Whereas Rachel my wife, hath several times left me contrary to my will and hath been received back again, and now she hath again eloped my bed and board, without any provocation. This is to forbid any persons harboring or trusting her on my account, as I solomnly declare I will not pay one farthing, contracted by her on my account, from this day forward. Jonathan Beckwith. April 3, 1783.
