I am so unhappy in my last marriage as to inform the public that my wife Mary has privately run me in debt at many places, and has absented herself from my bed and board, and carried off with her all she bro't with her, and thirty pounds or upwards of my estate. And as I am apprehensive she intends to run me more in debt, therefore I forbid all persons trading with her, or entertaining her upon my credit, for I will not pay any debt contracted by her. Dated in Goshen, in Litchfield County, July 28th, 1771. SAMUEL PETTIBONE.
