My family was involved in the Witch Hysteria and the Boston Tea Party. A walk and talk town tour

- * note below
Hello Kindred Spirits, I'm taking a walk in two of Massachusetts's historic towns, would you like to join me? As we walk, I will share more information about how I look like my Great Grandfather who was born in the 1740s and how the same family line was involved in the Witch Hysteria, the Boston Tea Party, and the Supreme Court. What else do they have in common? They were all from the North Shore of Massachusetts and lived in Salem and Marblehead, MA.
As I follow in their footsteps, would you like to walk with me on this exterior home tour, historic town tour of Salem and Marblehead, Massachusetts, which are both beautiful travel destinations, and see where some of my ancestors lived. As I stroll around Salem, MA and Marblehead, MA I will be sharing some of my favorite New England tourist destinations such as the House of Seven Gables, that was made popular by author Nathaniel Hawthorne, the Salem Witch Museum, The Puritan Village in Salem, and the beautiful side roads and homes of Marblehead, MA.
*Video correction: I said Nathaniel Peabody when it should have been Nathaniel Hawthorne. Nathaniel Peabody was who built my childhood home and I make that verbal mistake all of the time.

That is so amazing. Glad your great grandfather tried to save his friends. So awesome that at least someone stood up for them!! You have a right to be proud!!
Yes yes. I really enjoyed this tour so much. Isn’t it special that you know about your grandfathers and their history. I love hearing the information you give us on our guided tour.
Thank you for watching! I look forward to creating more videos like this since my husband and I both I have so many different towns to visit that ancestors lived in.
I just have to tell you that I have been watching you for some time. My health is not good and my doctor has confirmed my worst fears. But those fears all drop away at the sound of your voice. I feel such a connection somehow and now I wonder if perhaps we are related generations ago. My grandmother seven generations ago purchased and eventually married an African prince sold as a slave. Their grandson Benjamin Banneker was commissioned by President Washington to lay out the city of Washington DC. It is an interesting story just like yours. I feel blessed to have found you and want you to know how much your RUclips channel enriches what is left of my life.
Excellent video !! I have such a love for Ancestry and enjoyed you sharing some of your history with us and all those beautiful homes from America's past. Thank you so much.
My pleasure! Thank you for watching!
Very nice tour . Love that area . I’m a South Shore girl . I’ve lived in many towns along this stretch of coastline . Now living in “ America’s Hometown “ of Plymouth . Thanks for sharing !
What a wonderful area! I love driving along the South shore coast! Thank you for watching!
New England in summer is just the best! The homes are so beautiful! So glad I live here in New Hampshire (knowing summer will come makes the winter bearable, LOL)!
I hear you! I must say, I do love autumn too and getting into the cozy vibe.
I love seeing all the old homes of New England. I have one too. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching! If only old homes could tell their story!
So beautiful. I haven't been to Salem since I was a teenager (I'm 71 now). I forgot how stunning the houses are. This is true Americana, witches and all! Thanks Linda, I needed that!
So enjoyed the tour. One of our favorite things to do. We always look for trees and wonder what all they have SEEN. The colors always look so vivid.
I loved the field trip! I have always been interested in the Salem witch-hunt, and also all the beautiful historic architecture. Please do more. Halloween/Fall would be great, thanks!
Thank you, I sure will!
Wonderful! Love seeing these views again. Our son and daughter in love live in Salem and work in Marblehead! Love to go as often as we can.
What a blessing to know so much about your distant ancestors. I can only go back to my great-greats, the generation before my family came to the Great Lakes area from northern Europe in the late 1800s. Thank you for sharing 😊
I love this type of videos, thanks for sharing this piece of history with us!
Thank you so much for sharing, I love the history! Would like to hear more of your stories as well 😁
thank you Linda for the tour of your beautiful place you live in. I am from western australia so it is lovely to get a glimpse of your part of the world. I hope we get to travel overseas one day again
Wow!
Just beautiful!
Hi Linda. I came across your lovely channel a few weeks ago. My son and dil moved to MA 2 years ago and recently bought their first home together in Salem. We are going to visit them in and I am so excited to see the beautiful sites that you’ve just showed us. Thank you for sharing the beauty as well as your family history.
You are so great to share this kind of educational historical memoirs of your family. I only wish I had such a history. Inspired me to find out all about my own... you never know who you might have a history worth sharing about. Thanks again... LOVE your videos!
Fascinating.
Love this.
Loved the video. I remember being there many years ago. Thank you.
Lol-one of my frequently used phrases! The was fabulous!! I enjoyed ever so much not only seeing the towns, reveling in the architecture, also learning about your family history!! Thank you SO much for sharing this was wonderful fun-my kind of FUN!!
Love the tour
I so enjoyed this video and you sharing your family's past. It's wonderful that you can walk where your ancestors walked so many years ago. They were such an integral part of the history here. Salem and Marblehead are beautiful towns.
Loved the tour. Hope you do many more.
Loved this thank you.
This was so wonderful. I enjoyed seeing and listening to your family history. You do look like your great great great etc grand father. I love history and visiting historical places. Thanks for sharing this.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the wonderful tour!!
How cool!! I love your hearing about your families history. :)
I have just discovered your youtube videos... I love your style and your personal history that is tied to an area I love so much!
More please! This was so much fun to watch. Btw, Ipswich is a beautiful town.
Oh I loved this video so much Linda!
Beautiful video... I love traveling via your videos. Your attention to detail is greatly appreciated.
Yes yes please thank you
I have never been to this part of the country. So beautiful!! Thanks for sharing.💜
What a delight! I adore Salem and enjoyed seeing the town in a different light. I will have to visit the other spots on my next trip. Thank you so much for this tour! :)
You're welcome!
Thank you for sharing! I’m going to Salem next month to visit my ancestral homestead and couldn’t be more excited. Your grandfather sounds like he was remarkable person and I definitely can see the resemblance!
Wonderful! If you don't mind me asking, what is your ancestral homestead? My husband is also a 12th generation New Englander and we keep meeting very distant relatives by asking. :-)
Linda Smith Davis - the Pickering house is the homestead and my ancestral grandfather John Pickering a carpenter from England built the home after moving there from England.
Hoping you had an amazing visit. 😊
@@WeezyWeez1984 Thank you, unfortunately I had to cancel my August trip because I learned that the Pickering house would not be open for visitors due to COVID. When I found out they would be open in October, I booked Columbus Day weekend right away. I then found out we would have to quarantine for 14 days as we are traveling from PA and considered high risk. They say the third time is the charm so I’m counting on it for next year 😊 I do look forward to seeing Salem! Maybe even Rockport.
@@Jennifer2791 awe, so sorry to hear that. Yes, third time should be a charm.
Linda I enjoyed this so much! Thank you for the tour!!!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for the tour. It has been so many years since I have visited the area.
My pleasure! thank you for watching!

Good morning! I am so glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for that beautiful video.
Lovely. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed the tour and especially enjoyed the history behind the beautiful old homes and your family “Story.” I’m a fairly new subscriber and this was a nice virtual getaway.
Thank you so much Kimberly! I plan to add more videos like this to the mix!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, love history🤚
Love this since unable to visit in person. Next best thing ! I hope one day to visit that area I'll put it on my bucket list.
Thank you for taking us along with you....so much fun!
You are so welcome!
I really loved this video. I would like to see more! I see you said that you lived in Groton. My ancestors were early founders of that town. The Cadys. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much for sharing this tour! Have been to Salem several times - since 1988. Not able to make it this year unfortunately but love the the town. The homes there and in Marblehead are amazing! The port area with gardens reminds me of downtown Portsmouth NH. Thanks also for sharing your family history. So interesting- especially the witches! I always enjoy the historic homes when open to the public - so beautiful and so much history to share. Yes, would love to see more of this type of video interspersed with your others.
Thank you! Yes, I absolutely plan on adding more like this to my channel. I travel too much out and about not to!
Loved the video,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Oh my goodness I just love the video. You are so fortunate to have all this history. I have my ancestry back to the 1700s. A lot of my ancestors were Irish, Scottish and English they came to the United States and some settled in your area. I just love researching. I have never been to your area, but would love to visit some day thank you for the tour.
I really enjoyed your New England tour. It was so interesting to hear about some of your early family, who they were, what they did & where they lived. Thank You for taking us along for the journey!
Thank you so much! I will be sharing more with some other ancestors and their towns.
Thank you....very much enjoyed this video....keep doing what you do....
Beautiful! Thank you sharing this wonderful video with us! And what a gift to have a rich account of your ancestors. Fabulous!
My pleasure! Thank you for watching Elizabeth!
I enjoyed your tour very much. Thank out for sharing. 🙏🏼
How wonderful that you know your history that far back. Thank you for sharing 💕
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing. This is so absolutly beautiful. I have to make planes to visit this area. And I would love to see more videos like that.
I loved this your of New England !Marblehead is so gorgeous. My husband and I loved our trip to Cape Cod and we wanted to drive to Salem but couldnt because of the time frame of our trip it's on our list to get up there again. Thanks for sharing it was wonderful.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Yes it is worth returning, especially off season when it is not so busy
Love to hear your connections to our nation's founding. History whether happy or not it still happened and I treasure learning more about America's creation any chance I get. Keep it coming Linda
I'm from south Louisiana but love everything New England and Witchcraft. I really enjoyed this tour and am planning a trip to Salem as soon as possible. I just found your channel today and have subscribed. Will be visiting frequently. Would love to see more like this. Thanks for sharing.
Enjoyed this so very much. Thank you for sharing your history with us. Absolutely beautiful! 🤗💕
You are so welcome!
This was lovely. Tfs your family history.
I just found your channel. Lovely tour of the north shore. I've lived on the south shore my whole life but moved to the southcoast seven years ago, Mattapoisett. If you haven't visited our little coastal town you might enjoy a day trip here. Lots of history too.
I love history. Especially old houses of New England. Thank you.
Beautiful video! This is the sort of thing I did and I lived in New England and in Virginia. I lived in Williamsburg Virginia for four years. I lived in Groton Connecticut for four years. I loved going to old Mystic Seaport in Connecticut. We also loved Newport and Boston. In Williamsburg, we were part of the historic triangle with Yorktown in Jamestown. Among those in the plantations, I had a field day. I just wish we had had phones back in those days so I could’ve recorded all of it. Thank you for this video!🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Virginia is beautiful as is the other places you lived! I hope to get back to Williamsburg some day soon myself. I have not seen it for over 40 years. (OMG that make me sound and feel ancient LOL)
Thank you for sharing
My pleasure!
Linda, you are a true New Englander... this was a fun tour!
Fascinating! You're so fortunate to be able to trace your family back so far.
It has taken so many years, but I do enjoy it!
I woke up early and watched your video (new to your channel.) I was mesmerized. The enthusiasm and quiet demeanor you displayed was a lovely way to start the day. Fascinating! Thank you, Linda, for sharing your family history and giving us a peek at some important historical areas. And, you have a lovely, soothing voice! I'm smiling. Take good, good care.
Wow, thank you! I hope to do more like it, especially since there is no shortage of areas we, my husband and I, can visit to follow in the footsteps of our ancestors.
Thank you, Linda for sharing your family history and historical areas. The video was very special with taking the tour in the early morning. More of these walking tours would be great! Jane
Glad you enjoyed it, I will certainly be making more.
👍Enjoyed this video tour very much and you do resemble your relative in the picture. It is so interesting to hear someone's family's history. Thanks for sharing.
Yes - more please! I really enjoyed your walk and talk and would like to see more of MA. I lived in CT for 10 years and miss New England. My mother was born in Braintree and have visited MA many times and love it. Would like to visit Salem and Marblehead some day - beautiful, quaint towns. Thank you, Linda.
More to come I promise! Thank you for watching!
Loved your video! ❤️

Really enjoyed this, love from South Staffordshire England
Hello from New England! I will have to see if I can find any ancestors from that area of England. My husband and I hope to visit parts of England since we have found many ancestors there as well.
So nice!
Thank you! 😊
I also live on the east coast but a bit further north. ;) Nova Scotia. I have always been intrigued by Salem, Mass and its witches.Hocus Pocus was an awesome Halloween movie and what better place to film then those shots in the graveyard. Thank you for this Linda. It was a nice virtual visit.
Love seeing history of homes etc.
Fantastic! More to come!
