(34,139 posts)21. Henry Herrick was one of my ancestors - but I misspoke
It was his son, Henry Jr. that was on the jury for Rebecca Nurse but I am descended from Henry Sr's son Ephraim.
A different ancestor, Thomas Kinne (aka Keney and other variations) was married to Ann Putnam. Ann Putnam in my family was fifty years older than the one who was one of the accusers, but most likely was a relative.
ETA - Jone Dane might be a relative - I have a John Doane married to an Ann Perkins (another surname in the trails). Since spelling was not consistent, it could be the same man.
