Jacob Towne (RECORDS AND FILES OF THE QUARTERLY COURTS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 9 vols. [Salem, 1911-75], 2:204 [FHL #974.45 P2e]). Furthermore, Isaac Esty, aged 82, petitioned the court for restitution in the wrongful death of his wife Mary, excecuted for withcraft in 1692, dated 8 Sep 1710 ("Witchcraft [Cases], Court of Assistants, 1673-1692, and Superior Court of Judicature" [transcript, n.d.], 155 [FHL #877465 item 2]). Robert Calef stated that Mary Esty and Rebecca Nurse were sisters in his MORE WONDERS OF THE INVISIBLE WORLD (London, 1700), reprinted in George Lincoln Burr, NARRATIVES OF THE WITCHCRAFT CASES (New York, 1914), 367 (BYU #E187.07 O73x vol. 18). Burr was a witness to many of the events surrounding the Salem witchcraft delusion of 1692.
