John- b. 14 Nov. 1656, d.s.p. 26 Sept. 1689. John is the one whom the aged Mrs. Bradbury was convicted of bewitching in 1692, so that he became crazed and prematurely died. His brother William's testimony at the trial shows that the proposed match of John and Jemima True was broken off by his father and John became melancholy and at times insane. The Carr family furnishes the connection with the Salem witch trials as Mary's husband James Bailey was the first minister in Danvers and her youngest sister Ann married Thomas Putnam and played a major role in the witchcraft trials (their daughter Ann was one of the most active "afflicted children").
