Colonial Life
I am John Miller a new colonist of New York. Born in a family of 6 I was working in my father’s inn very early on. At age 16 my family decided to move to the new world from England with the promise of work in New York. We quickly settled into a small town outside New York and started anew. My father Michael Miller opened up an inn in the town and it seems like every day more new people come in. My mother, Mary, and my sister, Meaghan, take care of all the housework and menial tasks in the inn. My older brother Jack used to work at the mills with me as a lumberjack but finally settled as a brewer.

Life at the mills is good hard work and it allows me to bring home some wood for the family to use. Moving to America was a great decision my fathers inn has been doing great with no real competition for his inn and plenty of people staying at the inn for trade and other things. The mill has been running at a rapid pace with all the lumber going towards the shipyards in Massachusetts. The mill is still looking for more people and thinking of my younger brother to help increase their production rate. If this luck and work continue I think my family will be the richest family in the colonies
