He said his wife was distempered in her head and she had gone home to her father Poor. When they asked him how he knew, he said he found she had gone for he had looked in the barn, and they asked if he had looked in the chamber or cellar and he said he had. Sworn in court.


John Trumble, aged thirty-six years, deposed that he ate at the same table with John Jackson, "and he did eat after all others had done and not only soe but did lick the erombbs left upon another mans trencher: to my sham - 20 persons looking on though of this and all other of his foolish tricks I neuar could perseav he was att all ashamed all which saith to me seurly he hath not the ueas of his reason as other men."

De- ponent said he thought that most needful, the weather being so extreme, and asked him what his friends would think if his wife should do any other than well. He said what cared he what any other of them said, he scorned to look after her any more, for he said he intended to go out to service. Then deponent asked who should maintain his wife and child, for deponent understood that they were not to go out to service while they were living. He told him to be gone, not to stand prating about his business. So deponent left him and went to look for her, stopping at her brother John Poor's and her father Poor's but they had not seen her. So her brothers John and Henry Poor and the neighbors at the Neck went
