1752 November 25 (Saturday). But may God be pleas’d to grant me a Suitable Frame of Temper under all his Dealings with Me and Mine! At Eve came Three of our Young Kinswomen, viz. Ruth, Hannah and Elizabeth Hicks[1] from Salem and Cambridge in their return Home to Sutton; and lodge here. N.B. This is the first Night of our tying up Cattle in my New Barn. We now put up three Cows.
