SYLVIA WHEATON, wife of Lewis Wheaton, of Rehobeth, in said county of Bristol. Gentlemen, propounds, alledges and declares, that promising herself support and happiness in the married state, the on the eleventh day of December A.D. 1788 intermarried with the said Lewis Wheaton; and from that time to the present has uniformly conducted and demeaned herself as a faithful, prudent, affectionate and tender wife; and in no one instance violated her marriage covenants,
Yet the said Lewis Wheaton on his part, disregarding his solemn engagements, in divers ways and manners has violated his marriage covenants; he has absented himself from your libellant to a distant part of the United States, to wit, to Charleston, S. Carolina, ever since the second day of November, A.D. 1803. and totally neglected to provide any support for her or her family, though consisting of herself and seven small children, the pledges of their former mutual affection the oldest of whom is but thirteen years of age.
Your libellant further alledges that the said Lewis Wheaton, since his leaving her as aforesaid, at said Charleston, has lived in open and gross acts of lewdness cohabited with lewd women and committed the crime of adultery; whereby all affestion formerly subsisting is totally destroyed; and she sees no prospect of his ever being reclaimed or that she can ever enjoy any further happiness in the connexion.
She therefore humbly prays your Honors to pass a decree of Divorce, rendering null and void the bands of matrimony existing between her and her said husband, and assign her such alimony as your Honors may deem mete and right.
And as in duty bound will ever pray, & c.
