
Pocket money in small
denominations was scarce in ear-
ly America. The people solved
this by simply cutting coins into x
sections. The sharp and jagged
edges of these pie-shaped coins
led to their being called sharp
“shins.” The “Daughters Of "The
American Revolution invite you
to join them in = observing
February as American History
Month.
A fire mark on a building in
Colonial American indicated
that the owner was insured.
Each insurance company had its
distinctive plaque, so that the
volunteer firemen would know
from which company to claim
their reward for putting out the
fire. If two companies arrived at
the same time, the members of
the bucket brigades sometimes
engaged in a heated argument.
As fistfighting took precedence
over fire fighting the property
might be reduced to ruins. Won’t
you join the Daughters Of The
American Revolution in observ-
ing February as American
History Month and read about
some of our exciting history for
yourself?
