re: #95 Decatur Deb

A good number of colonists couldn’t hack it and went over the hill to the local tribes—most had liberal adoption policies.

I was reading a novel about the Salem Witch trials, recently. Apparently, the father of one of the young women involved was an Anglican, who flatly refused to the do the Separatist thing. He would row himself to Marblehead of a Sunday, weather permitting, to go to the COE church there.

They were, of course, early targets.
