      Another miserable couple "rode in sullen silence through the Virginia countryside, until suddenly the colonel turned his carriage . . . straight into Chesapeake Bay." "Where are you going, Mr. Custis?" "To Hell, Madam." "Drive on. Any place is better than Arlington."

      Here's Sarah Harrison Blair, who repeatedly refused to vow to obey her husband James at their marriage ceremony. "Dr. Blair finally agreed to take his chances and the wedding went forward without any promise of obedience. Their married life together proved to be deeply unhappy."pic.twitter.com/j3f4pFLjM2

      Oh cute. Unmarried mothers were whipped bloody in public. If she was a servant, she had to serve another term to compensate her master for time lost to pregnancy, even if he was the father.

      I read most of that diary for a paper I did in college. What a horrible experience. Reading the diary, not college.

          Not really. There's a lot about how many pounds of tobacco various things are worth. But the Diary of William Byrd is mostly a recollection of garbage actions by a garbage man. A moment of contrition here and there, but not nearly enough.

          Pretty sure he wrote it in cipher, and I don't blame him. Can't remember if it was his or another's that had a code for days when he deigned to roger himself.
