1744 August 1 (Wednesday). Thomas did not come here from Mr. Beemans till 11 o’Clock. Neighbour How[1] came in the morning and told me that Jonathan Tainter dy’d last Evening and This Day he was to be bury’d; and accordingly was so. N.B. Thomas at Burial, so that he wrought but about 2 Hours today, or but little more.
