bark timber. In the spring and summer the women weed the 
corn ; and enjoy a second harvest in September by hop-picking. 
Formerly, in the dead months, they availed themselves greatly by 
spinning wool, for making of barragons, a genteel corded stuff,

It appears that a child, bora and bred in this parish, has an equal chance to live above forty 
years. 
Twins thirteen times, many of whom dying young have lessened the chances for life. 
Chances for life in men and women appear to be equal.
