January 19, 1771

1771 January 19 (Saturday).  A.M. Deacon Wood cut out and salts up my pork.  My Kinsman Bradshaw from Boston, going to Great Barrington.  Mr. John Marsh (a Young Gentleman I had not known) came here at Mr. P. Whitneys motion to help me: which I was very thankful for.  He has lately come from Mr. Forbes’s at Brookfield, and informs me that Mr. Parsons dyed on Thursday last — to be buryed next Tuesday.
