Telling you where I came from and how did I live?
My real name is Mary Ludwig and I'm the daugther of a German settler, John George Ludwig. I grew up and helped my father, who was a dairyman, on the farm. I was raised to be a hard worker, so I was a heavy-set, strong, and sturdy girl. I could do all the chores and tasks that a small farm would need.Then in 1768, I was hired by Mrs. Irvine from Carlisle, Pennsylvania, because she wanted a young girl to help with the housework.I had to live with a doctor and Mrs. Irvine for few years, and then I met my husband, John Casper Hay, a local barber. We married on July 24, 1769. I was so happy to have a husband, so charming.
