Notes for Phebe WILLIAMS

---

Phebe Williams was educated at Westtown, and at the boarding school of Hannah Williams at Plymouth Meeting. In her younger days she learned to spin, and had fine old linen towels of her own make, also long knitted linen stockings, for which she had spun the thread. She did beautiful sewing. The buttons on all wash goods at that time were made at home out of thread. An old man in the neighborhood of Elkdale cut out bone buttons by hand, and the village blacksmith at Sadsbury made their great cloak-hooks from pieces of silver money--first beating them into wire and then shaping them.
