There are no charges to you, as things like this are paid for through the library's budget. I live in MI & my library was able to get a book I was looking for from a library in ID!

I hope she is at piece and I'm sure the father got the fricking house. Goes to show even in the early 1800's family meddle in affairs and try to profit.

I'm not justifying anything, I am just trying to get closer to the truth. I have listed my sources so you can check them yourself. Most now believe that Frankie acted in self defense. If so, then she probably should not have been hanged.

Using the same very wood that he had cut up for her while he was away hunting? Let me tell you this.. She had enough wood to burn a whole body up with exception of entrails. This was a HANEOUS ACT.. and what made it worse was the fact she had tried to cover it up. <br /><br />ANY attempt to make her look like a poor beaten lil slight woman she was is a bunch of hear say. There were no factual proof of him ever being ugly to her. Nothing but rumors and speculation. The man was hacked to death and done away with in such an ugly fashion she was right to be hung.. What if this was YOUR son or family member she did this to? I am one of his family members.

In my opinion, I think that it's somewhat true because later on in time, there was a witch (my great-great grandmother) who did kill someone and abused my great grandfather who then abused my Nana. My Uncle was just recently murdered by his wife also. Reading other's comments, I do have pictures of David himself. I also have another of his daughter, Rhetta, who was my 3rd great grandmother and her children.
