Mary Ayer Parker-12th Great Aunt

Family Tree History & Research
Mary Ayer Parker
12th Great Aunt

Victim of The Salem Witch Trials of 1692


The other day I found myself researching another of my family tree lines and I came upon 2 different 10th Great Grandmothers from one of my mother's family lines, Love Ayer Kingsbury and Ruth Ayer Dennison.
I found it odd that while looking into this genealogy, they had the same maiden names.

A little more research and looking at a few of my trees and I figured out that they were 1st cousins to one another...
Their fathers, Thomas and Peter respectively, were brothers, both being my 11th Great Grandfathers (born of John & Hannah Ayers) that sired two different lines, eventually leading to me and my siblings and their children
I can't tell you how many times this has happened in my mother's family tree branches.

I then found the sister of Thomas and Peter Ayers, my 12th Great Aunt, Mary Ayers Parker.

Today I would like to introduce everyone to this ancestral family member.

Her story starts in Haverhill Mass. in Colonial New England around 1637 and also ends in September of 1692 in Colonial New England, more specifically in Salem Mass......

Come along and meet my 12th Great Aunt, Mary Ayer Parker.....and a glimpse of my 10th and 11th Great Grandparents from another of my mother's family branches.
