Notes
General:
Seh was murdered by her brother, in a psychotic rage, with an axe.
Sarah was a flirt, repeatedly in trouble for making out. In 1660, Wiliam Tuttle Sarah's father complained against Sarah and Jacob Murline for making out on a chest. The law provided for a fine against anyone who drew the attentions of a maid or maid servant without the permission of her parents or guardians. "Mr. Tutle pleaded that Jacob had endeavored to steal away his daughter's affections." The governor reported that Sarah had flirted and made out with Jacob in his house at a wedding. The court fined either ofthem 20 shillings, characterized their behavior as sinful and evil and Sarah's as bold, ordered both of them to mend their ways, and ordered Jacob to stay awy from virgins. It seems Sarah's mother had told her not to keep company with him.
