Dear Listers,
PBS has produced another very good reality type series called Colonial House.
The series takes modern folk back to 1628 where the participants live life
as new settlers in New England in 1628.
It was a real test of the participants will since the life our ancestors
lived nearly 400 years ago was much more rugged and difficult than we are ever
faced with in modern society. Even for those who are used to "roughing it" while
camping would, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sustain the 1628 way
of life for four months.
These participants had to:
wear the clothing of our early ancestors (quite a challenge to get accustomed
to such coverings and lack of other coverings we are very used to);
cook over a fire and keep that fire going regardless of the outside temps;
make a profit for the colony as the early colonists had to do in order to
finance their trip from their investors;
attend church for a total of six hours on Sunday;
obey the early colonist laws pertaining to attending church (a must in the
early colonies), keeping their attire appropriate, how they lived in their
homes, as well as their manner of speech, i.e. no obscenities;
stay within the role they each had to play within the fictitious colony.
The series really brings to the fore how woman today have much freedom. Our
female ancestors did not enjoy a fraction of the type of freedom we enjoy
today. Woman were the cooks, cleaners, child bearers, and child minders. Their
whole day was taken up by these duties. They also had no say in colony affairs.
The men, on the other hand, ruled their households, controlled colony life,
and worked very hard six days a week (Sunday was the mandatory observation of
the Sabbath).
For those of us interested in our ancestry this PBS series is quite good at
giving us a look into the lives our ancestors lived and it really brings home
how robust our ancestors must have been to sustain life in the "New World."
If any of you have the option of viewing this series I highly recommend it.
Our ancestors truly broke new ground in many ways while creating this country.
We should all be very grateful for the paths they created and on which we
enjoy walking today.
Best Wishes,
Sheila Andersen

Dear John,
As Bulletin Editor for the Society I believe that the society will not allow
me to publish the bulletin in a pdf file. I could be wrong though, maybe one
of the other board members can answer this query for you? jackie gilligan

I read the John Clough Society communications with interest (although
sometimes they become disjointed as I read replies to questions I did
not see).
As I am having to change my email address due to excessive spam would
you please update my address from
cloughie(a)blueyonder.co.uk
to
john_clough(a)blueyonder.co.uk
Also, I believe that as I am not a descendant of your John Clough I can
not be a full member. (Sorry not sure of the rules).
Would it not be possible to have sight of the bulletins say in pdf form?
Many thanks
John Clough
