OK here we go. In my database I have an Edward Bishop who had 2 children who both married Symonds in the 1700's. All were from Topsfield. What is interesting is that these Symonds were descendants of the Symonds family who were connected to the Towne family by marriage to Jacob Towne brother of Rebecca, Mary and Sarah Towne - all accused witches. Other members of the Symonds family married into the Towne family as well. Members of the Wildes families also married into the Towne family. Sounds like one hotbed of intermarriages among the 'witchcraft' families!
