May 8, 1746

1746 May 8 (Thursday).  I found there was a Considerable Frost last Night.  Rode to Shrewsbury and Consulted Mr. Cushing[1] upon our Difficultys in the Church.  Din’d there.  Settl’d my account with Mr. Parker Shoemaker — was at Mr. Thomas Smiths whose wife is making me a Calamanco Jacket and Breaches.  When I got home Neighbour Eliezer Rice concerning the Ministerial Meadow.  Mr. Daniel Warrins (alias Spriggins). They were in Sorrows for 2 of his wife’s Brethren who dy’d at Cape Breton.
