Hi Everyone, Since we are doing a check of things, I will pick your brains a little. I was looking at a book called "Some Ancestral lines-a record of some of the ancestors of Guilford Solon Tingley and his wife, Martha Pamelia Meyers" Rutland, Vt. 1935 written by their son Raymón Meyers Tingley. In there it stated that Mary, wife of John Osborne , parents of Patience Osborn, was indited for murdering her child but acquitted, then fined by the court for giving QICKSILVER to her husband. My question is, what is quicksilver and was she trying to poison her husband? this is the first reference I have seen to this...

Hi Fran - Quicksilver is mercury, so yes, I guess she was trying to do him in.
