Petition #21282403

Abstract

Sarah Oneel seeks a divorce and alimony from her husband William Oneel, who, she contends, has abused her and mistreated her for many years. Not only did he beat and threaten to kill her, but in 1822 he took away their only child, a four-year-old daughter. Now he is "living in a vile & infamous state of adultery with a black woman whom he purchased for the purpose of keeping as his mistress."
