There was a female who was burned at the stake for witchcraft in Ct in the 1600's who was traced to my late
mother-in-law's family. No one knew anything about her so
she remains a mystery. My mother-in-law always denied that
she was on her side of the family, guess she thought that her side was better than most but it has been documented.
As previously noted (page 10)in the same time period one of
my ancestors was knighted by Maxillion (sp)of Bavaria for
his religious works.
