Confessing that "she is in verry indigent circumstances, having no slaves or any one else to work for her," she prays "your honourable body to take her case into consideration and grant her relief & a seperation from the said Thomas Stone, by a divorce from the bonds of matrimony."
Result: Referred to committee on divorces: reported "unreasonable".
