[QUOTE="USincognito, post: 73946111, member: 21511"] I wasn't really aware of the city of Amesbury, but most of Northern Essex County, Massachusetts has eschewed hotels beyond a few bed and breakfasts despite loving tourist dollars and the only hotel close to where I wanted to be was there. It was a wonderfully serendipitous choice. It turned out that 7 of the city first settlers that are listed on a monument at the site of the first burying ground were my ancestors. Anthony Colby George Martin William Huntington Valentine Rowell Henry Blaisdell Jarrett Haddon John Weed [ATTACH]256486[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]256487[/ATTACH] George Martin was the husband of Susannah North Martin who was one of the 19 innocents murdered by the Salem witch hysteria. She is commemorated at all the memorials (the two in Salem and one in Danvers) and has a nice monument in Amesbury that's off the beaten path right near a family's yard. [ATTACH=full]256489[/ATTACH] Thomas Macy built a house that stands to this day. When he moved to Nantucket (along with another ancestor of mine, Tristram Coffin Sr.) he sold the house to my 10th ggf Anthony Colby. The house remained in the Colby family for the next 300 years.
