"Thomas Granger" on @Wikipedia: "Thomas Graunger or Granger was the first person hanged in the Massachusetts Bay Colony and the first known juvenile to be sentenced to death and executed in the territory of today's United States. He was a servant to Love Brewster, of Duxbury, in the Plymouth Colony of British North America. Graunger, at the age of 16 or 17, was convicted of "buggery with a mare, a cow, two goats, divers sheepe, two calves, and a turkey", according to court records of 7 September 1642." @Curionic
