Hannah COWMEADOW 1816 (General)

Thanks Slowhands for the extra snippets of information.

Hahhah would only be around 13 then when she was sentenced to prison for stealing peas. No doubt the family were hungry.

In 1840 when she was sentenced again for stealing potatoes she had a 3 year old illegitimate daughter to care for. I wonder if she was already living with Barzillai at that time or whether she moved in and he took care of her afterwards.

The Cowmeadows seem a pretty lawless family as she had two brothers who were Highway robbers.
