1754 January 18 (Friday). Much Company interrupting especially at Eve. Mr. Timothy Warrin in Defence of Samuel Bumpso, so far as to prevent his going to Jayl, if getting posts and Rails next March might Satisfie on an Execution and Note of last October the third follow’d by continual Ingratitude, negligence and unfaithfulness. One Mr. Moon of Lebanon here, tells me Dr. Eliot[1] of Killingworth is dead.
[1]This reference is puzzling, for the Reverend Jared Eliot of Killingworth, who also served as a physician, lived until 1763. Two of his sons who also practiced medicine there died in 1741 and 1747.
