June 12, 1754

1754 June 12 (Wednesday).  Mr. Martyn came here in order to go with me to Grafton.  No word nor Lisp of either Side respecting the Epistolary Acrimony.  At Grafton we join’d with Messrs. Cushing and Hall[1] in hearing the Matters of Difficultie between a Number of the Church and Mr. Hutchinson,[2] who they conceive, was chargeable with Falsehood in saying that the Selectmen had agreed and determin’d to move Mr. Arnolds Shop and at Such a Time — when they had not.  See the Minutes of the Council.  Mr. Carter,[3] Father in Law to Mr. Hutchinson there.  Mr. Hall at Eve went home.  The rest of us lodg’d there.

[1]David Hall of Sutton.

[2]Aaron Hutchinson.

[3]Margery Carter of Hebron, Conn., married the Grafton minister.
