1745 May 22 (Wednesday). In the Morning about 8 o’Clock I rode to Mr. Williams’s and marry’d his Daughter to Mr. Reuben Maynard of Shrewsbury. Immediately return’d back to Mr. Breck who was waiting for my Company to Marlborough. He and his little Daughter rode in his Chair and Mrs. Sally Gott and I in Mr. Tainters Chaise. We call’d to see Colonel William Ward. We din’d at Dr. Gotts p.m. From Mr. Smiths Fence my Mare broke loose and ran away with the Chaise. Soon oversett it. Scrap’d one Thill in Sunder, clear’d herself of her tackling and posted away for home, but was presently Stop’d by the Smith on the Hill. We gather’d up the broken Tackling, dragg’d the Chaise to Mr. Smiths, and I rode to Deacon Stevens’s and got him to it to look upon it and make a new Thill. Thus I left the Chaise, and my wife and child rode with me on Horseback home at Evening.
