Notes

Born possibly 1628 at Abington, Plymouth, Massachusetts?

"...In 1688 William and Rebecca Chamberlain and their growing family are now enjoying their homestead east of the Concord River in Billerica. I don’t know if they heard about the witch who was convicted and hanged in Boston, or if they paid it any attention. Yet, Salem Village is about to set off an explosion of evil caused by that incident. Dozens of the surrounding towns will feel the effect, including Billerica.
The witchcraft accusations of 1692 had a terrible impact on the William Chamberlain family. This chapter will attempt to uncover the experience of a family living in Billerica during these dark days...Many citizens of Billerica, which was about 20 miles west of Salem Village, soon found themselves accused.
...26 Sep 1692 Rebecca Chamberlain, age 67, wife of WilliamW1 and mother of 13 children, died in Cambridge Prison. Rebecca Chamberlain was believed to be a victim of the Salem witch hunts."
