| Notes |
- (from "Goldthwaite Genealogy"; thanks to Kim Clements)
"Samuel Goldthwaite was, like his father, a cooper, and had his home at the west end of the Goldthwaite farm. [...]
"Samuel lived through the exciting time of Salem Witchcraft (beginning 1692), having then a family of young children. The name Goldthwaite is not found in connection with any of the trials of that period, though his near neighbors must, some of them, have been involved. If the tradition which has come down regarding the Goldthwaite of that day, and which can relate only to him, is true, it is an indication of his decided character, as well as of his good sense. The story, as preserved among his descendants in Salem, relates that one of his children, it is inferred a daughter, infected by the prevailing epidemic, began to "cry out" against some persons as bewitching her, when her father took her to the barn, administered wholesome punishment, and thus ended all further trouble of that kind in his family."
