I can try working on that….but it's not gonna be something you can get quick results on. That far back, it's gonna take a LOT of research time.
Didn't say that I believed the ergot theory….just brought up that that's the current "explanation" for why the Trials happened.
I had relatives in the Mass. Bay Colony at that time so I will do some research but, like I said, not something that will give quick results, necessarily…especially if we're being careful to be as accurate as possible with old records that are often contradictory.
Ergot poisoning used to be called St. Anthony's Fire. You can learn about it here:

I do as well & there were certainly some accusers that had/could have had alterior motives. Can't remember which one, but one of the accusers were in a land dispute with one of the accused. Was that dispute the real reason for the accusation….or something else.
I've got to get some sleep so I'm gonna pack it in for the night. God bless you patriots who have the stamina to keep digging.
Before I go, though, I want to float a question just in case Q comes back for Q&A part deux…
Q,
You mentioned the Fed structure would change. Does that mean the rumors that we're going back to the Gold Standard are true?
