Warren Weston's Journal (Abstracts)
MD Pilgrim Notes & Queries 2:1:2+
Warren Weston was of Duxbury, Mass, and seems to have been a ship carpenter. The
diary begins with the entry for 1 January, 1765; and the last entry is dated 28 April,
1766. Only forty-eight pages of the book have been preserved, and the diary covers but
eight of these pages.
On the last page appears, in an unidentified hand, and all written at one time,
a list of Brewster names, as follows: warren Weston Brewster, William M. Brewster, Daniel
Weston Brewster, Job Ellis Brewster, Polly B. Brewster, Betsy E. Brewster, Sally C.
Brewster, "Prescelly" Weston Brewster, Harriet Green Brewster, Lydia W.
Brewster, Joshua [*] Brewster. The first nine names are those of children of Joshua and
Lydia (Weston) Brewster and grandchildren of the Warren Weston who wrote the
"Jurnal".
* G and either S or L were written here, but which initial was correct is
uncertain.
