From the Diary of Kate Ashby

December 14, 1771

Attended Mrs. Hunter thro' the long night with her pains. At sunrise, praise be to God, she delivered her seventh son. He is called Clark for his great grandfather. The boy has a hearty cry and I left him in good hands with his papa and many brothers to tend to Mrs. Hunter's needs. She is a hearty woman herself and will no doubt be on her feet shortly, my instructions to the contrary notwithstanding.
