December 30, 1751

1751 December 30 (Monday).  Very Cold Season.  I went over to t’other House, and receiv’d Ebenezers Account of his late Journey, in which he sold my Horse for 90£ old Tenor.  It Storm’d and Snow’d hard.  Zachary Hicks[1] was here from Sutton and lodg’d here.  Ebenezer assisted by Mr. Barns[2] kill’d our Chamberlin cow.

[1]Zachariah was the son of John Hicks of Sutton.  Benedict and Tracy, Sutton, p. 660.
