Bea, Is your Samuel Elwell related to Thomas Elwell who married Sarah Bassett, the daughter of William Bassett and Sarah Burt? William and Sarah Burt Bassett had William Bassett who married Sarah Hood. Sarah Hood Bassett was also accused of being a witch. William and Sarah Burt Bassett also had Elizabeth who married John Proctor and was in prison. She was not killed because she was pregnant.
