At the close of that year I was sold to a Thomas Stanton, and had to be separated from my wife and one
daughter, who was about one month old. He resided at Stonington-point. To this place I brought with me from
my late master's, two johannes, three old Spanish dollars, and two thousand of coppers, besides five pounds
