1748 October 31 (Monday). Mr. Williams and I (who had all this Time lodg’d together) rode together to Holden. Old Mr. Clark my old irish Neighbour Scourg’d us. Call’d at Mr. Davis’s.[1] Mr. Williams to Lancaster. Mr. Phelps my Company to Shrewsbury. I visited Mr. D. Warrin of Shrewsbury and his wife who were very sick and low, the latter especially. Got to my Family in safety — blessed by God for his great Goodness! But we are under Affliction by my wife’s Lameness, which came only by a little Scratch in her Ankle. Found Mr. Pierpoint from New Haven at my House.
