April 16, 1745

1745 April 16 (Tuesday).  The Prizers of the Personal Estate came, and view’d the Land, the House and Barn.  I din’d with them in Brother Champneys Room.  N.B. very unhappy Disagreements of Temper between Brother Champney and sister Lydia which had Subsisted for some Time, and were now foolishly and sinfully discover’d to my great Grief and Sorrow.  My Brother and I were together in the Chamber looking over Brother Champneys Long accounts.
