Individual Details

Martha Hayward

(Abt 1634 - Aft 1700)

Martha was a little bit of a wild thing, at least for the Puritans. On 8 June 1651, "Martha Haward" was one of seven men and women of Plymouth and Duxbury who were presented in Court for "vain, light, and lascivious carriage at an unreasonable time of the night," and on 7 October 1651, she was one of four of that group of seven who were "released, with admonition to take heed of such evil carriages for the future."
