Three hundred twenty-five years ago today. Figured I might as well share this gem while I'm at it. 325 years ago tonight, my 9x great grandmother Sarah Bassett was sitting in a cold, foul, "gaol" in Boston because the gaol in Salem was full. She was pregnant, accompanied by her two year-old daughter, and accused of witchcraft. Her in-laws, John and Elizabeth Proctor, were already in gaol for the same crime, on similar trumped up charges. Read 'The Crucible' to see how those two fared. Grandma Sarah was spared the noose, but was forced to endure more than 7 months of wrongful incarceration. #thatwasawitchhunt #innocentvictims #religiousextremism #familyhistorymatters #historymatters
