Entry#1     March 7th 1764       Adeline McKinley

I am a servant to a family of 4 at a farm. My life is busy, for I too have a family. I have a child, her name is Lydia. I soon will have another child. Lydia is 2 months. I’m holding Lydia when my husband tells me the news. King George III has put a tax on molasses. I’m going to pay a visit to Tax Collector Lily. I take Lydia. “Keep weeding!” I order John, my husband. And I jump on our mule, Carrot.

At  Lily’s, I notice my sister, Carolina, waiting. “Hi!” Since Carolina was 3, she had been a servant to Lily. ” C’mon.” I say to Lydia. Lydia had already started crawling. Living with Lily isn’t easy,Carolina barely grew up!When she was 3, all she had was a brick. Carolina leads me past about 300 people. “Whoa!” I say. “Carolina?”Lily screams. “Yes?” Carolina replies. “Bring me the next appointment and go get me some tea!” Lily roars. “Bye.” Carolina says and gently pushes me into the room. “Rosie and Dave would never treatme like that!” I say quietly. I step in. ” I hate children!” She demands looking at Lydia. Lydia moans.

My meeting with with Lily didn’t go very well.  Lily has a lot of blond hair and wears alot of colorful colors. I go home. Dave and John had both gone to the tavern. I had no idea that John would die at the event called the Boston Massacre.
