Benjamin Butler Borden, son of John, writes," I cut a little hole in the woods, built a log house, and moved into it 23rd Mar 1820 many big hemlocks did I cut by moonlight, the wolves howling all around, it is said that poverty is the mother of invention, and as we began poor, we were compelled to do all we could ourselves. My wife having children to care for, spinning a churn, and rocking the cradle at the same time."
