Now the wild ponies live on the island of Chesapeake Bay. Chesapeake Bay streches from the states of North Carolina, South Carolina,Maryland, Virgina, and Georgia. The colonist had to survive on the ships for ore than two months.

They mostly travel in boats that they made out of logs or wood. Next, They would travel by river. They didn't have soft, and nice furniture to use. They had to sit on hard, and rough benches. The school had has a fire place inside but, if you were bad you would have to sit on a hard bench in the back of the school house and freeze.

With a churn they use a stick that goes up and down to make the butter. Baby's had to wear something around there waist to keep them from getting hurt when they fall
