When I visited St. Mary's City, Maryland many years ago, the interpreter
at the Godiah Spray Tobacco Plantation had a toddler with him attired only
in a shift - no diaper underneath. I remember that he explained a little
about 17th century toilet training, but I don't remember what he said.
Perhaps someone there still has this information? Their web site is
www.stmaryscity.org.
Good luck, sounds interesting.
