Narrative of the Case of Daniel Perreau and Mrs Rudd
The document recounts in April 1770 how Mrs Rudd later Mrs Gore sought protection from Perreau as her husband began pursuing her. He aided her, moved her to new lodgings, and later housed her as his wife, while she told of relatives in Ireland and Scotland. The narrative traces Mr Adair’s alleged schemes to gain control of her and her children, the debauched husband, and a web of letters, money promises, and suspected coercion spanning 1772 to 1774, with Perreau’s increasing unease and entanglement.
