Thomas is from the LDS Church's unverified Ancestral File (GXZD-5W), which reports he is of Ipswich, Suffolk, and is son of Humphrey Bradstreet who d. in 1618 and is son of Rychard Bradstreet, son of Symond Bradstreet and wife Eleanor - Symond is reported to have been b. ca. 1491 in Gislingham, Suffolk, and to have died there 1 Sept 1556.
----------------------
The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the 1500s':
Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and still smelled pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.
Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, Don't throw the baby out with the Bath water.
Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof. Hence the saying It's raining cats and dogs.
There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence.
The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying, Dirt poor. The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entrance way. Hence the saying a thresh hold.
In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while. Hence the rhyme, Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old.
Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could, bring home the bacon. They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and chew the fat.
Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.
Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the upper crust.
Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would sometimes knock a person out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a wake.
England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house, and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift) to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be, saved by the bell or was considered a dead ringer.
And that's the truth. Now, whoever said History was boring !
[31570] See "Pioneers of Massachusetts - 1620-1650," Charles Henry Pope (Boston: New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2013), p. 131. Find A Grave Memorial 36859591 offers: "Born about 1599 (aged 36 in 1635 [Hotten 108]; deposed about 4 April 1660 "aged sixty years;" deposed 25 June 1661 "60 years or thereabouts;" d. 27 November 1685 aged "about 86"). Died in Charlestown 27 November 1685 "about 86" or 28 November 1685 (from inventory). (By 4 November 1685, Barnabas Davis could no longer sign his name, or even make his mark, and wife Patience made her mark rather than sign, although they must have been deemed mentally competent to alienate land on that date.) Married in Tewksbury, Gloucester, 1 July 1628 Patience James. She was baptized at Tewksbury 20 October 1603, daughter of John and Elizabeth James, and died at Charlestown 15 November 1690, aged 87 years. On 13 July 1635, "Barnabie Davies," aged 36, was enrolled at London for passage to New England on the Blessing. (Immediately following his name was that of "Suzan Daves" or "Danes," aged 16. It has been suggested that she was a relative, for which see her sketch.) Barnabas Davis made several Atlantic crossings between 1635 and 1640 in the employ of the brothers William and John Woodcock. This business arrangement resulted in a lengthy legal entanglement, which provides us what information we have on this period of the life of Barnabas Davis."
[43541] An unverified file in 2017 at http://familytrees.genopro.com/546381/default.htm?page=Dow-OrchardC-ind566876.htm states Nathan m. Betsy Prible and provides ancestry back to Henry Dow (d. 1 May 1659). Ancestry.com offers: "Dow Name Meaning - Scottish (also found in Ireland): reduced form of McDow. This surname is borne by a sept of the Buchanans. English: variant of Daw. Americanized spelling of Dutch Douw, an Old Frisian personal name. Americanized spelling of German Dau."
