she had been m. upwards of fifty-one and a half yrs. bef. this false

1683; Sarah, again, 14 Dec. 1684; and Mary, 14 Oct.
1688; and he was freem. 1676. Of this name the occurrence is so
freq. in all parts of N. E. that out of inq. confin. exclus. to it, a large
vol. would grow. Perhaps even some stocks may have escap. my
research. The first person in N. E. guilty of the impossib. crime of
witchcraft, and exec. at Hartford, was a Johnson of Windsor; and one
of the most disting. was Rev. Samuel, b. at Guilford, 14 Oct. 1696, the
first Presid. of King's Coll. at New York, wh. d. 6 Jan. 1772. Sometimes,
but rarely, this name appears Johnstone. Ten of the name had
been gr. at Harv. in 1834, of wh. three were clerg. and forty-eight at
other N. E. coll. of wh. twenty-one were clerg.
