## Experience

A true child of Sleepy Hollow: drowsy, peaceable, and given to trances, visions, and the seeing of marvelous sights.

##### The Suydam holding by the marsh (Sleepy Hollow, NY)
**Beekeeper** — 1783–present

Sheared the sheep each spring and carded the wool for the goodwives' wheels; the sleigh got the household to church through every drift of that winter.

##### Couwenhoven's dairy (Sleepy Hollow, NY)
**Ploughman** — 1790–1792

Banked the schoolhouse fire and walked the children home through the haunted wood; the barn was up between dawn and supper.

#### Skills and tools ##

Practised at soap boiling, well drawing, and spinning wool, with barn raising besides. All of it learned on the holdings of this valley, from people who had it from theirs.

_Recorded in the parish register of Sleepy Hollow, autumn of 1799._
