V. B. PERLEY, Publisher 1911 OPYBIGHT, 1911 By M. V. B. PERLEY Saeem, Mass. nJtrt^ BOSTON 1911 NOTICE Greater Salem, the province of Governors Conant and Endicott, is visited by thousands of sojourners yearly. They come to study the Quakers and the witches, to picture the manses of the latter and the stately mansions of Salem's commercial kings, and breathe the salubrious air of "old gray ocean." The witchcraft "delusion" is generally the first topic of inquiry, and the earnest desire of those people with notebook in hand to aid the memory in chronicling answers, suggested this monograph and urged its publication. There is another cogent reason: the popular knowledge is circumscribed and even that needs correcting. This short history meets that earnest desire; it gives the origin, growth, and death of the hideous monster; it gives dates, courts, and names of places, jurors, witnesses, and those hanged; it names and explains certain "men and things" that are concomitant to the trials, with which the reader may not be conversant and which are necessary to the proper setting of the trials in one's mind; it compasses the salient features of witchcraft history, so that the story of the 1692 "delusion" may be garnered and entertainingly rehearsed.

COTTON MATHER’S WONDERS OF THE INVISIBLE WORLD: AN AUTHORITATIVE EDITION by PAUL M. WISE Under the direction of Reiner Smolinski ABSTRACT In Wonders of the Invisible World, Cotton Mather applies both his views on witchcraft and his millennial calculations to events at Salem in 1692. Although this infamous treatise served as the official chronicle and apologia of the 1692 witch trials, and excerpts from Wonders of the Invisible World are widely anthologized, no annotated critical edition of the entire work has appeared since the nineteenth century. This present edition seeks to remedy this lacuna in modern scholarship, presenting Mather’s seventeenth-century text next to an integrated theory of the natural causes of the Salem witch panic. The likely causes of Salem’s bewitchment, viewed alongside Mather’s implausible explanations, expose his disingenuousness in writing about Salem. Chapter one of my introduction posits the probability that a group of conspirators, led by the Rev.

99 Main Street, Haverhill, MA 01830 978-373-1586 ext. 642 http://www.haverhillpl.org/information-services/local-history-2/ Saltonstall Family Collection, 1825-2002 Collection Summary Reference Code: MRQ, US. Repository: Special Collections, Haverhill Public Library, Haverhill, Massachusetts. Call Number: MSS 39 Collector: Haverhill Public Library Title: Saltonstall Family Collection, 1825-2002 Dates: 1825-2002 Size: .209 linear feet (1 box) Language(s): Collection materials are in English. Abstract: This collection is comprised of materials that were collected by the Haverhill Public Library related to the Saltonstall family. Biographical Sketches Nathaniel Saltonstall was born in Ipswich, Massachusetts, in about 1639, to Richard Saltonstall (1610–1694) and Murial Gurdon. He graduated from Harvard College in 1659. In 1663, he married Elizabeth Ward (1647–1714), the daughter of Rev. John Ward of Haverhill, and received the acres lying east of her father’s home as a wedding gift. They built a house called Saltonstall Seat. They had four children: Gurdon Saltonstall (1666–1724); Elizabeth Saltonstall (1668–1726); Col. Richard Saltonstall (1672–1714); and Nathaniel Saltonstall (1674–1739). In 1668, Saltonstall began his career in town affairs when he was appointed town clerk. His involvement in judicial affairs and reputation made him eligible to serve in the Salem Witch Trials, and he was appointed a judge along with six other men on May 27, 1692. There is no evidence, however, of his attendance at any of the examinations. Indeed, he resigned from the Court of Oyer and Terminer around June 8, 1692, the same time as Bridget Bishop's trial and sentence for witchcraft.

Northeastern New England in the late seventeenth century. MAINE, INDIAN LAND SPECULATION, AND THE ESSEX COUNTY WITCHCRAFT OUTBREAK OF 1692 By Emerson W. Baker and James Kences Although the well-known Salem witchcraft trials of 1692 took place in Massachusetts, it was clearly related to events in Maine and elsewhere on the New England frontier. In recent years scholars have increasingly pointed to the many participants in the trials who had ties to Maine. These connections go beyond the accused witches and afflicted girls who were war refugees in Massachusetts> to include many residents of the Bay Colony caught up in a wave of speculation in frontier Indian lands during the 1680s. Most of the witchcraft judges and their families owned such land in Maine.

A Sketch of Bridget Bishop by Mai-Linh Gonzales Westwood
A Sketch of Bridget Bishop by Mai-Linh Gonzales Westwood The Salem witchcraft scare of 1692 was not a typical Puritan occurrence. It was an aberration that grew out of a number of tensions in the community. The Puritan principles that the Massachusetts Bay Colony was founded on had shifted some what. Instead of self reflection on personal sinfulness, people began to focus on the sinfulness of others. Religious leaders (such as Increase and Cotton Mather) had long preached about the power that Satan exercised on Earth through witches. Since it was a long held Puritan belief that Man was inherently evil, it was easy to blame community problems on people who were in the slightest way different. The Colony was also under close scrutiny in England and was bargaining with little success for its autonomy. In the resulting atmosphere of political tension, many citizens became scapegoats for general frustration. <1> Belief in witchcraft and community grudges combined with other tensions to bring about a witch hunt hysteria. A group of "afflicted" girls began to accuse various community members of bewitching them. Between June 10 and September 22, 1692, these accusations led to the deaths of nineteen Massachusetts men and women, and two dogs. Another man was pressed to death for refusing to plead to his indictment. When the executions had come to an end, fifty five people had confessed that they were witches, and 150 more were in jail awaiting trial. < 2> Bridget Bishop was the first victim in this famous series of trials. She was a victim of the focus on the sinfulness of others and desire to rid the community of any threats of evil.

Fifty Ancestors
FIFTY ANCESTORS OF ~rury 1£iurnln Qllupp. FIFTY A.NCESTORS OF WHO CAME TO NEW ENGLAND FROM 1620 TO 16i,o. Clapp Coat of Arm,. BOSTON: PRESS OF DAVID CLAPP & SON. 1 HO 2. INTRODUCTION. NL'>:S-Y people think a genealogist is "queer," or in a temporarily queer condition when he is ancestry hunting. One says, "Skip genealogy" ; another, "Dried dates don't interest me, bnt I like the Jn,tes of the Phreni;c clactyltfern ( date palm)"; another, "Better not go back too far,-you may find a persona non gnita." Bnt these little jocosities produce no permanent effect on tbe genea logist who is hunting like ",hphet in search of a father." '' Looking backward" a little way, srLy as far as the Pilgrims, is on the whole rather interesting. Along the course two hundred and seventy or eighty years in length one finds many admirable charac cers; he sees that he has considerable more to do in order to live such a life as the forefathers lived; and the view stiffens up his own 3btndard of living. Nothing queer about that. If there is, why, let ns have a little more of it. To sonic it seems queer to work long and hard on a subject that is not expected to yield any returns whatever in dollars and cents ; to perform a costly "labor of love" seems queer ; to toil from motives of pure sentiment seems queer; to give away genealogical publications that cost a dollar or more apiece, as one gives away tracts, seems queer. "\Vhat are you <loing it for?" they ask.
