Day: May 12, 1780

May 12, 1780

1780 May 12 (Friday).  It is but a Melancholly Time with me.  Nothing at all doing in my Husbandry, having neither Man nor Boy to assist me.  The weather is indeed cold, and the season backward.  Mr. Thomas Adams of Medfield came to see me and lodges here.

Why Do the Days Listed in the Diary Entries before Sept. 15, 1752 Not Correspond to the Days on the Calendar?

In 1752, Great Britain and the American colonies switched from the Julian Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar, which we use today in a slightly updated form.
