1745 March 25 (Monday). In the Morning walk’d with Mr. Jenison to Merchant Rices. Was at Captain Bakers[1] — and at Abner and Deacon Newton’s. This Last Consider’d me on account of the Towns being so long prevented being assess’d, and so the Rates for my Sallery and Support suspended — he paid me 5£ old Tenor. N.B. One David Dunsmore of Wrentham here. Bought a very large Deer Skin of him. P.M. Mr. Thomas Goodenow and Mr. Elijah Rice’s wife here. In the Eve Mrs. Hephzibah Maynard. Heard that Mr. Seth Rice is so oppress’d with being forc’d into the North Precinct that he has mov’d his Family and stock out of it, and Deacon Tomlin is also preparing to build in this Parish.
