November 25, 1771

1771 November 25 (Monday).  A number of Teams brought me Wood from the ministerial Lot.  I rode to Cornet Brighams about his son Elijahs going to Monadnock, and helping Breck in his Journey home.  Mrs. Mary Harrington, Wife of Mr. John Harrington, was here, was examined and approved.  The Teams which brought Wood were Capt. Maynards drove by Solomon Maynard and Came three times.  Deacon Wood, Messrs. Ebenezer Maynard, Phinehas Maynard, Benjamin Warrin, Ebenezer Forbush, Seth Morse, George Andrews, Timothy Warrin, Abijah Gale, Benjamin Tainter, Thomas Bond, Joseph Bond, Lt. Harrington, Lieutenant Baker, and Abraham Beeman, all came twice; and Abraham Bond once.  The Cutters were Joseph Harrington, Eli Harrington, [blank] Davis, Antipas Maynard, Edward Gay (for himself), John McCullock for Deacon Wood; Benjamin Ball for Mr. Morse, Mr. Timothy Warrin junior, Samuel Andrews, Jonathan Maynard, Benjamin Tainter, these three (I suppose) for their Fathers, and Nathaniel Chamberlin for Lt. Baker.  They cutt in and carted from the Ministerial Lot.  They Supped here at Evening except a few, viz. Messrs. Abraham Bond, Abraham Beeman and Benjamin Ball, that went home with their Teams.  Seven Quarts of Rum were sent and given.  Capt. Brigham sent a Loin of Mutton and Capt. Maynard 22 1/2 lbs. of Beef.
