William Robinson was milling grain within his own outbuilding in the summer of 1668 when he was caught in the mechanism of his machine and, "by ye cogwheel of his mill was was torn in pieces and slain." Thusly, Ursula Adams added a "dwelling house, orchard, meadow, hempyard," barn space, a "stable, cow yard, one-half the pasture, [nine] acres salt marsh by the river, and half the fresh meadow by Thomas Trott's and all the planting ground near his house being [eleven] acres"to her estate, the bequest of her third husband.

The dangerous occupation of the farmer has always been so.1
