My family went to Conn in 1630 from Salem, I think that keeping our hair intact was a more pressing concern, see Pequot war of 1637.

I’ve got a line that was there at the time, it wasn’t at all the kangaroo court of modern popular perception.

For example, a female collateral ancestor got hauled up in front of Increase Mather for killing her son with an axe. She was not hanged. She was put away. Crazy woman. Quite a few influental people descended from her, though. Several Presidents, Aaron Burr, Jonathan Edwards, etc.

One of my grandmothers ancestors was killed by the Pequot in 1637. An ancestor of my grandfather was hung 1692 in Salem as an accused witch. These two ancestors were not related to each other.

Fortunately they already had the offspring which led to my dad and then to me.
