Spencer Cowper was accused of murdering a Quaker & his brother William had two illegitimate children by his second wife. Their scandalous lives became the source of public gossip much to the horror of their mother Sarah who poured out her heart in a diary that also chronicles her feeling of being enslaved to her husb&.
