Mary Bliss and Joseph Parsons (Facebook)

We are the descendants of Mary Bliss and Joseph Parsons. Joseph is one of the founders of Northampton and Springfield, Massachusetts. Mary Bliss was accused of witchcraft. Her trial for witchcraft was held in Boston and is studied in law school classes today. Seventeen years after her trial, William Stoughton and Thomas Danforth (judges who tried Mary's case) went on to try the Salem "witches." This is a private genealogy group for individuals who are interested in collaborating on their family tree with distant cousins from all over the world. We love to share... we love to help.
