  1. 1.  Alice Unknown was born Abt 1617, England; died Abt 1651, Boston, MA.

    Notes:

    I have roughly estimated Alice's year of birth.

    Alice, our ancestor, was executed for witchcraft in Boston in 1650. She was the wife of Henry Lake. There is some information about her online at other web sites. Innocent Lake is a descendant of hers. The story is that Alice had had a baby who died, and was so overcome with grief that she kept seeing her baby and was tormented by this. It was alleged that she was being visited by a demon, and must be a witch. Complicating this circumstance was the problem that losing her baby also brought to her great feelings of guilt, because apparently she had had relations with another man before marriage and felt that she was being punished for that in the loss of her child. Rather than receive the help she needed, either repentance and forgiveness, or other good counsel and support from other women, she was caught up in the whole witchcraft scare and as result executed.


    The following notes are from Alice Marie Beard's web site [http://members.aol.com/alicebeard/lake.html]:
    BURR, George L. [editor]: Narratives of the Witchcraft Cases 1648-1706, 1914, Scribner's.
    [Collection of old essays, collected and edited by Burr, a professor of medieval history at Cornell University.]
    Quoting John HALE's "A Modest Enquiry into the Nature of Witchcraft," 1702, [one of Burr's selected narratives]:
    Pages 408 & 409:
    "Another that suffered on that account some time after, was a Dorchester Woman [in a note Burr makes it clear that Hale was speaking of Henry LAKE's wife]. And upon the day of her Execution Mr. THOMPSON, Minister at Brantry [Burr notes, Braintree, MA], and J.P. [Burr notes, probably John PHILLIPS of Dorchester according to Farmer**] her former Master took pains with her to bring her to repentance. And she utterly denyed her guilt of Witchcraft: yet justified God for bringing her to that punishment: for she had when a single woman played the harlot, and being with Child used means to destroy the fruit of her body to conceal her sin and shame, and although she did not effect it, yet she was a Murderer in the sight of God for her endeavours, and shewed great penitency for that sin; but owned nothing of the crime laid to her charge."
    Page 409-410, note:
    "In Hale's account there seems some confusion with the case of Mary Parsons." . . . "And two or three [women accused as witches] of Springfield, one of which confessed; and she said the occasion of her familiarity with Satan was this: She had lost a Child and was exceedingly discontented at it and longed; Oh that she might see her Child again! And at last the Devil in likeness of her Child came to her bed side and talked with her, and asked to come into the bed to her that night and several nights after, and so entred into covenant with Satan and became a Witch." . . . "This was the case of Mary Parsons and her husband Hugh, whom she accused (1651). See Drake, Annals of Witchcraft, pp.64-72, and especially the appended papers of Hugh Parson's case, pp.219-258. The originals of these papers are now in the New York Public Library. Others, from the Suffolk court file, are printed in the N.E. Hist. and Gen. Register," XXXV, 152-153.]
    [**NOTE: Another researcher, Benjamin Lake Noyes, surmised that "J.P." was John POPE, husband of Alice POPE.]
    Pages 408 & 409, note:
    Burr quotes Nathaniel Mather as writing on Dec. 31, 1684, to his brother Increase talking about Alice LAKE; "H. LAKE's wife, of Dorchester, whom the devil drew in by appearing to her in the likenes, and acting the part of a child of hers then lately dead, on whom her heart was much set." BURR notes his source as "The Mather Papers."

    Notes:

    The following notes are from John O. Austin's "Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island."

    David [Lake] was a freeman at Portsmouth 27 Feb 1669 [I found the date of 16 Oct 1668], and his earmark (for his livestock) was recorded 29 Mar 1669. On 22 Sep 1679 he bought land on the Taunton River (in Dighton, Somerset, and Freetown, MA) and also at Sippican (Rochester, MA) and Acushnet (New Bedford, MA). In 1689 he was a proprietor at Dartmouth, and a Selectman at Tiverton on 28 Jul 1694 and again in 1698. On 16 Mar 1696 and in 1698 he was Town Clerk of Tiverton. On 11 Mar 1702 he was Moderator of the Tiverton Town Meeting. On 15 Jun 1709 he, then of Little Compton, deeded to Zaccheus Butts his land rights in Dorchester and Stoughton, MA, which had been inherited from his uncle Thomas (probably Lake).

    "Thomas LAKE [Henry & Alice's son] ... was brought up in the family of his uncle, Thomas LAKE of Dorchester. ... He was a soldier under Capt. Benjamin CHURCH in Philip's War, as was his brother David. ... On 1 Nov 1676, Plymouth Colony granted 100 acres at Puncatest (Tiverton) to David and Thomas LAKE for their services in Philip's War, of which David was to have 60 acres (Plymouth Col. Rec.). This land was afterwards included in the bounds of the Pocasset purchase, with the result that a bitter dispute arose between the Lakes and the Pocasset proprietors." (source: MORIARTY, G. Andrews: The Early Rhode Island LAKEs, published July 1935 in The American Genealogist and New Haven Genealogical Magazine, Vol. XII, No. 1, pp. 17-24.)

    Notes:

    The following notes are excerpted from the book "John Butts: His Ancestors and Some of His Descendants," by Alison Butts, Poughkeepsie, NY, 1898, pp. 23 - 24:
    Some time after his marriage, John Butts moved from Rhode Island and settled in the easterly part of what is now the town of Washington, Dutchess County, New York, then called Crom Elbow Precinct. Oct. 4, 1748, he purchased a tract of land containing 200 acres of Isaac Thorn, one of the early settlers of that county. This original deed is now in the possession of Mr. J. DeWitt Butts, of Rochester, New York, and by his courtesy I am able to insert a copy of it. (Mr. J. DeWitt Butts is a great grandson of Aaron Butts, who was one of the executors of the will of John Butts.) John Butts owned this land with other land adjoining until his death, and it is mentioned in his will, a copy of which is also inserted. It is located in the east part of the town of Washington, Dutchess County, New York. The locality has long been known as "Butts Hollow."
    The easterly line of the land purchased from Isaac Thorn is the division line between the towns of Amenia and Washington. By his will, John Butts divided his lands between his sons Thomas and Aaron, and it has since been further changed-parts taken from and added to.
    The principal parts are now (1898) owned by the heirs of Cyrus Duncan and the heirs of Jesse Green. The Duncan farm is wholly within the boundaries of the Thorn land, its northeast corner being the northeast corner of the Thorn land. There is a tradition in the Butts family that John Butts took this land in payment of wages for carpenter work in building a house for Isaac Thorn at the rate of an acre of land for a day's work. The Thorn house was located near the village of Mechanic in the Town of Washington, and is referred to in the history of Dutchess County published in 1888, as follows:
    "There were three brothers of the Thorns, of whom Isaac was the oldest, and, we are led to think, the possessor of the most land. He built a gambrel roofed house upon the hill east of the Brick Meeting House."

    One genealogy says this John married second to Patience Brayton, in 1752. However, Patience may have married his son or nephew. The marriage record identifies him as John Butts of Tiverton, and by this time John would have been in NY.

    John married Alice Wodell 26 Oct 1727. Alice (daughter of Gershom Wodell and Sarah Mott) was born 18 Apr 1705. [Group Sheet]
