NOTICE
All persons are hereby warned not to credit my wife Rebecca, as I can not afford, and will not pay any debts of her contracting and will always plead this notice in my defence.
Simon Johnson, His Mark X
Cumberland County March 4, 1819
You have to wonder if this ended in a divorce (or if her credit cards were revoked).
