March 16, 1773

1773 March 16 (Tuesday).  Went to See and talk with Solomon Batheric and his Wife, they having had a Child too soon.  The man not at home.  Admonished the woman, calling her to Repentence.  P.M. Visit Mrs. Fisher who also has lately brought forth a Child prematurely.  Admonished and exhorted her — her Husband not there.  So that I determined to take another time.  N.B. Capt. Thomas Mellen and his Wife, with Deacon Wood and his wife, made us a Visit.  N.B. Solomon Prentice of Grafton we hear was seized lately for putting off Counterfeit Dollars: and two more [blank] for making them.  The former is bailed, the two latter are committed.  My Son Breck is gone to Worcester to secure his own Interest with one of them.
