The male that was hung was a Quaker--which did not set well with the puritans. Now I think I know why so many of my relatives headed to Minnesota and Wisconsin. Lack of witch trials there.

I had 2 relatives arrive here in 1620 on the Mayflower.The 12 year old girl was the first female ashore at Plymouth.Also had another relative that served in the revolutionary war it also listed those he served under. It's now time to go through the entire book, I just wish it would have gone all the way up to today. Tom That is so neat! I love that kind of history. Pretty amazing stuff. The show Mysteries At The Museum has a lot of interesting historical subject on there similar to this. One of my favorite shows. We are told not to judge all Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but are told to judge all gunowners by the actions of a few.
