(Transcriber's note: The date on this document is difficult to interpret. It appears to be either 1826 or 1829 and there is an old notation on it thus "1823?". According to court records, Samuel and Elizabeth were divorced in 1826, and the entry was expunged and reinstated in 1827 after it was found that Samuel did not abuse Elizabeth. I feel that the date of the following bill for services is likely 1826. MCE)
