205 "Mr. H n."
Rev. Mr. Honyman, rector of Trinity Church, Newport,
the blank indicating a need of reticence.
206 "Mr. Bourse?
Peter Bours of Newport, a man of influence in the Church
and the community, and the father of the Rev. Peter Bours.
He died in 1761 at the age of 56. (Note 308.)
207 "Bennet."
Thomas Bennet. He and his wife, Ann, are repeatedly mentioned in the Narragansett Register, as sponsors, — in one
case, for their grandson, Benjamin Bailey.
208 "Mr. Duglass's."
The Douglass house, built about 1737, is still standing in
North Kingstown, upon the Post Road, at the corner of that
and the road running easterly over " Kit's Hill" to the Gilbert Stuart house and the old North Ferry. The date of
its erection may yet be read upon the heavy stone chimney, the last figure, however, being difficult to decipher. It
is so placed that one driving between the church and the
Glebe House was obliged always to pass it. It is again referred to later in the Diary. The house and farm have
lately been sold, but, so deserted and unattractive has the
neighbourhood become, they brought but a few hundred
dollars.
209 "Br" Jn" sheered?
A sheep shearing was in those days an occasion of festivity,
as witnessed by the presence of Mrs. MacSparran and her
niece at this and the one two days later at Rowland Robinson's. The Narragansett people were of so social a disposition as to take advantage of every favourable opportunity for
a merry-making.
210 "Little Nab Gardiner."
Abigail Gardiner, a daughter of Mr. John Gardiner, of
Boston Neck, and a niece of Mrs. MacSparran. She was
at this date not yet five years of age, having been born
September 26, 1740. About fifteen years later she married
Lodowick Updike, " ye young Squire " of the Diary. (Note
