On this date in 1774, Peter Galwin and John Taylor were hanged together in Burlington in New Jersey.
Galwin was the principal of a small school in Northampton Township with a hankering for prepubescent children. According to court documents, Galwin raped or attempted to rape four young girls on four separate occasions in July and August 1774: Ann Prosser, Hope Reeves, Sarah Deacon and Ann Jones, all of them “infants under the age of ten years.”
The assault caused “great damage” to Ann Jones in particular. Whether or not the victims were his students is not known.
The crimes of John Taylor, alias John Philip Snyder, were still more exotic.
An itinerant farmhand, he allegedly stole money, “two items of female intimate apparel” and other items from his employer, a widow named Orpha Emlay, on August 13, 1774. She suspected him of the theft but lacked proof, so she decided to spy on him....

We need to find the will/stomach to do what’s necessary to bring justice to today’s sickos..
Understandably, public outrage against both offenders ran high in the community. Hearn notes that guards had to “prevent enraged onlookers from tearing both men apart before they reached the gallows.”
I rather enjoyed the use of the word “infant” to describe under 10 y/o.
Innocents works,too.
It appears that ExecutedToday has gone woke.
Go read the account of Hannah Ocuish.
Do you mean the aside about the youngest executes being non-white children? Since there’s a footnote correction about the Cherokee boy who was executed as a grown man, it’s puzzling they have not fully corrected the piece. They dispute their own premise as he wasn’t 10yo when executed yet they keep that false information in there.
ET has always been a bit woke.
I don’t always like the slant of some of the articles.
Unfortunately, I have to avoid posting some due to such a slant when the history discussed in them and the things I did not know are rather interesting.
But it is what it is.
There is no conservative version of ET.
During the 1700s a 7 yo boy was hanged in England... age meant nothing ...
I had not noticed this wokery before.
Will read with a jaundiced eye from now on.
Yup, I had to look:
“She wound up getting more than just an eyeful on the afternoon of October 2, 1774. It was then that the wary woman peeked into her barn and saw Taylor committing an act of gross indecency with a cow. Appalled, Emlay presumably let out a shriek because Taylor heard her. The naked pervert chased her down while brandishing a knife and a hammer. He smashed Emlay’s skull and slit her throat from ear to ear.”
Well, that’s a lot more than buggering Elsie. He murdered that woman.
No doubt the enraged onlookers were 18th Century Freepers.
