Martha Ballard

Martha Ballard
Beginning in 1785, Martha Ballard kept a daily journal that documented EVERYTHING in the daily life of her community as well as weather conditions, children she helped to deliver (she was a midwife in Hallowell) and her own personal financial accounts.  More on her journals and her life can be seen on this site: http://dohistory.org/diary/.
