An American Family History

Mary Estey Dwinnell's great grandmother, Mary Towne Estey, was executed for witchcraft in Salem in 1692. Mary's ancestors also included members of some of New England's earliest Puritan settlers. A Puritan is a member was a religious group in the 16th and 17th centuries advocating "purity" of worship and doctrine who believed in personal and group piety. Puritans were persecuted in England and came to America so they would be free to practice their religion.

The Towne family was in Salem by 1640. Jeffrey Estey was granted land in Salem in 1636. The Kimballs came on the ship “Elizabeth" which sailed from Ipswich, England in April, 1634.
