I decided to Google my grandfather’s name because I was watching the British antiques roadshow and it was something dealing with WWII which made me think of him. I came across an LDS website that has genealogy info for free. I went down a rabbit hole. Hello ADHD!! Anyway… My grandmother was an Estey. Her father was William, born in 1870. His father was also William. Older William’s dad was Aaron Estey III, his daddy was Aaron Estey II, then we have the first. His father was Isaac Estey Jr. Lil Isaac’s dad was obviously Isaac Estey Sr, but his mama was Mary Towne Estey… Killed in the Salem witch trials. Hello, wat?? Someone someplace in the family has done a lot of research. Parts of the family history go all the way back to 1110. So kudos to them. If you Google my 7th great grandmother, you’ll learn a bit about her. She really probably wasn’t a witch. Puritans wouldn’t even like modern christians. That being said, I’m even more empowered to stand up for what’s good and right. Live and let live. Well behaved women seldom make history, right? Anyone else related?? Hello distant relatives!!
