Three Sovereigns for Sarah is a movie made about the 1692 Salem witchcraft hysteria. I won't go into detail except to say that as an eighth great grandchild of Rebecca Towne N(o)urse I was fighting tears throughout as I viewed this accurate portrayal of my gggggggg grandmother and her two sisters, as well as the other victims of the Salem hysteria. The DVD of this movie is available through CWMARS Library system in Massachusetts, Amazon, and other sources.
One of Rebecca Nourse's daughters, Elizabeth Nourse married William Russell of Salem, MA and through the Russell line came Percy Russell, my dear old great grandmother Nellie Noble Morse's husband, who died in a railroad accident about 1909 and is buried next to "Great" and "Tompie" in Forest Hills Cemetery in Lynnfield, MA.
