Gooch, Sir Williams 1681-1751
Colonial governor; born in Yarmouth, Eng., Oct. 21, 1681; had been an officer under Marlborough, and in 1740 commanded in the unsuccessful attack on Carthagena.
In 1746 he was made a brigadier-general and was knighted, and in 1747 a major-general.
He ruled with equity in Virginia, and was never complained of. He returned to England in 1749, and died in London, Dec. 17, 1751.
Nurse, Rebecca 1621-
Witchcraft victim; born in Yarmouth, England, in February, 1621; emigrated to Salem, Mass., with her husband, Francis, in 1678, and was imprisoned for practising certain detestable arts called witchcraft early in 1692.
Her trial took place on June 29, and although public opinion was against her, the jury declared her not guilty.
The judges would not accept this verdict, and pointed out to the jurors that she had spoken in her trial of a certain witch who had testified against her as one of our company.
She stated that the woman to whom she had referred was imprisoned with her on the same accusation.
The jury withdrew again and found her guilty, and she was hanged, July 19, 1692.
