Ref#224:
Like his ancestores, David was a pious man. A Puritan in character and
life. His five sons and four daughters were reaed on his farm and
recieved such religious and other instructions as was common in those
days. While the father and sons were tilling the ground or clearing the
forest, the mother and daughters were attending to domestic concerns in
the kitchen, at the spinning wheel or on the loom.
On the Sabbath all work was laid aside, and at an early hour the family
prepared for church which was three miles and a half distant. A common
country cart at first, and afterward, a plain farm wagon, drawn sometimes
by oxen and sometimes by horses was their conveyance. On their return the
remainder of the day was spent in reading the bible, or some good book,
and catechising the young members of the family.
They were connected with the Presbyterian Church at North Orange,
originally a Congregational Church.
Amid these scenes were spent the childhood and early years of Rebecca
Ball, the youngest child of David.
