1776 August 13 (Tuesday). Visit a Child of Mr. Piper that is Sick at Mr. Ebenezer Millers. Also old Mrs. Woods; both in my way to Upton, where I went to the burying of Mr. Warrin. Our Kinswoman is left sorrowfull no doubt; but her late Husband has been So plodding and Successful that his Estate is not Small; and only 3 Children. Mr. Fish prayed. In returning home I called at Mr. Martin Pratts. N.B. Mounting the young Horse I rode upon I was in peculiar Danger by being cast on the Horse’s Neck, from which I could not recover for some time; but by the good Providence of God I was saved. D.G.!
