March 5, 1759

1759 March 5 (Monday).  Though it was a great Storm of Snow yet it did not hinder the Towns assembling.  Deacon Pond came with Lt. Holloway to bring the Towns Desire that I would go to the Meeting House to pray with them, which I did.

 

N.B. Deacon Livermore here.  I talked with him about the Town Debt to me, and enquired into the Reason of the Towns treatment at their Meeting Dec. [blank] 1755 when he was moderator and sent me such Votes as I received signed by him.  Lt. Holloway also being here I talked with him about the Same.  Young Mr. Martyn came And when I was going to send a Message my Self, he Answers that it was his Fathers Desire that I would preach his Lecture the same Day that I have appointed my own to be.

 

My Daughter Sarah has been and remains grievously exercised with Tooth-Ach.  Blisters for it.  As far as I can gather, all that are now sick of the Meazles in this parish are upon the Mending Hand.  Blessed be God!  Had a Reckoning with Lt. Rolf, and pay him £11.4.6 old Tenor.
