Nope - not a cent. We all just worked together to get done what needed doing: chores, barn cleaning, gardening/canning/freezing produce, fieldwork, housework, hand dad tools when he was doing mechanic work, take out the trash, etc.
However, with me being the youngest kid - by the time I was 10, Dad rented out the farmland and sold his all his livestock. So Dad had me take over mowing the entire building site with his Cub Cadet (except for the road ditches because they were high and steep)... since he still worked a full-time factory job until my senior year of high school and all my siblings had graduated except one sister who was NOT an outside kind of kid.
Mom and dad would let me go with them to movies at the theater, out to eat at the occasional "supper club" as they called a nice restaurant back in the day... and I got to travel to Colorado and to Massachusetts to visit my older siblings (who all eventually moved back to Minnesota). Dad also rented a cabin on Lake Vermilion the last several summers of my high school years - so I got to vacation more frequently than my older siblings ever did.
The icing on the top of the cake was... dad got new Mercury for my mom... so in high school I got to use their older Cadillac to go hang with friends and "cruise main".
Life was GOOD! I'd do it all over again... in a heartbeat!! :)

The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
