    Samuel Parris (1653–1720)
    Massachusetts
    Minister, businessman, and plantation owner

    The events which led to the Salem witch trials began when Parris' daughter, Betty, and her cousin, Abigail Williams, accused Tituba, the woman Parris enslaved, of witchcraft. 

    Parris beat Tituba until she confessed herself as a witch, and John Indian, her husband, began accusing others. 

    The delusion spread, and many were apprehended, most of whom were imprisoned. During the 16-month duration of the Salem witch trials phenomenon, 19 persons were hanged, and one, Giles Corey, was pressed to death.

    Parris declared that "as in our text there was one devil among the 12 disciples 'Disciple (Christianity)'… so in our churches, God knows how many Devils there are," encouraging antagonistic villagers to locate and destroy 'witches'."
