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.
I worked with one of the Procter descendants, Godless Socialist, I would have hung him.
