Note 964 — Chapter XV · DIVORCE IN THE AMERICAN COLONIES
Reading edition
Case of Christopher and Elizabeth Lawson: MSS. Early Court Files of Suffolk, No. 913. Though the decree in this case has not been discovered, it is certain that it came before the assistants; for the papers in the proceedings are marked "vera copia E[dward] R[awson] S[ec.]". In the Nailer case, mentioned below, there was similar reference from the county court to the court of assistants.
