Hello cousin. I too am a descendent of Rebecca Nurse, from her Dau. Mary m. John Tarbell.

The sister that lived was Sarah. There is a movie about her story "Three Sovereigns for Sarah" starring Vanessa Redgrave. Find the movie and learn her story, it seems she was hid until this hysteria foolishness was all over. The English Crown gave Sarah three sovereigns, one for each sister and for herself.

Then of course all the Trial information and text of all testimonies are online. Have you visited the Nurse homestead in Danvers yet? Beautiful old home and in very good shape. I had the priviledge of seeing it several years ago.

I suppose you also know that all the films about the Trials are filmed on the Rebecca Nurse homesite. The newest "The Crucible", is a good source to view the place, although that version tells some more lies.

Hello cousin indeed. I have the movie you mention and lived in new England years ago so of course went to the Nurse homestead/farm. My daughter is named Rebecca for Rebecca Nurse and also because she was born in NE. (Weymouth) Time to get out the video and watch it again.
