    1. [SALEM-WITCH-L] Who did John Wilde turn in
    2. I show that John Wilde turned in his brother-in-law for treason (John Gould) not his father -in-law (Priscilla Gould's father) Priscilla's sister Mary (Maria) lived next door to John Wilde and carried a grudge for years and in 1686 had spread rumors that Sarah (John Wilde's wife after Priscilla died) was a witch. The two husbands Redington and Wilde settled the problem, but the rumors continued once they had started. If you think this is strange calling other people a witch seemed to be a favorite pastime in those centuries. Carol
