December 8, 1740

1740 December 8 (Monday).  Very Stormy Day, and we were nigh without wood.  P.M. Mr. Seth Rice[1] here about his sister Thankful.[2]  Neighbour Aaron Forbush here and reckoned with me.  They both of them fetch’d wood.  At Eve Ensign Maynard and Mr. Francis Whipple here, and Mr. Hall of Sutton came and lodg’d here.

[1]Son of Edmund Rice.

Why Don’t the Days Listed in the Diary Entries before Sept. 15, 1752 Correspond to the Days on the Calendar above?

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.
