SUMMARY:Our Founding Mothers and Fathers: Revolutionary War Connections to the Salem Witch Trials
DESCRIPTION:The American Ancestors organization once estimated 15 million people can trace their family line back to the Salem witch trials. We often tell visitors that the English colonists of 1692 were the founding fathers and mothers of our country. They were themselves descended from the earliest settlers\, who were establishing a new country and took the biblical instruction “be fruitful and multiply” to heart. \nWe often find fascinating connections between the Salem witch trials and the Revolutionary War generation\, particularly the one most often referred to as our “Founding Fathers.” With Rev250 celebrations in full swing\, this presentation will share some of these interesting stories\, including that of Reverend George Burroughs\, the Putnam family of Salem Village\, Reverend John Hale of Beverly\, and Abigail Faulkner of Andover. \nJoin us on Thursday\, August 7th at 6:00 pm EST for this free\, virtual program. Registration is required for this event.
