I'm looking for information about the Nathaniel Felton and Mary Skelton petition in support of John and Elizabeth Proctor: why they wrote it, how everyone on the list knew each other, how risky it was, and if there was any fallout, if anyone knows anything about what appears to be the missing piece of it.
I'm most interested in the personalities of the people involved. For background, I believe I'm a descendant of the Marshes, who were neighbors and co-signers (and the Skeltons, via Samuel Marsh).
I'd appreciate anything anyone could share.
Thank you,
Alex
For reference, the petition:
