Individual Details

Peter was an invalid for many years previous to his death, being troubled with dropsy; consequently he was not able to work, and as he was very poor, his family suffered many hardships, being in want frequently of the necessaries of life. Henry was raised on cornbread and buckwheat, and got only about three loaves of white bread during the whole of his stay in Franklin Co., for if the young Stands children got plain white bread occasionally, they considered themselves happy children. When quite young, Henry was hired out to different parties, by his mother, receiving at first only $1.50 per month, which meager stipend was always collected by his mother and used to buy food for the younger children;when he grew older he earned more wages for the family, and finally learned theweaver's trade. The Stands children were ambitious, and when they grew up,desiring to better their financial condition, Henry removed the family to Stark Co., in 1829, where Peter was supported by his son John, until he died, several years after coming to Ohio.
