I will post the text of the letter in the Off Topic forum after Christmas. My grandfather (10?) and his family went through hardship as a result of the two trials in which he testified against Martha Carrier (who was hung) and Hopestill Tylers wife who was acquitted. The family letter describes him as being "dragged" before the court. But family history indicates another reason for his testimony. I do believe that he did think Martha Carrier was a true witch based on her interactions with him, which were not pleasant. I'll provide more information in the Off Topic forum.
