1751 January 24 (Thursday). Moses Warrin[1] was married to Persis Rice, Daughter of Mr. Seth Rice. Some of the Company (without any Knowledge) took in the Key which offended a Number of persons who came to see ‘em married, and particularly Jonathan Smith was so much displeas’d that he got an Horn, and when the Bridegroom with his Bride and attendants were returning home, he began to blow, even before they had got all of them away from the Road before my Gate. I therefore went out and Smartly reprov’d him for his Impudence and Folly. P.M. my wife and I, though it was very cold, took a Ride to See old Mr. Fay in his illness and confinement. We also went to Benjamin Fay, and examin’d into their suffering Young people to have a Frolick a little while ago at their house. At Eve we were at Mr. Nathaniel Whitneys and we made a Visit also to Mr. Daniel Forbush, where I saw Some of the Sorrowful Effects of the late storm, which blew over his Barn.
