Notes
a. Note:   Coroner's Inquest on Samuel Nash.
  "May 23 1668. A Jury of twelve men was summoned by the Constable of Hadley to enquire concerning the sudden and untimely death of Samuel, son, of Timothy Nash.
  The child was about 9 or 10 years old. Mr. Henry Clark and Andrew Bacon gave the jury their oath. They, after dilligent search respecting the cause of this death, did find:--'That said boy coming riding upon a mare from pasture, having a long rope fastened about the mare's neck, & fastened about the boy's waist, a dog coming out, frightened the mare, so that the mare threw the boy & ran away with him, dragging him about 40 rods, and broke over five rails, the rails being broken down, he was dragged over them into and through a narrow gate, into his father's yard, and died forthwith.'
  [Signed by 12 Hadley men.] "Att a County Corte holden at Northampton ye 30th day of ye 1st Month 1669 [March 30, 1669.]
  "Tymothy Nash of Hadley prsenting a complaynt this winter before ye worshipfull Capt. Pynchon agt Mr Goodwin concerning the untimely death of his child ye last summer, and the sde Capt Pynchon by warrant under his hand dated Feb. 27--68 warning the sde Mr Goodwing to appeare at this Corte, he being very weake m body & not able to attend ye Corte in his own person, Mr Andrew Bacon and William Lewis appeared to answer on his behalfe. And now at this Corte the sde Timothy Nash prsented his complt in that his child, a member of this common Wealth is lost; and that as he apprhends by means of Mr. Goodwins dog frightening the mare upon which the child rode shee throwing the child.
  The Corte having heard ye case long debated & considered ye allegations & evidences on all hands doe conceive & judge yt there is not ground to lay such blame on Mr. Goodwin as is prtended in the sde Timothy Nash his complt, for ye it doth not appeare yt Mr Goodwin or Mris Goodwin had sufficient notice given them of their dogs curstness or any due warning to restrayne their dog; and therefore the Corte doth acquitt them, as to have such legall warning as aforesaid; But yet inasmuch as it appeares that the sde dog was something more than ordinary active in running after p sons riding their horses in ye street whereby diverse p sons have had falls from their horses. This Corte doth apprhend that Mr Goodwin or Mris Goodwin might probably know something yt way, and Mr Crow who exercised care about Mr Goodwin's affaires: And therefore yt they may be blame worthy in not taking care as they ought, to have restraynd that dog. And therefore this Corte doth beare witness agt all neglects in such matters whereby the lives of p sons may be hazzarded. Also ye Corte apprhends that the said dog hath been partly an occasion of the death of the said child, though yet divers other things did concur to yt sad accident, but specially the child's winding a rope about its own wast ye other end whereof was tyed about ye mare's neck, & the child having nothing whereby he might well rule her yt when shee threw ye child, shee dragged him after her to its destruction.
  Wherefore the Corte also accounteth Goodm. Nash or his Wife blame worthy in not haveing a more strict watch over their son, but letting him go to fetch ye mare from pasture with such meane tackling. And there being much trouble in hearing this case, the Corte ordered yt Mr Goodwin and Goodman Nash shall pay 10� [--?--] apiece towards defraying Corte charges."
  It may not be amiss to observe in relation to the foregoing trial and decision, that the Mr. Goodwin here spoken of, was the same Elder Goodwin that was the leader of one party in the church dilliculties at Hartford, and that Mrs. Nash, the mother of the boy that was killed, was a daughter of the Rev. Samuel Stone, the principal or leading man of the opposing party. And it is quite possible this circumstance may have had some influence in the prosecution of the affair.
  The decision of the Court obviously turned on a legal quibble, viz., the want of legal notice, while the court allowed that Mr. Goodwin probably knew of his dog's curstness. And well they might, if diverse persons had been thrown from their horses, endangering their lives! The decision may be deemed at least a legal curiosity.
