Among these indictments, there is one brought by the Grand Jury on November 24，1789，and reading as follows：

“Lucy Hanks for fornication.”

This wasn't Lucy's first offense. The first had been years before, back in Virginia.

That was a long time ago, and the old records are meager：they give only a few bare facts and no setting for the facts. From them and from other sources, however, a probable story can be reconstructed.The essential elements, at any rate, are well established.
