Mary Bliss Parsons
Like Rebecca Nurse, Mary Bliss Parsons has many descendants. She was accused of witchcraft underwent several trials but was acquitted. She and her husband, Joseph Parsons, were well to do residents of Springfield and later Northampton, MA. We are related to her through the Terry line. Several web sites cover her story extensively (will open in a new window):- Mary (Bliss) Parsons Witchcraft Trial is a site developed for the town of Northampton and the University of Massachusetts, Ameherst with a very rigorous examination of Mary's life.
- Mass Moments has a nice summary of Mary's problems.
