Farmington Sept. cpb.
This is to notify the Public,
That, whereas Samuel Gridley hath seen cause to
post me the fubferiber, and forbid any person’s har
bouring or entertaining me, and further, has tried
to ruin my Character, by faying that I have spent
his Estate, and refufed to bed and board with him,
therefore I think it my duty to vindicate my cha
racter, and lay the truth open to the public, by
giving a fliort account of his conduft towards me
since marriage. In the firft place, when I took him
into my house, I had a family of three children,
who were able to v do business; within three months
he began to find fault with my children, which I
put out for the fake of peace ; after which he lived
with me about seven months, and then left my
house about eight months, without giving any
notice when or where he was going ; he then re
turned home again with the lame uneasy temper
as before; but soon left home again, and that was
his manner of life for five or fix years, during which
time I was obliged to provide for myfelf by work
ing at day labour; nor did he ever bring any of
his interest for my support, and since, he leafed
out my thirds of the house, and has taken a family
into it, and locked me out, and told me to be miff
ing ; for which, and other reasons, I am afraid to
live with him ; but shall submit to the judgment
of the impartial'public, whether it be my duty to
live with my husband asfuch, in continual fear of
my life. He has'likewife taken from me my bed
and clothes, and other valuables; whereby he has
disabled me from keeping house: And for want
of my bed, I have lain many nights on the floor.

ried this Catherine in February, 1767, and within
three months file left my bed, and fhew’d a great
disposition for rebellion, and told her children not
to mind me, and in eight months my goods and
ftockwere all attached for her debts ; and finally,
after a second attachment I came to an arbitration,
audit took almost all we had to pay her children.
Soon after, my wife kept unseasonable hours with
another man, as firft came to light by herown lifter.
