Cindy: I will appreciate you looking up for me what you have. But this tale rings a bell; I wonder if there could be two similar tales that came up at the time of the witch trials. I'm posting this to the list (not with your letter to me) because others may have more information or be able to help establish if Christian Trask was Christian the daughter of Bridgette. I thought it was one of the girls and young women who had claimed to be bewitched, and I'm pretty sure that such a tale happened to the neighbor of Edward Jr's and Sarah's tavern who had complained to Reverend Hale that the tavern was corrupting the morals of the community besides keeping her awake all night and also got into an altercation with Sarah and thrown shuffleboard pieces into the fire; later tried to recant and make up with the Bishop's, but when it came time to do so was too distraught, and then was found (in jail?) having stabbed herself in the throat with a pair of scissors. Bridget was supposed to have bewitched her, onthe theory that the woman couldn't have made those wounds herself with that pair of scizzors. Too many wounds, wounds too deep, or something. It is pretty clear that I'll soon find out that woman's name. It would be pretty amazing if that woman was Bridget's daughter! To the rest of the list; this concerns Christian Trask, Bridette's daughter. I know for a fact that Bridgette had a daughter named Christian; do people know who she married and what became of her, and also about any controversy on how exactly she was related to Bridgette Bishop (Oliver when she had Christian)? Also, did more than one woman stab herself to death with a pair of scizzors in Salem around the time of the witch trials or else that the matter was brought up then?
