"Rebecca Hawkins suffered physical abuse from her husband for as long as she could. In the late 1830s she was illiterate, the mother of eight children, and without property in her own name. Her life of abuse began sometime after her marriage to Williamson Hawkins before 1820. She ended his beatings in 1838 when she hired neighbor Henry Garster to murder Williamson." --book jacket.
