Thursday, April 4, 1839: I plowed corn hills. Today my plow hitched to a fast stone and the plow handle struck partly in my side and then I stumbled and hurt my back.
Friday: Today I was quite lame with my side and back.

Tuesday: This afternoon I took the single wagon and rode up to Birt’s tavern and was qualified with the other three assessors for that office and I paid three cents for bitters. Today said Stephen Wheeler mended my harness and mended shoes for me.
Wednesday: Today I walked to John Smith near the pool to see Mrs. Sophia Crocker if she had sold the shoe maker tools that her husband left, but she had sold them.
Thursday: I took my covered wagon and carried my wife and two oldest daughters to the Union Meeting house near Alps on the line of this town. Mr. Wilcox the Universalist minister was married to the daughter of Juni Chittendon, her name is Sarah.
Saturday: I walked to Hancock to Mr. Amos Delanie’s and hired a watch for this season for my daughter Angeline to keep the time in school, and I called to old Deacon Edward Carr’s to have him come and pay up the back rent I paid for his daughter to Stephen Van Rensselaer’s office. I called to Hiram Brown’s and helped elect Elijah Graves as a trustee for Old Stephentown to draw towns money.
