North-Guilford, O&cber 14, 1782.
WHEREAS I fee in the weekly Intelligencer, an adver
tisement signed by Noadiah Burr, jun. advertiGng
me as his wife, of several times leaving him, contrary to
his will, and of having been received back again, and now
by the aflißance of my father Rowel.and other relations,
killed and ditpoled of a fat Cow, without his knowledge.
Lealt the world should be led into a mistake, refpe&ipg my
conduct in regard to my husband, I publish the following
fads as a truth, though I were to die this moment
I was married to the said Naadiah Burr, jun. and went
to live with him in his fathers family, which was very nu
merous and in a fmail hoafe —Soon afterl came to live
with my husband, his father set up force laws, one of which
was, I should not cook, nor eat with my husband, which I
took very hard, as be being the closest connexion of life,
and if this comfort was loft, my hopes of living wasac
an end. I repeatedly solicited him to procure a hoafe ata
distance, that we might enjoy the sweet comforts of a mar
riage Rate ; but his father refufed any such thing, hat I
mud live in his family or else leave my hulband-— I tried
every method to please the family, but to no eff< &, I mult
leave my husband or be drove into the chamber and there shut
up, till they fee cause to let me out, or drove into the chim
ney corner, and there Surrounded by a ruffin crew of giris,
and wait their motion for my relief; if l hung on my dish
kettle, it was often took off by the family, and I not allow
ed to put it on again—l was kick'd about like a dog, and
threatened to be beat, and even my life was at last indan
gered by the family, proposing to fix a dose which should
put an end to it---I then went to my father Rowel's heufe,
who sent me back, but I could not live there long before I
fee I must be starved to death, or bear the greatest insults
from the family, which human nature could not induie ; I
then being with child, determined to leave my husband, un
til! after my sickness, and again went to my father Rowels
who being poor yet received me—l applied to my husband
for my bed and wearing eloaths, but his father would not
let him deliver them to me ; through my sickness I fuffered
much, and after my recovery I again desired my bed and
cloaths, which I took with me when I went to live with him,
but they were refufed, and I now have no change of cloaths
nor no bed for my two children to lie on, but a blanket sew
ed up and filled with hay, thus I have lived this several
months—l de fired the deacons ofthe parish and others to talk
with my husband and the family, that we might have a hear
ing of our difficulty openly, but it was refufed; my life is
threatened if I return to my husband, unless at the refque of
my life I dirlt not, all polfole pains I have taken for a re
conciliation, burto no effed, they would not give me the
least fuppoTt for myfelf nor children, thus I have lived till
now; they dried up my cow and fatted her, the approach
ing winter coming on, I was advised to take my cow and
kill her, which I have done to save my life and my childrens.
I should nowbe glad co live with my husband if we could
have a separate house, and believe we might live together
peaceably, if his fathers family would let us alone, but so
long as they govern him, we cannot-—I have received the
greatest insults from them that human nature can put up
with, and I am not a going to e xcufe myfelf, when 1 have
been thus abused I have done that which a cool temper
would not admit of.—lt has been an old faying, tread on a
worm and he will turn ; here I have stated fads which can
not be denied, and could state many more— As to his ad
vertising Thomas Shepard as being a butcher, I leave it to
the public to judge which is the most expert, either one to
butcher a cow, or for old Noadtah Burr to butcher a whole
family, and an innocent chara&er>
