Notes
General:
Hannah's murder by Amaziah:
"We hear from Eastham on Cape Cod, That the beginning of last Week, a most barbarous Murder was committed there, on the body of one Mrs. Harding, suppos'd to be done by her own Husband Amaziah Harding; he having for a great while before, as 'tis said, carried it very ill towards her, to the imparing of her Reason; and now being found in the Room alone with her, where she lay dead near him, with her Neck twisted and broke, and about her Mouth and Throat much beat and bruis'd. The hard-hearted Man being thus surpriz'd, and charg'd with the Fact, by those who first discover'd it, endeavoured to put an end to his own Life, by stabing a Knife into his Bowels, which stroke not proving mortal immediately, he went to repeat it, aiming at his Breast, but was prevented by those about him, and on Friday last he was sent to Barnstable Goal." - Boston Weekly News-Letter for 19-26 July 1733
Amaziah's execution:
"We hear from Barnstable, That _____ Harding, a Man of about 70 Years of Age, was Executed there on Wednesday the 5th Instant, for the murder of his Wife. 'Tis said, he deny'd the Fact to the last." - Boston Weekly News-Letter for 6-13 June 1734, 2nd page

" After raising nine childern and forty years of marriage at the age of 63, Amaziah killed his wife, Hannah Rogers. The original Barnstable court records of the trail were destroyed in a fire, but copy of the deposition made by Mary Freeman survived in the Massachusetts Archives. From this deposition we have hand account by a witness who came to see Amaziah within the hour of Hannah Rogers' death.
From STC Vol. 259; Doc#37237 p.55, Deposition by Mary Freeman and Hannah Freeman.
" Mary Freeman of Lawful age to give Evidence testifies[Information?] came hastily on or about the eighteen day of July 1733 and informed me that my neighbor Maziah Harding's wife was Dead it being something surprising to me to hear so for I was informed by his son Cornelis less than one hour before that shee was well & in health, whereupon I went immediately with my daughter in law Hannah Freeman to sd Maziah Harding's house & when I came ther I met with sd Maziah Harding at the Door of his house.I then ask him if his wife was Dead. He answered yes & he was glad of it, whereupon I went in to sd Harding's house & there I saw his wife's body lay on a bed wrapped up in bed clothes & I looked on her I saw a [proof?]on her cheek & on her throth & lip that the blood was jelled which seemed to me to be occasioned by some bruise or hurt. Then I asked sd Harding how his wife came so suddenly to her end, whether he took notice shee had not been well. He answered shee was well as shee used to be for ought hee knew & he sd shee had drunk her fill of Rum and sat on the Door sill & he laid on the bed & fell asleep & when he awoke he called for her but shee gave him no answer. Then he rose and went into the other room and found her dead on the bed. I took notice that sd Harding was in a strange fram and seemed to be disguised with drink and often Repeated thse words [ to wit?.]. Harding is a man shirt or no shirt every inch of him & he often Declared he was glad his wife was dead. I reproved him and tould him I was sorry to hear him say so & asked him why he was glad of it &sd Harding replyed & sd because shee had been a Plague to him him for above these twenty years past & he hoped now he should git somebody to keep his house & look after his things and many such like expressions & sd Harding further sd his wife was now gone to paradise among the Royal breed & would be clothed in Robes of glory and many such like expressions, & then sd Harding was very urgent with me to help clean linen to bury his wife in & he would help me to do it urging shee might be buried with all speed fore he sd shee was cover with lice, Rags & dirt. I told him I would not meddle with her nor advise any others till a Jurie had pass upon her. Whereupon the sd Harding replied & sd a jurie, then sd he there will arise a Cursed Damnd Mobb & seemed to bee then something surprised & uneasy & [disembled?] and sd there was no occasion of a jurie for others he named had died suddenly & no Jurie on them. Then I told him there was not the like occasion of Jurie for others he named had died when several were present. Then he seened to be more restless in his mind & sd this is the fruite of mens wifes taking their Neighbours parts against their husbands which has brought it to this & uttered many sensurious reflections on his neighbors."
