General Notes (Husband)
Thomas married Rebecca Nurse (1647-1719) on 4-15-1669 in Salem Village, Essex, MA. Rebecca was the daughter of Francis Nurse and Rebecca Town and granddaughter of William Towne and Joanna Blessing. They had 8 children. Rebecca (Towne) Nurse was put to death in Salem in 1692 as a witch. (Because she went to church in Salem town, and with her sisters belonged to the faction that wanted the minister of Salem Village replaced.
Analysis has found that the selection of victims of the Salem witch trials was completely nonrandom. Many victims were on teh fringes of the village society, but some, including Rebecca Nurse who was very devout and a pillar of the village society, were not. Most of the victims were on the wrong side of a conflict in the village that had centered on the selection, support, theology, and possible replacement of the minister of the church of Salem Village. A few were simply associated with the social changes that underlay the conflict.
The Salem villagers felt their entire traditional medieval way of life was under attack by an assortment of forces from Indians to the growth of a capitalist economic system that was epitomized by nearby Salem Town, as well as by the capitalistic land investment strategies of a man named Willard, who also had psychotic episodes, and was executed as a witch. A particularly egregious offense was the sale of his wife's farm that had been passed down in her family for generations. In medieval England land rights were associated with families forever, even though the land was often atually owned by the Lord of the Manor or communally by the village, as was often done in early New England, and the family paid annual rent for a house and shares of land for various purposes here and there, the boundaries of which were marked by brain maps of which furrows in the fields separated one person's land from another's, that generation after generation somehow never altered. Mr. Willard simply went around buying land and selling it at a profit, and like many of Edmund Rice's friends and their relations, of whom he was one, he became a wealthy man. The people of Salem blamed all of their problems, including threats from Indians, political problems of the government of the Massachusetts Bay colony, and sociological developments that they did not understand, on Satan.
Their anxieties and their politics together led to the witch trials in 1692. To the traditionalist party in Salem Village, all of those people were just agents of Satan. Their daughters knew who their parents didn't like, would have had general impressions of how their parents characterized those people, and suffered from the high level of general anxiety and bad feeling around them - but they were probably most immediately afflicted with extreme anxieties provoked by Puritanism's unworkable theology of election and double predestination. Some of their most devout elders were actually refusing to come to church because they failed to hear the voice of God in their hearts or find similar means of objective knowledge, assuring them they were among the Chosen.)
