1747 July 13 (Monday). In the Morning I rode over to Mr. Dunlop to get him to come and reap. Found him at Lieutenant Tainters. Our Girls Bekky Hicks[1] and my Lucy pull’d Flax. Mary Bradish came and pull’d another Piece of Flax. Old Mr. Axtell[2] from Grafton here. He tells me Mr. Loring is gone along, fearing the Storm which threatens. He says Mr. Prentice sat in the Pulpit — divers at meeting in the forenoon that were not in the afternoon. N.B. Jonas Brigham[3] here on the Affair of his joining to the Church.
[1]Rebecca was the daughter of Parkman’s brother-in-law, John Hicks of Sutton.
[2]Thomas Axtell.
[3]The son of David Brigham of Westborough.
