Dear Sarah,
I would love to hear from you.
I hope that you in someway monitor this. I recently watched your journey back in time.... it's a bug that has bitten me for 25+ yrs. I too have ancestors that were executed in the Salem Witch Trials. One of the more famous was Rebecca Nurse, a 74 yr old woman, who was hard of hearing. She was one of the first that was hanged. You could imagine my surprise when I saw what you turned up about your Esther Elwell, as Abigail Roe, Daughter of Hugh Roe, would have been my many times Great Aunt. I descend through her brother, Peter, who married Sarah Remmington, of the Famed Remmington Rifles, Typewriters, and a famous civil war painter. Back to Abigail, I have many times found the notation that there was something to due with witch craft with her, and never was able to turn anything up. I would love if you could share your documentation on the 3 women with me,, because i have been unable to locate anything.
Thank you so much,
Kim (Roe) Kester
Rebecca Nurse is one of my ancestors.
