1746 December 8 (Monday). Deacon Forbush here to ask me to go over to his son Solomon Woods there have been an odd Occurrence there, for when Mrs. Woods had lain in and got Joanna Fay from Southborough to Nurse her, on the Fourth Day the Nurse (an unmarried, Young Woman) falls into Travail and was deliver’d of a Child. Yesterday morning it dy’d — and they who were nearly Concern’d would now have me Visit her and be at the Funeral. I went accordingly — talk’d with the Girl who seem’d penitent but would not tell who was the Father of her Child. After Prayer I return’d to Lieutenant Tainters and thence to Captain Bakers. N.B. My wife rode with me as far as Captain Bakers and waited there till I came. We Supped there. N.B. Young Men’s Society met this Evening at old Mr. Maynards to settle their accounts etc.
