    1. Re: [SALEM-WITCH-L] Devil Discovered by Enders
    2. Charles, There is quite a bit of information about the Jacobs clan. There is a list of George Jacobs, Sr.'s property seized by Sheriff George Corwin. I read what you had on your website. Your website stated that Rebecca, wife of George Jacobs, Jr., with her husband. According to Robinson's book, she was imprisoned and remained in prison for 11 months. She was supposedly "not right in the head" or "crazed," and had been for about 12 years before her imprisonment. A two-year old daughter had died of drowning, for which she blamed herself. Robinson's book states that the Jacobs family was an important target for the "conspiracy." They had ties to the Porter family, and were very involved in the affairs of Salem Town. The book has information on George Jacobs, Sr., George Jacobs, Jr., Margaret Jacobs, Daniel Andrew (brother to Rebecca, wife of George, Jr., Rebecca (Andrew) Frost Jacobs, and Sarah Churchill (servant and accuser of George, Sr.). If you would like to send me your snail mail address privately, I would be happy to send you copies of the pages that pertain to the Jacobs family.

I have the 'Devil in Massachusetts' by Marion Starkey and' A Delusion of Satan' by Frances Hill. If anybody is interested there are some genealogy lines descending from George Jacobs on the George Jacobs webpage.
