Bradbury, Thomas Capt. (b. BEF 28 FEB 1609/10, d. 16 MAR 1694/95)

Note: Capt. Thomas Bradbury of Salisbury, was one of the earliest settlers and original proprietors of that ancient town, and was a leading citizen there for more than 50 years. He was undoubtedly more continuously in the public service than any other of its early inhabitants, for which his education, far above the average of that of his contemporaries, rendered him eligible and competent.

According to Weis' "Ancestral Roots", he came to New England as an agent for Sir Ferdinando Gorges.

Death: 16 MAR 1694/95 Salisbury, Essex, MA

Perkins, Mary (b. 1620, d. 20 DEC 1700)

Note: Mary [Perkins] Bradbury, was one of those unfortunate people who, in the dark days of witchcraft delusion, was among those accused of witchcraft. She was also convicted, but by the efforts of her friends, her execution was delayed, the horrid delusion passed away and she was discharged.

Tried for Witchcraft Sep 9, 1692 in Salisbury, Mass. 'I do plead not guilty. I am wholly innocent of such wickedness.' She was ably and courageously defended by Major Robert Pike, convicted, but not executed. The papers pertaining to the case are of deep interest, and show the high estimation in which she was held.The papers connected with her trial, as well as those of the others, are on file in the Clerk of Courts Office in Salem, Mass.

Her defense in answer to the accusations of her persecutors, the testimony of her husband with that of Rev. James Allin and John Pike, her ministers, and the united testimonial of over 100 of her neighbors were all of no avail. These papers show her to have been a most estimable, pious and good woman.

======================The Salem Witch Trials ===============
In January of 1692, Rev. Samuel Parris' the daughter, Elizabeth and his niece, Abigail Williams became ill. When they failed to improve, the village doctor, William Griggs, was called in. His diagnosis of bewitchment put into motion the forces that would ultimately result in the death by hanging of nineteen men and women. In addition, one man was crushed to death; seventeen others died in prison, and the lives of many were irrevocably changed.

Tituba, an Arawak or Carib Indian from Barbados, was Rev. Parris' slave. Her documented role in the witch trials includes arrest and confession of witchcraft on March 1, 1692. Her influence on the afflicted girls' behavior is unclear.

To understand the events of the Salem witch trials, it is necessary to examine the times in which accusations of witchcraft occurred. There were the ordinary stresses of 17th-century life in Massachusetts Bay Colony. A strong belief in the devil, factions among Salem Village fanatics and rivalry with nearby Salem Town, a recent small pox epidemic and the threat of attack by warring tribes created a fertile ground for fear and suspicion.

Soon prisons were filled with more than 150 men and women from towns surrounding Salem. Their names had been "cried out" by tormented young girls as the cause of their pain. All would await trial for a crime punishable death in 17th-century New England - the practice of witchcraft. There are many theories to explain the "fits" of the young girls accused so many of practicing witchcraft. Among the theories are adolescent hysteria and poisoning; however, there is no definite answer.

Under British law, the basis for Massachusetts Bay Colony legal structure in the 17th century those who were accused of consorting with the devil were considered felons, having committed a crime against their government. The punishment for such a crime was hanging. Most of these unfortunate people were accused by 4 teenage girls in prankster fashion. It was not until 14 years later one of the girls, Ann Putnam, confessed. The reprievals were those that confessed to being a witch, while those that denied were killed. January 1693, over 100 People were still in jail for such a crime. Because the accused had all their property taken, and were responsible for paying for their trials, jail and torture, Many could not afford to leave. 1957 the Commonwealth of Massachusetts finally reversed the attainders of all those not covered by the earlier act.

Over a period of 16 Months, 31 were killed and 150 people were put in prison for witchcraft, and more than 200 were accused. Of those, 31 were sentenced to be hung; 19 were hung; 2 died in jail; 1 pressed to death; 1 held indefinitely; 2 postponed for pregnancy, later earned reprievals; 1 escaped; 5 reprievals

Perkins, John (b. BEF 23 DEC 1583, d. BET 28 MAR AND 26 SEP 1654)

Note: The ship "Lyon" departed Bristol Dec. 1, 1630, with about 20 passengers and 200 tons of goods, and arrived Feb. 5, 1631. John Perkins, of Hillmorton, Warwick, bound for Boston with: Mrs. Judith Perkins; John Perkins; Elizabeth Perkins; Mary Perkins; Thomas Perkins; Jacob Perkins John Perkins is noted as probably being a cousin of the Rev. Roger Williams, who was one of their fellow passengers.

For about 2 years after their arrival in America, the Perkins family resided in Boston, where the youngest child, Lydia, was born. On May 18, 1631, John Perkins took the oath of Freeman. He removed from Boston in 1633 to the colony then newly founded by John Winthrop and others at Ipswich. Here he was largely engaged in agriculture, and had several grants of land. John Perkins, besides holding town offices and occupying other places of trust, appears to have been one of the leading men of Ipswich, and was highly esteemed by his fellow townsmen. He signed a will on 28 Mar 1654 in Ipswich, Mass. and he probably died not long after, as he then says he was 'sick and weak in body.' He owned the large island at the mouth of Ipswich River, which was then, and nearly to our own day, called Perkins Island. It is still (1856) believed to be in the family. His house stood near Manning's Neck and close to the river.
