So, as it turns out that one of my great grandmother's was accused, tried, and hung as a witch during the Salem Witch Trials. Her name was Rebecca Nurse and she was 71 when she was falsely accused of witchcraft and hung. She knew she was innocent, but wrote to her husband that there must have been some sin in her past that she never repented of, that even forgotten, God was punishing her for. I hope she accepts and understands the Gospel in the afterlife.
Here is the house that she lived in.

Holy cow, Dan, we're related. I'm a descendant of her too!!! Crazy. I was always stuck reading her part in the play during high school...luckily her role is minor and i could sleep until the end.
Here's to you, cousin.
