1752 December 11 (Monday).  The Parish met and made the like Grant of 60£ Lawfull Money, as last Year; and voted to finish the pulpit, ministerial Pew, Stairs, Gallery Floors, and Breast work.[1]  Ebenezer brought over 3 Quarters of the Cow, he with Lieutenant Tainters help kill’d last Week — the 4 Quarters weigh’d 18 score wanting one part.

[1]At this precinct meeting they also voted “to sell the pews; the highest payer in the two years they were building to have the first choice.  Chose a committee to mark out the pews and to dignify and set a price upon each pew.  Voted that the pew room on the floor next to the walls, and the room where the four hind seats should be, shall be called Pew-Room.”  DeForest and Bates, Westborough, p. 137.
