According to my records, which I believe are correct because of a father who is pretty particular, my ancestor, Sarah Proctor, daughter of John and Elizabeth, was married to Edward Munnion (Munyan) 10 Aug 1700. She is the same daughter of the John Proctor of the Salem which trials. She only lived because her mother was not executed because she was pregnant.

Hey, I really hope this thread is still active or that someone is at least keeping an eye on it.

I'm a descendant of Nathaniel Felton Jr. (Technically, I'm just particular) and I've been trying to do a ton of research on both the Proctors and Feltons since I was a teenager. I'm now 22, going on 23 in October, and I'm still completely engrossed with this time period.

I noticed that in the first post of this thread, there were a LOT of books citated that I haven't even HEARD of before. I was wondering if there was a way if you could contact me and tell me how I could come across this information. I'm very particular about this portion of my ancenstory since I'm the most connected with it. The Proctors and the Feltons have been a big part of my life. To be honest, I'm dating a Proctor right now... So it's just a little ironic.

I hope somebody responds to this post!

Proctors & Felton's

You are correct that John had only 1 daughter named Sarah, however, the information that Sarah only lived because her mother was not executed because she was pregnant is incorrect.

The child born to Elizabeth (Bassett) Proctor was a son and was named after his father - John Proctor. The child was born in prison on 27 Jan 1692/1693.

Sarah Proctor, daughter of John Proctor & Elizabeth Basset, who married Edward Munion, was born 28 Jan 1675/76.

My Husband is a descendant of Jeremiah Proctor. What I would like to know is if he is the son of John Proctor or the Grandson.

Still looking for the proctor line? I have them from John Proctor born in the 1500s on down to my husband. He is a direct decendant of this line

Sarah was born far before the witch trials. Elizabeth Proctor was pregnant when she was put in jail, but she was pregnant with JOHN. Sarah was born in the 1670s, meaning that she would have been around 20 when the trials happened.

I have just started working on my family tree. My grandmother has always been proud of being a descendent of the John Proctor lineage. I am only able to work my way up to Jacob Proctor and Mary Perkins. Their son was Issac Proctor born around 1725. Would anyone have information on a Jacob Proctor? My guess would be that he was John Proctor's grandson, but from which child? Since I have become very preoccupied with this hobby I would appreciate any help.

Surnames: Gould, Proctor
I am a descendent of William Proctor Gould of Salem, Massachusetts, born October 9, 1793 to Solomon Gould and Betsey Proctor Gould. He was protegee to Congressman John McKee of Alabama and settled in Boligee, Alabama.

I am trying to work up the family tree and discover if Betsey was a descendent of John Proctor of the Salem Witch trials.

John Proctor's sons were:
1. By Elizabeth Thorndike:

A. John Proctor born 28 Oct. 1668
B. Thorndike Proctor born 15 July 1672 in Salem. He married 15 Dec 1697 to Hannah FELTON in Salem. He died 1758 in Danvers, Essex County, Massachusetts

2. By Elizabeth Bassett:

A. William Proctor, born 6 Dec 1674 or 1675. He married Jemima COLLINS 12 Nov 1727 in Lynn, Essex County, Massachusetts.
[maybe he had a prior wife? Age 52 is old for a first marriage]

B. Samuel Proctor born 11 Jan 1685 died 16 Mar 1765 [sic]
C. Elisha Proctor born 28 Apr 1687 died 11 Sept 1688
D. John Proctor born 27 Jan 1692/1693

I think William Proctor is the best bet, for obvious reasons, but my great-great-great grandfather could have also been named William for an uncle.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. If anyone wants further information on William Proctor Gould, I'll be glad to share.
