John Proctor is also my ancestor. He had three wives. His first was Martha (Unknown maiden name) they were married about 1651 and they had four children: John, Martha, Mary and Benjamin (I am descended through Benjamin); His second wife was Elizabeth Thorndike, and they were married December 1662 in Ipswich, with seven children: Elizabeth, Martha, Martha, Mary, John, Mary and Thorndike; and his last wife was Elizabeth Bassett of Lynn, and they were married about 1674 and had two children: William and Elizabeth. One of these two children was the child she was pregnant with during the trials, and her execution was stayed because she was with child. I don't know which child this was, but it saved her life from being hung with John.

From Robert Calef's "More Wonders of the Invisible World" written in 1700 after the trials and executions.
"John Proctor and his wife being in prison, the sheriff came to his house and seized all the goods, provisions and cattle that he could come at, and sold some of the cattle at half price, and killed the others, and put them up for the West Indies; threw out the Beer out of a barrel, and carried away the barrel; emptied a pot of broath, and took away the pot, and left nothing in the house for the support of the children; No part of the said Goods are known to be returned." I'm sure that the surviving wife and children suffered greatly after his death, but I've read that Elizabeth Bassett Proctor eventually remarried, but to whom is a mystery to me.
