NOTE. 



In the statement on page 54, as to the Freeborn plough, it 

 is intimated that Freeborn was a maker not a designer of 

 ploughs, and his plough is identified with that of Jefferson 

 through the use of the phrase, " spiral wind." Since the 

 manuscript was given to the printer, the writer has seen a 

 New York City advertisement of the year 1819, in which the 

 Freeborn plough is distinctly described as a " cast-iron 

 plough " and of " Wood's patent." This is proof that the 

 Freeborn plough was of the Jeffersonian model.
