It seems to me that neighborly feuds play a significant roles in moat cases of witchcraft, especially since in most cases, one neighbor is accusing another of doing harm to person or property. When I was reading the accusations against Elixabeth Morse, it struck me just how angry the accusers were. The young men who accused her were just as angry about the fact that she didn't speak to them with the respect they thought they should receive from a woman as they were about sheep dying. I would like to know the name of the book you are talking about. Thanks, Karen (a descendant of Mary)
The book is Currents of Malice, Mary Towne Esty and Her Family in Salem Witchcraft, by Persis W. McMillen, Peter E. Randall Publisher, 1990. Cathy Brinkman Karen wrote: > I would like to know the name of the book you are talking about. > > Thanks, > > Karen (a descendant of Mary)
