--------------------------------------------------------

Susanna's second husband, Mr. John Hastings

Mr. Hastings, with consent and agreement, had prior to this time given our estate to Mr. Stephen Hasham, who married our only daughter. In consequences of which, my life and living were so immediately under his control that my situation was rendered very unhappy. But a respect for the feeling of the surviving relatives will prevent my going into a detail of my sufferings, while under Mr. Hasham's roof; which I considering the different treatment I had a right to expect, under the care and protection of a son-in-law, I sometimes found almost as painful to be borne, as my savage captivity. In the spring of 1803, Susanna made know to her daughter, Captive of her unhappy situation, as did her husband. She by the consent of her husband, and the advise of some respectable friends, procured a home at Mr. Jonathan Baker;s whose wife was a daughter ot my daughter Wetherbee. Boy that son-in-law sounds like a beaut. Later Mr. Hasham was made to make settlement with Susanna, in which she was to receive rents of certain pieces of land yearly, to continue her natural life, which would be sufficient to support her confortable.
