## Experience

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

##### The Storm farmstead on the millpond (Sleepy Hollow, NY)
**Quilter** — 1786–present

Rose before cock-crow to milk the herd and churn the morning's butter; the household's homespun clothed six through four winters without buying cloth.

##### Sleepy Hollow Grist Mill (Sleepy Hollow, NY)
**Stable Hand** — 1790–1792

Followed the plough from thaw to frost over the stoniest fields in the glen; the barn was up between dawn and supper.

##### Vedder's orchard (Sleepy Hollow, NY)
**Beekeeper** — 1792–1793

Forded Wiley's Swamp by moonlight to fetch the midwife, and lived to tell of it; the crop was in and under cover before the first hard frost, three seasons running.

#### Skills and tools ##

Practised at beekeeping, apple picking, and telling ghost stories, with spinning wool, haymaking, weaving homespun 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._
