Generation: 3

  1. 3.  Rebecca Town Descendancy chart to this point (2.William2, 1.John1) was born 21 Feb 1621, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England; was christened 21 Feb 1621, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England; died 19 Jul 1692, Salem Village, Essex County, Massachusetts; was buried Abt 19 Jul 1692, Salem Village, Essex County, Massachusetts.

    Notes:

    Rebecca was in the eyes of those who knew her well the very essence of what a Puritan mother should be. Deeply pious, she was so steeped in Scripture that the country roughness of her speech - she had a Chaucerian fondness for triple negatives - was often shot through with a poetical Scriptural quality. It was not merely a matter of lugging in texts, but a deep, instinctive poetry of
    feeling that overflowed into her simple, pregnant speech. When Rebecca spoke it was as if one of the grand women of the Old Testament were speaking Naomi or Ruth amid alien corn (Rebecca herself remembered her birthplace, Yarmouth, England), or the beloved Rachel, or indeed her own namesake.

    In her home life she had resembled the wise woman of Proverbs, and her children she had reared with loving devotion to both their spiritual and temporal welfare. Now in her old age they rose up and called her blessed, not only her four sons and four daughters, but what perhaps the super most tribute, her three sons-in-law and four daughters-in-law.

    This is not to say that she was altogether a saint. Even the Bible women, as anyone can discover by examining Scripture closely, had their off days. The years had made Rebecca hard of hearing and infirm; when she was ill and did not clearly understand what was said to her, she could sometimes lose her temper.

    Rebecca was one of 19 hanged as witches in the infamous Salem Witch Trials. Her trial is most often cited for the injustice of this trying period. Recent evidence indicates the accusers were suffering from ergot poisoning.

    The night of the hanging, her family secretly removed her body from a mass grave to their family farm.

    Notes:

    Mary Esty, so gentle in life that the magistrates themselves were with
    difficulty convinced of her witchhood, and her very jailers pleaded for her,
    nevertheless had the will of a Cromwell. Even when she knew that there was no
    hope of establishing her own innocence, she had continued her contest with the
    judges in the hope of saving others.

    She was hanged accused of practicing witchcraft despite the moving appeal to
    the court she composed after her trial. "I petition your honors not for my own
    life," she wrote, "for I know I must die, and my appointed time is set; but
    ..., if it be possible, that no more innocent blood be shed."

    Notes:

    On April 4, 1692 the conspiracy filed a complaint [No. 6] against Sarah Cloyce.
    On April 11 she was arrested. The examination was held in Salem Town before
    Thomas Danforth (the deputy governor), Isaac Addington (the secretary of the
    province), John Hathorne, Major Samuel Appleton, James Russell, Captain Samuel
    Sewall, and Jonathan Corwin. All of the last five were assistants to the
    governor; that is, they were members of the upper legislative chamber. Sarah
    Cloyce refused to confess, and in response to testimony by John Indian said,
    "Oh! You are a grievous liar." She was imprisoned at Salem, then Boston.

    On January 3, 1693 at the Superior Court of Judicature at Salem, the grand jury
    dismissed the charge against Sarah Cloyce. Peter Cloyce paid his wife's prison
    fees. Eventually they left Salem Village and settled in Marlborough.
    Afterwards they moved to neighboring Sudbury, Massachusetts.
