Description

Up to the time he was accused of witchcraft and arrested, Captain John Floyd seemed to lead a charmed life. He was born about 1636 according to the inscription on his gravestone which can still be found at the 'old' Lynn cemetery near Boston Massachusetts. The place of his birth and names of his parents are unknown.The first record of him dates back to 1654 when he was one of four men from Salem Massachusetts who volunteered to join the expeditionary force sent from England by Oliver Cromwell to attack and plunder French forts in Arcadia (Maine and Canada). Sometime later he moved to the nearby town of Lynn, where he married Sarah Doolittle who was the only child of the wealthiest man in the town of Rumney Marsh. He later moved with his family to Rumney Marsh which was then the northernmost district of Boston and is now the town of Revere. He was made freeman in 1674: a member of the Church who could own land, share in the division of common lands, and be part of the governing body of Massachusetts Bay Colony.During the spring and summer of 1676 he served as a lieutenant in Captain Henchman's company in the King Philip's War against several of the eastern-Algonquin Indian tribes. John Floyd became a man of wealth himself with a large household, several servants and a successful law practice. At the time of his arrest in 1692 while on leave, he was an active fifty-six-year-old captain leading a company of soldiers in Maine and New Hampshire during the first of the four French and Indians wars, the King Williams War.The fear of witches and wizards was as real to the seventeenth century Puritans as was the fear of being scalped by the French and Indians and as great as the fear of hell itself. The two young girls who started these events in 1692 and who were said to be tormented by witchcraft, had set off a chain reaction, a flood of irrational terror.Why was Captain Floyd accused of witchcraft? What was his connection to the town of Salem Massachusetts and to these young women? What would cause him to be pulled into this bizarre spectacle? This book tells the story of Captain John Floyd and his part in the fascinating history of New England including his arrest during the infamous 1692 witch trials of Salem Massachusetts.
