For [[Hannah Ocuish]]:

I am looking for three 18th-century (so clearly public ___domain) articles published in the Hartford (Conn.) ''Courant'' about the case of Hannah Ocuish, a twelve-year-old girl who was hanged for murder in Connecticut on December 20, 1786. Ocuish is believed to be the youngest person ever put to death in the United States. These are among the few contemporary accounts I can track down with much accuracy.

I unfortunately don't have the article's names or page numbers (but I think each issue of the newspaper is only four pages), but [https://www.courant.com/news/connecticut/hc-250-hannah-occuish-20140401-story.html this retrospective published in 2014] provides helpful quotations for all three articles.

The first requested article is an account of the crime, published on July 31, 1786 [https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/233733148/]. The 2014 retrospective quotes from this article:

:"The head and body were mangled in a shocking manner, the back and one arm broken, and a number of heavy stones placed on the body, arms and legs," The Courant wrote in a July 31, 1786, story.

The second requested article is apparently an account of Ocuish's trial, published on October 30, 1786 [https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/233735333/]. The 2014 retrospective quotes from this article:

:"You have killed, and that in a barbarous and cruel manner, an innocent, harmless and helpless child — a child that could not possibly, from its tender years, have injured or done you any harm, or given you any just cause of resentment," the judge said. "And in the perpetration of this shocking deed, you have discovered such evidence of premeditated malice, and marks of such a mischievous and guileful discretion, in your attempts of concealment and endeavors to make it have the appearance as though it was the effect of accident, and not of violence."

The third requested article is an account of Ocuish's hanging, published on December 25, 1786 [https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/233736566/ ]. The 2014 retrospective quotes from this article:

:"She seemed greatly afraid when at the gallows, and said but little to anyone," The Courant's Dec. 25, 1786, story read. "She thanked the Sheriff for his kindness, and launched into the eternal world."

(add) There seems to have been a fourth article on the court proceeding, published October 6, 1786, [https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/233734778/], which may also be helpful in editing the article. Unfortunately, I have no quotes or title to help find the exact page; only a citation to the newspaper issue of that date. [[User:TJRC|TJRC]] ([[User talk:TJRC|talk]]) 02:15, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

:{{ping|TJRC}} I've clipped the pieces from the four papers in Newspapers.com:

:*[https://www.newspapers.com/clip/76181603/hannah-occuish/ July 31, 1786, page 3]

:*[https://www.newspapers.com/clip/76181753/hannah-ocuish/ October 30, 1786, page 4]

:*[https://www.newspapers.com/clip/76181805/hannah-ocuish/ December 25, 1786, page 2]

:*[https://www.newspapers.com/clip/76181838/hannah-ocuish/ October 9, 1786, page 3]

:I think I've clipped the first one correctly – the start and finish of the article isn't well demarcated. —[[User:Bruce1ee|Bruce1ee]]^{[[User talk:Bruce1ee|''talk'']]} 07:09, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

::{{ping|Bruce1ee}} that's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks very much! [[User:TJRC|TJRC]] ([[User talk:TJRC|talk]]) 15:16, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

I found a link for the second one that said it was on Jstor, but when I tried to access the link, I got a 404 error. Searching on Jstor returns no hits?
