Hannah Ocuish--The Novel Coming Soon!

Hannah Ocuish is not a name that most people have heard of. When the question is asked, who is the youngest person executed in the United States, many think of George Stinney. He was fourteen when he was put to death in the state of South Carolina for the crime of murder.

But those people are wrong. Hannah Ocuish, a mulato girl, was put to death December 20, 1786 for the murder of six year old Eunice Bolles.

Not much is known about her life, but using historical texts and research, I have pieced together a fictional account of the last days of Hannah Ocuish.

Stay tuned for more details of, "Hannah: A Fictional Account of The Youngest Person Executed in the United States"
