[13650]
Arrived in America 1635 or possibly earlier
Arrived in Conn. July 15, 1636
1654---Removed from Springfield to Northampton 1656 and ensuing years, His wife was charged and tried in court twice for being a Witch. Joseph brought action against the neighbor Goodwife Bridgman to protect the reputation of his wife, Mary, even though she had such a strong personality, proud, nervous, haughty, who considered herself a wealthy dame of considerable importance, which followed her from Springfield to Northampton. So neighborhood gossip accused her of being a witch.
The court favored Mary Bliss Parsons and James Bridgman had to pay a fine to Joseph Parsons.
Eighteen years later the charge of witchcraft was renewed, but this time in Boston. She argued her own case. The jury gave her full acquittal.
Later his son, John, also, was charged with witchcraft. The court paid it little attention. Joseph, was so disgusted with all this action, that in 1679, he returned to Springfield.
WITCH HUNT:
[The following info. comes from researcher Gordon Fisher's World ConnectSite at Rootsweb. site.His e-mail is gfisher@shentel.net]
In a table titled "The Northampton Oligarchy, 1661-1669" in *SolomonStoddard* by Ralph J Coffman, Boston (Twayne) 1978, p 192, the occupationof William CLARK (or CLARKE) is given as miller and innkeeper.
From the same, p 52: (P) From Lancashire County, England, came a group ofemigrants apparently associated with the Reverend Richard Mather in Dorchester, Massachusetts, before migrating further in New England.Richard Mather, who went down to Oxford in 1618 but never graduated, was there with John White and John Maverick and William Parsons. Oxford was, perhaps, a center of moderate Puritanism at the time. Richard Mather arrived in the new Dorchester in 1636,just as John Warham was migrating to Windsor, Connecticut. Mather and His Lancashire men were denied permission toform a church by Thomas Shepard, John Cotton, and Governor Winthrop, on the grounds that they could not give adequate evidence oftheir spiritual condition. (P) The Lancashire men who accompanied Mather to Dorchester displayed a restiveness which may have been in part due to this religious difference of opinion. Thus, William Clark, Jr., son of a tailor of Cockerhsam who was baptized February 20, 1616, emigrated in the *Mary and John* in 1633 to Dorchester. He was not awarded land immediately nor did he become a church member, although he did hold the selectman post illegally for two terms, reflecting Mather's moderate Congregational laxity in enforcing Massachusetts law. He married Sarah in 1636, and by the time their ninth child was born in 1659, Northampton looked to be the last chance he had of becoming accepted as a full citizen in New England,even though it was an outpost. He moved to Northampton in1659, never to return to Dorchester. As he predicted, he became a leader in the newtown."
From same, p 61: " ... William Clark, another pillar [of the Northampton Congregational church], and his wife, both members, witnessed their children John, Samuel, Rebecca and William take the oath. Only Rebecca and John, the two elder children, would become full members."
From same, p 62: "On April 22, 1672, Samuel Bartlett, a farmer, had married James Bridgman's daughter, Mary. Bartlett was a second generation Half-Way [a Congregationalist "covenant"] member whose father Robert was a moderately wealthy farmer who refused to give his son and land outright. ..... Town gossip probably caused Mary's father, James Bridgman, to defend his daughter by accusing Mary Parsons, the daughter of his rival oligarchic leader, Joseph Parsons, of witchcraft, and he was eagerly joined by other Half-Way members. On September 19, 1674, Mary Parsons voluntarily appeared before the Hampshire County Court to clear herself from Accusations ..... Within a month Mary Bartlett died in childbirth and Bridgman charged "that she died by some unusual means, viz., by means of some evil instrument," namely, by Mary Parson's blackmagic. Bridgman accused Mary of witchcraft and on January 4, 1675, at the Northampton Inferior Court, an examination of Mary's body for signs ofthe devilwas ordered by the town's leading men, John Pynchon, HenryClark, William Clark and David Wilton. (P) The examiner was, of course,the minister, Solomon Stoddard [q.v.], and he performed his duty without incident, recommending that Mary Parons be secured to trial by the Court of Assistants in Boston with a bail set at L50. Once the Assistants received Stoddard's evidences they immediately indicted Mary on suspicion of witchcraft -- Stoddard had obviously found possible marks of the devil on her person. However, her trial on May13, 1675, was speedy: she was found not guilty by a jury of twelve Bostonians.
[13649] Another source states he was killed by Indians on this date.
