Fun Facts: Historical Insight: (Ancestry)

In 1880, Rebecca T. Bryant was working as a keeping house. At the time she was living in White, Arkansas. The average workweek in 1880 was around 60 hours a week. For a common laborer, the average weekly wage was $8.00, or $204 in today’s dollars. This, however, was not the average experience for women and minorities, who often earned significantly less, while sometimes working substantially more hours.

NOTE: even though Rebecca Ann Fox was said to be James and Rebecca’s daughter by another member of Ancestry; I have yet found the source to confirm that she was indeed their daughter.
