Youthful Slave and Salem Overseers of the Poor
A Salem case details a 14 year old girl named Mary Murphy beaten and starved by drunken parents, then passed from almshouse to Ipswich and back. She was later bound to Mrs Farwell in Saxonville, who runs a millinery shop and forced her to heavy labor, raising questions about pauper status and overseers duties.
