My sister told me another female ancestor was also hung as a witch--I haven't gotten to that one yet. 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. Tom

I can't even find evidence of my parents marriage, circa 1946.

Just picked up a book on my mothers side of the family.I am just getting into it but have found out a couple of interesting facts. 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.
