January 28, 1756

1756 January 28 (Wednesday).  The Weather in the Morning was doubtful.  My Son William Sat out with a Team made up of my Steers with my sons Cart, and Neighbour Barnabas Newtons oxen, to go to Sutton for Corn from Mr. Trasks.  Mr. Jonathan Kenny induces him and is very fair in promising me to go with him and assist him and See him well back as far as Mr. Jennisons — but when Mr. Kenny had set out it began to rain — for which reason I Sent word that if it rained they Should not proceed, yet they proceeded notwithstanding the Rain.  Mr. Grow came to work, closing my Kitchin.  Lucy grows Worse.  Mary Chamberlin (Aet. 18) dyed last Evening.
