As the colonies grew and expanded, many towns and cities adopted laws dealing with crime and punishment. Most were based upon Great Britain's legal system. The Pilgrims committed adultery (Hawthorne's ''Scarlet Letter''); the court records indicate there were many accusations of witchcraft and defamation of character. There was domestic violence and it was considered a crime to abuse a parent. Since the Pilgrims enjoyed a drink of alcohol now and then, there were probably fights and theft, resulting in punishment. According to a timeline on the HistoryNet, in 1630, John Billington, one of the original Pilgrims who came over on the Mayflower, became the first person in the American colonies hanged for murder.
