March 5, 1746

1746 March 5 (Wednesday).  Young Mr. Emerson from Worcester here, and presently Captain Flagg[1] both from Worcester. P.M. I was designing to go to Marlborough but Mrs. Child (Jonas’s wife) here to be examin’d.  Brother Hicks from Cambridge.  N.B. Though he has been down so long yet little Effected towards settling Accounts, but he tells me they were oblig’d to put in a Petition to the Judge to bring forward the Settlement of them.[2]  At Eve he went to Sutton.

[1]Captain Benjamin Flagg, Jr.

[2]This concerned the settlement of the estate of Parkman’s first father-in-law, Samuel Champney of Cambridge.
