It was very rough and soil was coarse.

It was a hard life but people came to make money and get a farm...even if the soil was poor

Life there was difficult, but farming was great near the rivers. The soil wasn't that great, but near the rivers were great soil to use for cash crops.

As for the 1700's; women were often married by the time they 13-15, if a woman was not married by the time she turned 25 it was considered a disgrace. The purpose of marriage was not a romantic one as it is in today's society. Instead, marriage was more of a "tool", if you will, to move up both in society and financially (at least for the woman). Once a woman was married she lost her entire identity. She was considered part of her husband's property. If a woman were to run away she would be considered a thief. Why? Because she stole the clothes she was wearing and herself.

The job of the woman was often tiring (middle and high class women were able to share their responsibilities with servants) consisting of: making clothes, making household goods to be sold, making candles, tending to farm animals, tending to the house, doctoring the family when they fell ill, and raising the children among other responsibilities.
