DescriptionsEdit Descriptions

The series begins in 1795, and centers around William Rees, a veteran of the Revolutionary War, a land owner, and a skilled weaver. Rees is restless, and can make more money as a weaver than as a farmer, so he left the farm in the hands of his wife, Dolly while he traveled around getting weaving jobs. Dolly died in 1787.   Rees worked the farm for two years, but then invited his sister Caroline and her husband to run the farm in return for caring for his only child, David Rees.   He did not recognize how badly his son was treated during his infrequent visits home, and David ran away in 1795, at the age of 13, to the Zion Shaker Community.
