1764 October 1 (Monday). Much interrupted and disturbed by the breaking in of Sheep and Hoggs (my own) into my Field. P.M. had Lieutenant Bakers two Yoke of Oxen to join with my own two Yoke to plow stubble at Cook Island. Nathan and Jonas Kenny helped me; and my John and Natty Chamberlin were also with the Team. N.B. Messrs. Daniel Forbes and Daniel junior’s wives made us a Visit — and each brought a Cheese. Send by Mr. Nathaniel Ball for my Mare from Boston which Samuel rode on.
