1750 September 27 (Thursday). My Son Thomas left us to go to Concord again. Billy rode with him as far as to Deacon Jonathan Rice’s in Sudbury, to bring back the Mare, on which he rode. Visited Rufus Hardy[1] who is dangerously Sick. Din’d there. P.M. attended the Funeral of little Sarah Forbush daughter of Mr. Daniel Forbush.
