1761 April 21 (Tuesday). Deacon Tainter Setts up the Dial, by my Shop. The Inhabitants meet together at the Meeting House to give in their Invoice. And Messrs. David Maynard, Edwards Whipple and Edmond Rice come to me to know whose that Dial is, that if it is the precincts, they may set it where they have a mind to, and not where Deacon Tainter pleases. [Marginal notation: Lieut.] Mr. Tainter with his Team, and Ensign Harrington with his, plough my Field behind the Meeting House. N.B. send £3.3.0 by Mr. D. Hardy to Mr. Pierce for his son Jonathan. Isaac Baldwin here in his Return from Springfield and Brookfield.
