I was disturbed by the hanging so I contacted the New Haven Historical Society requesting court transcripts which I received in my email. After reading the transcripts I am convinced he was guilty as charged. Disturbing as it is I seriously doubt any man woman or child would admit to having sex with, not one, but two pigs if it were not so.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118266209260140656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769958914386145384.post-74767562020206966982021-04-22T16:57:53.507-07:002021-04-22T16:57:53.507-07:00Thanks for the update!

Of course we’re were all shocked and shaking our heads. Beastie lift is not exactly what one expects to find in one’s family. But, when I learned it was his son who turned him in I was saddened. How terrible for this man. I also think, after reading the original article in which I learned this news that contained the stories of others in this time period who suffered the same fate, that accusing one of beastialty was a bit like accusing a woman of witchcraft. It could be done because of a grudge or even just because a woman was cranky. I think the circumstances point to the possibility of family accusing him for retribution about the will.

I've been a big fan of hers since reading "Warriors for a Working Day" by Brian Dooley which contain many of her Civil War letters. Also, her husband Samuel Orlando Parks had also been her uncle by marriage. She broke up with a suitor and married him though he was 20 years older after he was widowed from her mother's sister.
