1775 October 28 (Saturday). Had very little Opportunity for Study. A.M. divers Avocations. As soon as I had dined and shaved rode in the Rain to Mr. Ebenezer Chamberlains to attend the Funeral of his son Daniels Child.[1] Prayed — discoursed, exhorted — and rode back but could not come into my Study: my Wife’s Niece, Gilbert, with her Husband, was here. They went from us to Capt. Maynards.
[1]Daniel Chamberlain m. Lydia Harrington, Jan. 4, 1775; birth and death of child not in Westborough Vital Records.
