The Salem witch trials are more a tale of greed. There were those that had settled and prospered, then others that came along later or had not done as well.  The second group wanted the well-situated land of the first. Years later the young girls confessed that their original plan had been to get even with a third girl who "stole a boyfriend".  It was the father of one of them that hatched the idea of using the charges of witchcraft to acquire good fertile land.   Re, your co-worker:  It is fascinating the stories we learn of our ancestors.   Jo === Chahta Ohoyo Holahta, Honorary --- On Mon, 8/24/09, Tammy <owentk@gmail.com> wrote: From: Tammy <owentk@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [TXGEN] Executions Link To: txgen@rootsweb.com Date: Monday, August 24, 2009, 1:29 PM JO That's interesting I didn't my coworkers family tree and his ancestor was one of the judges at the witch trials On Sat, Aug 22, 2009 at 9:44 AM, Jo <bjcb@bellsouth.net> wrote: > I'm the 7th gr-grandaughter of Mary Towne Esty.

That's been going on for a couple of years. They finally have opened up the 1st floor which houses the genealogy collection and the archives manuscripts. They haven't pulled all of the books out of storage yet, but there's a lot that is now available. Chris

I have to disagree with this on the grounds that we deal in historical reality, not whether we like the things that happen or not. It is indeed a gory thing, but one that I found on the site was an historical relative of mine who was killed as a witch during the Salem witch trials. That was truely a gruesome time.

Think that you are absolutely right there. Half the people would probably be in mental institutions afterwards. Personally I think that it would drive me right over the deep end.
