November 16, 1747

1747 November 16 (Monday).  Neighbour Ebenezer Maynard kill’d a Pigg for me which at home Weigh’d 64.  His Brother Nathan at Eve went with it to Boston.  My wife and I at Mr. Whipples, his Daughter Lucy[1] being married this Evening there.  We had an agreeable Supper and Company.  O may we remember the Midnight Cry![2]

[1]Lucy Whipple married Moses Pratt of Hardwick.

[2][Additional note: Matthew 25:6, “And at midnight there was a cry made.  Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.”]
