Hello list,
Well, I'm back from vacation and find that the Carrier list has been deadly
silent so I thought I'd post this to see if anyone is still here.
I found this posting on the Salem Witch list and thought it might interest
those descended from Martha and Thomas.

Hello all!
I have just learned that the 3-volume "The Salem Witchcraft Papers:
Verbatim Transcripts of the Legal Documents of the Salem Witchcraft
Outbreak of 1692," edited by Paul Boyer and Stephen Nissenbaum is now
available on-line as eText! It's browsable and searchable (the search is a
tad odd...), and it will help everyone who has not been able to locate this
hard-to-find set of books:
http://etext.virginia.edu/salem/witchcraft/texts/
This site also includes the eText of Burr's narratives of the trials,
including the text of Cotton Mather's "Wonders of the Invisible World,"
Deodat Lawson's narrative, Thomas Brattle's letter, Robert Calef's
"More
Wonders of the Invisible World," and John Hale's "A Modest Inquiry into
the
Nature of Witchcraft."
Happy hunting! :D
Cheers,
Margo
