April 30, 1777

1777 April 30 (Wednesday).  I am informed that Mr. Solomon Bakers Corps was bury’d early this morning before [blank].

 

Mr. Francis Whipple came and informed me that his poor little Child (which was always from its Birth unlike other Children, weak, pining, unable to Speak etc., yet well nigh 6 years old) dyed this morning.  Hear that Regulars have burnt Danbury.
