Discussion topic is Margaret Tilford\, Accused Witch of\nSalem. The Tilford’s had followed Presbyterian minister Rev. Thomas Clark from Scotland to the Salem area where he\nhad purchased 12\,000 acres for his congregation.

Attendees can prepare by viewing a You Tube\npresentation titled Salem Voices from the Grave – Margaret Tilford and by reading about the history of witchcraft in\nAmerica. A lengthy article also appears under her name on findagrave.com. \nFuture sessions of the club will feature books about the larger Adirondack area as well as works by local authors.\nUpcoming topics include; Charles Evans Hughes\, NY governor; Phillip Embury’s establishment of the second Methodist\nChurch in America in White Creek; and slavery in Washington County.
