1751 November 27 (Wednesday). Mr. Edward Willson came to top out my Chimney, the morning being pleasant: and my son Ebenezer here to help him. But by that Time the Staging was compleated, the weather was So Cold, he quitted it. Samuel Bumpso here and din’d with us. P.M. they all clapp’d to and finish’d the Vault of the Little House, and bank’d it up. Mrs. Nabby Baker at work here, making my wife a plad gown. P.M. I Catechiz’d at the Meeting House. P.M. Baldwin and John Woods left us. For this turn of their Work am indebted to Jeduthan Baldwin £4.13.4, or 35£ old Tenor — in all £9.6.8, or 70£ old Tenor this Day. N.B. His whole work comes to £113.10 shillings old Tenor.
