Biography

Imprisoned by Bishop Wilson for adultery in 1715. Her husband appealed to the Governor, and the resulting jurisdictional dispute between ecclesiastical and civil courts echoed for years. In 1718 the Governor fined Wilson ten pounds 'for disobedience and contempt of the prerogative of the lord of the Isle.' Wilson paid the fine and carried on.
