    • 3 Jul 1660 Court Case:

      James Harmon is charged with stabbing and cutting his father-in-law, Edward Clarke, and for often swearing and being drunk. He is sentenced to 20 lashes on his bare back for his incorrigibleness and must give a bond for good behavior. Harman must have made reckless comments because the Court issued this ruling. Whereas Harmon’s suspicious words and manner before the Court seem to declare his intentions to depart speedily out of the country and whose estate lies in the hands of Stephen Babson and others, the want of the use of this estate may tend much to the prejudice of his wife and child. It is ordered that Edward Clark, father of the wife of Harmon, has power given him to sequester Harmon’s estate lying in the hands of Stephen or John Babson or others to the value of 60£ for the security of Sarah Harmon and her child.

      30 Jun 1656 Court Case:
      In John Harmon v. John Snelling for debt, the verdict was for the defendant. In Richard Hitchcock v. James Harmon for action on an engagement made by him in John Snelling’s behalf, the verdict was for the plaintiff. John is charged with suspicion of incontinency with Mary Clay. An act of separation is decreed with a forfeit of 10£. John is charged with swearing an oath, and afterwards for swearing two more oaths and fined 30s. Finally, John is charged with contempt of authority and for abusing the officers with unseemly speeches and fined 20s.
