Florence

Other Events and Attributes:

• History: 1654; She gossiped that the wife of John Parker was smitten with Richard Banks. She was taken to court for slander, and being on probation for a prior offense, was sentenced "to reeave tenn lashes on the bare skine" or pay £10. It appears that all she paid was 5/ as the officer's fee, and was let off. Possibly she was lashed, but if so, there is no record of the punishment having been carried out.
• Moved to: 1661, Kittery, York County, Maine; Robert and Florence removed to Kittery, settling on the land of Capt. Walter Barefoot without his permission.
• Residence: 1690, Kittery, York County, Maine; She was living at the home of Anne Crockett, her board being partly paid by Joshua Downing, Florence being the grandmother of Joshua's wife. At that time she was known as Gamar Edge.
