Wow - is that who served on a single jury throughout the witch trials?

I'm researching this entire family group as they're ancestral to my brother in law; sounds like the whole family were religious fanatics from way back!

I'd like to know more about their role in the witch trials, and how they came to be selected.

Generally my own ancestors in Salem and Beverly fall into two groups; victims, and moderates who took little active role but occasionally rescued people. There was of course Balch Woman the gossip. She testified at the trial, and basically, gossipped.

Yours.
