BIOGRAPHY: In March of 1655, Obadiah Miller complained in court that Joane, his wife, abused him with reproachful terms or names as calling him fool, toad, vermine, and threatening him; also she fell upon him and beat him and scratched his hands and face. John Lamb testified that he heard her say she would knock him on the head and she did often call him fool and other reproachful terms; Thomas Miller testified that when his brother, Obadiah, and his wife lived with him he often heard her call him names and she said she did not love him; but she hated him. For her vile behavior towards her husband she was taken forth to the whipping post to receive so many stripes on the naked body as the commissioners should see cause to inflict upon her. She was brought forth, but made earnest protestations for better carriage toward her husband and so the punishment was remitted but she was told that for the least miscarriage toward Obadiah she should be brought forth again to receive a good whipping on the naked body. In 1692, Samuel Barnard (prentice to Obadiah Miller) was in court for throwing stones at glass windows. He denied it and was admonished and discharged.

IV. References to land dealings
In the 34 references to land dealings involving women in the first four volumes of the Plymouth Colony Court Records, the vast majority of the women mentioned are widows. Most references involve a grant or transfer of ownership of land (PCR 2:26 and PCR 1:40-41). In these cases, as before, widows have control over land and its use as allowed by their vaguely defined gender roles. The few references involving land that mentioned married women invariably mention their husbands, who had control over the land and its use as well (PCR 2:6).
However, even widows were not always allowed full rights or responsibilities concerning the disposal of land. For example, Jone Miller had to ask permission of the court to sell land from her recently deceased husband's estate for the benefit of their daughter (PCR 4:4-7). Even though Jone Miller was probably not the executrix of her husband's will, and did not have full control over his property, as a widow, she should have been allowed to dispose of it as she saw fit. In the end, the court allowed her to sell the land, but only for "the releife of her said daughter," and not for her own benefit.

John Lambe testifyed he heard her say shee would knock him on the head; and that shee did often call him foole and other reproachfull tearmes. Thomas Miller testifyed that when his brother Obadiah and his wife lived with him, she did comonly call him foole and vermine and he doth not remember he ever heard her call him husband and that she said shee did not love him but hated him; yea shee here said shee did never love him and shee should never love him. For which her vile misbehaviour towards her husband shee was adjudged to be taken forth to the whippinge post; there to receive soe many stripes on the naked body as the commissioners should see cause to inflict on her; whereuppon shee was brought forth; but by her humiliation and earnest protestations for better carriage towards her said husband the punishment was remitted and this sentence passed, that for the least miscarriage to her husband after this tyme shee should be brought forth agayne to receive a good whipping on the naked body well laid on".
