    1. [MDX] Bigamy of Thomas BUTTERS. ( 1790 )
    2. >From The Times ( London, England ), Thursday, Jul 08, 1790; pg.3; Issue 1728. BIGAMY. Thomas BUTTERS was indicted for feloniously marrying a second wife while the first was still living, and resident within the kingdom. It was clearly proved, that the prisoner was married to Susanah PROVET, on 25th May 1788, at St.George's Hanover Square, and that he was married to Eleanor JEMMETT, in January 1718, at St. George's Bloomsbury. A witness saw his first wife about six weeks ago. Guilty. NOT connected to our research. Although this has been typed exactly as the newspaper reports, the age of Thomas BUTTERS in 1790 would have been very advanced if the date of his marriage to Eleanor JEMMETT is correct.
