いるうちに地震で奥殿が崩れ、頭上に被って六箇所の大怪我を負ったけれども、すぐに逃れ出て家来を励まし、諸品を取り出させた。その家は類焼したけれども、諸記録等まで失うことはなかったという。《割書：これは平生の心がけが良い人と思われた》
○小普請小川町室賀録五郎殿は、住居・長屋・物置まで一軒も残らず潰れた。しかし家中で馬・犬・猫に至るまで死んだ者はいなかったという。これもまた一つの不思議である。
○大御番高三十五石大岡兵五郎殿は、十月朔日夜、自分の居間へ小蟹が二十匹ほど出たが、蜘蛛だと思って追い出した。また翌日二日の夜も再び出たので、侍女に燭台を照らさせて見ると蟹であったので捕らえようとしたが、どこへか逃げてしまった。その後地震にて即死し、その外三人を失ったという。後になって考えると、全く前兆であっただろうということである。

○役小川町富永吉太郎殿は用事のため同所の伏屋新助殿方へ参り相談中、右の地震のため大いに驚き、早々と立ち帰った。ところが糟屋周防守殿の姉で、はや女は右の吉太郎殿の養母であり、その娘のやの女というのを連れて庭へ逃げたが、南の方より奥住居が倒れ、東方から土蔵が倒れ、右の母子共にその場所に打ち敷かれた。当主が驚いて土瓦を取り除いて見ると、母子共に手を取り合い抱き合って死んでおられた。翌三日の夜より陰火が二つ燃え、深夜に及んでは亡霊が姿を現したという風聞がある。
○御目付千二百石本所五ツ目鈴木四郎左衛門殿は書物調べものがあって一室にいたが、地震にて玄関より客間まで潰れたので、子息四郎次殿をもって用人を呼ばせたが帰って来ない。そこで自身もまた出かけようとしたところ、土蔵の壁が

While he was doing so, the earthquake caused the inner mansion to collapse, burying him under debris and inflicting six severe wounds on his head. However, he immediately escaped and encouraged his retainers to retrieve various items. Although his house was consumed in the spreading fire, he managed to save all his records and documents. 《Marginal note: This showed him to be a person of good daily preparedness.》
○Muroga Rokugōrō (ko-bushin rank, Ogawa-chō) had his residence, tenements, and storehouses completely collapse without a single building remaining. However, no one in his household died, not even the horses, dogs, and cats. This too was quite mysterious.
○Ōoka Hyōgorō (ō-goban rank, 35 koku stipend) found about twenty small crabs in his personal quarters on the night of the first day of the tenth month. Thinking they were spiders, he drove them out. When they appeared again the following night of the second day, he had a maidservant hold up a candle to look, and seeing they were indeed crabs, he tried to catch them, but they escaped somewhere. He later died instantly in the earthquake, losing three other people as well. Thinking back afterwards, this was surely a portent.

○Tominaga Yoshitarō (yaku rank, Ogawa-chō) had business and was visiting Fusaya Shinsuke in the same area for consultation when the earthquake struck. Greatly alarmed, he hurried home. Meanwhile, the sister of Kasuya Suō-no-kami, an elderly woman who was Yoshitarō's adoptive mother, had fled to the garden with her daughter called Yano-onna. The inner residence collapsed from the south and the storehouse fell from the east, trapping both mother and child beneath. When the master frantically removed the roof tiles and earth to look, he found the mother and child had died holding hands and embracing each other. From the night of the following third day, two ghostly fires burned, and there were rumors that the spirits of the dead appeared in the deep of night.
○Suzuki Shirōzaemon (o-metsuke rank, 1,200 koku, Honjo Itsutsu-me) was in a room examining documents when the earthquake collapsed everything from the entrance to the guest rooms. He sent his son Shirōji to summon his chief retainer, but when the man did not return, he himself started to go out when the storehouse wall
