1751 April 9 (Tuesday). The Snow being chiefly gone, my masons came, Mr. Obadiah Newton and Mr. Edward Willson to top out my Chimney, but they were beat off by the Rain. Din’d them at home. P.M. about 4 they go to work again. They lodg’d here, and I kept their Horses. N.B. Ebenezer and Thomas tended the Masons.
