    To the Honorable the Superior Court to be held in
    Hartford in and
    for the County of Hartford on the second
    Tuesday of February Anno Domini
    1792

    The Petition of Susannah Whiting of Hartford
    in said county
    humbly speaketh

    That on the 25th day of March, AD 1784, she was married
    unto
    Elisha Whiting then of said Hartford, that the said
    Elisha more than
    three years since, for reasons un
    known, willfully deserted the Petitioner
    and his children in
    a suffering condition, that he hath ever since
    con
    continued to abscond in parts unknown, without
    ever informing where he
    may be found, or affording the
    Petitioner the least means of support, that
    she
    hath ever since by every possible exertion, just
    for said means, with
    the assistance of her Chari
    table Friends to prevent any further
    charges.

    That she hath every reason to believe
    from credible reports
    and letters written by the said
    Elisha to Strangers, that he is married
    again
    in some of the Southern States without
    the least design of returning
    again, or having
    the remotest regard to the Petitioner or his
    children.
    wherefore she humbly prays your Honor's
    gracious considerations
    in the premises
    and to grant her a Bill of Divorce from her mar-
    riage
    contract with the said Elisha and she
    as in duty bound shall ______ . Dated
    at
    Hartford the 14th day of February Anno Domini 1792 MARRIAGE: Also shown as Married Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut, United States.~SEALING_SPOUSE: Also shown as SealSp 20 Oct 1960, SGEOR.

    =========
    !None of these children were christened while the father was living (or at
    home) and only the third was christened at all (in Hartford). The family
    history states that "after the death of the father, the mother apprenticed out
    the son to an old Quaker, from whom he ran away. The 1790 census of Conn. does
    not list either Elisha or Susanna as head of a family. No record of this death
    has been found.
    Susannah married again in 1796 and removed to New York (could there have
    been a divorce, or Elisha left home?)
    In August 1786 Elisha "formerly of Farmington, now of Hartford" for bad
    husbandry and mismanagement was taken under the care of the Selectmen of
    Farmington, but was released when he moved to Hartford.
