1751 August 21 (Wednesday). I waited upon the Ladys as far as the Edge of Southborough in their Journey. My sons Ebenezer and Thomas go to mowing at the Island — but by Various Hindrances, did not begin to mow there till late in the forenoon. My Wife grew so ill that we were glad to See Mrs. Forbush[1] (the Midwife) coming to See us. And we detain’d her all night. Mrs. Bekky Warrin with her Child here, and tarrys to her Aunts Labour.
[1]Old “Granny” was the widow of Thomas Forbush.
