I have David C. Brown's book, and it is excellent! I bought it in Salem, either at the visitor's center, or at a gift shop. It was well worth the reasonable price! -Tamara --- Margo Burns <margo@ogram.org> wrote: > David > C. Brown's "A Guide to the Salem Witchcraft Hysteria > of 1692."

I have a good puzzle for you all. I have not been able to find any parentage information on Anne Putnam, Sr., who was born Anne Carr. Seems to me I read somewhere that there isn't any information about her family, but I am not sure that is right. I have documented myself back to a Robert Carr, who married Abigail Waters Jones. They lived in Hillsborough county, NH. Where it gets interesting is that I have some information that says that Robert's father was: Thomas Carr b. 5 Aug 1725, Haverill, Essex, MA d. 22 Apr 1797, Antrim, Hillsborough, NH married 1747 (don't know where) to: Hannah ? b. 29 Jan 1728/9, Litchfield, Hillsborough, NH d. 8 Apr 1817, Hillsborough, Hillsborough, NH What I am thinking is that if I can find a record for this Thomas Carr to have been born in Haverill, the chances of him being related to Ann (Carr) Putnam, Sr. is pretty good. I have not been able to find any information on Anne Carr either, but I would settle for birth/parent information on Thomas Carr and Hannah. The other thing that makes me think there could be a connection here is that Robert and Abigail's son Robert married a woman named Claora Goodell (in New Hampshire), who was most definitely descended from Isaac Goodell who lived in Salem during the time of the trials, and was involved, as was his son before that branch of the Goodell/Goodale family moved to Hillsborough County, NH. Since we had been talking about the migration of families after the tragedy, it got me thinking. Can anyone help? Thanks! -Tamara __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
