1736 August 15 (Sunday). On Mat. 6.16.17.18 and Luk. 19.42. Mr. Dartforth, [Dantforth?] Mr. Chamberlain and Hitty Coddington dined with us. N.B. Isle of Wight Tune Sung p.m. Mr. Samuel Fay went out before the last Singing.[1]
[1]Parkman would later note that Samuel Fay declared that his “chief objections and offence” against Parkman were “what arose from my bringing in new Singing and my wearing a Wigg” (Diary, July 25, 1738).
