  • * 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.

    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!

    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 TH-cam channel enriches what is left of my life.

    I so enjoyed this, especially the pictures of you and your 5th great grandfather. When my son was little I felt like he resembled no one in either family. Then I saw a picture of my paternal grandfather and his brothers and sisters as children. In the face of his brother, Jehu, was my son.

    Linda, This I love..... so my family Robert Goodell came to America on the Ship Elizabeth from England in 1634. They owned 500 acres of land in Salam. So I am a Great Migration family member. I have combed the city of Salam and cemeteries looking for relatives. It is interesting that you said you imagined your relatives walking the streets. When I am in The Salam area.... I have this feeling... of home. (Not trying to sound creepy).
    My many times great Uncle is Samuel Sewell one of the witch trials judges who later wrote his repentance that can be found in the book ‘Salam Witch Judge’ by Eve LaPlante . I am the recipient of a family genealogy from 1634 to my generation.
    My family eventually migrated to Illinois in 1837.
    Please do more of these videos!

    • @newenglandfineliving
      @newenglandfineliving  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      How exciting! Do you know if Samuel Sewell is connected to Fort Sewell in Marblehead at all? You do not sound creepy at all! I totally get it. Also, my father and my husband's father moved to this area from Canada and Connecticut, not realizing their families were in New England in the 1600's and they returned to their roots too! I think New England draws people back for sure!

    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.

    I loved this video!! I grew up in Salem. I lived on Orange St. which is to the left of The Custom House. We lived at 83 Essex St. When the Custom House was closed, we would climb the fence and play in the grassy area (80's). A security guard caught us once and said as long as we don't hurt anything, we can play back there. We felt like we had a duty to protect it. The Salem, Common, Pickering/Derbys Wharf, The Willows, Down Town Salem, they were all our playground. I truly miss it!! My 9th Great-Grandfather was PHILIP McINTIRE. He was a Scottish highlander who was captured during the Battle of Dunbar (1650). Philip was sent to the Saugus Iron Works to work as an indentured servant. I got to visit the Saugus Iron Works when we were in town to visit a few yrs. ago (2016). I stood out front and very unexpectedly..cried. I felt amazed and gratefull for all of the obstacles my ancestors overcame for me to stand where I stood that day. I stood close to where my ancestor once lived and worked over 350 yrs. ago. Absolutely amazing to me. Thank you for sharing all of your beautiful videos. The New England style and places you share bring joy to my heart.

    • @newenglandfineliving
      @newenglandfineliving  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      What a wonderful story! Thank you so much for sharing. I agree, when I am following in the footsteps of my ancestors, I too feel very grateful. You taught me something! I did not know the Saugus Iron works were that old. I have never been there. Thanks for stopping by my channel!

    Linda, I am so glad to have found your channel. Your interests validate my own - specifically love of decorating your home in a style that is much more elegant than the country farmhouse I was copying, your love of gardening and nature, and even the way you push furniture around as you redecorate! I have been "thrifting" since I was a child going to the local Goodwill with my mother because it was the only place we could afford to buy anything, and I love that you show us what you found and where you have placed it in your home. Now when I go thrifting and am trying to decide whether or not to buy a particular item, I ask myself, "What would Linda do?" I am shamelessly coping your decorating style and finding it exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much for being 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!🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

    • @newenglandfineliving
      @newenglandfineliving  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      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)

It is currently on my bucket list and hopefully I will be able to visit some day. Your videos are a true inspiration. I’m so glad I found you on You Tube and I’ve enjoyed the journey of your new home renovation and its history. What a beautiful home you have! Keep up the good work Linda!

    I loved this Linda. My family was also involved in the Witch Trials. My 8th great grandfather was Deacon Edward Putnam Sr. Unlike your family who wrote a letter to ask to pardon John Proctor, Putnam examined the girls accused of witchcraft and agreed they were witches!! My family lived in Salem and surrounding towns for many years, and my Mother was actually born there as well in 1925. Thank you again!! I have told you before our ancestors must have known one another!! As a flight attendant for many years we went to Marblehead alot and I still have friends who live there. Such a fun town!!

      @@newenglandfineliving hi again Linda. My Mother's family left very early on as her father's Seafood Restaurant failed in the early 30's due to the depression. But I do think our other ancestors crossed paths in many towns. On both of my grandmother's sides I go back, like you, to Plymouth, then to Middlesex County, North Shore, Haverhill (Hannah Emerson Duston, the famous Indian scalper) is my 8th great grandmother. My family were Wentworth's of NH and founded early Plantations and Towns in Maine in the early 1700's. Like you, I am fascinated by our Colonial History, and that is why I was drawn to your You Tube Channel. I am also obsessed with England and I am teaching British History this fall in Adult Ed classes. I would love to drive to your store in Peterborough when it opens. I have looked for it but I cannot find it yet. I lived in Cape Elizabeth, under the Lighthouse at Two lights for 32 years and I am now in Scarborough . I would move back to Massachusetts if my partner would consider it. I am a native of Belmont. Thank you for reading this long text Linda. I love your videos!! It would be lovely to meet you at some point.

      @@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.

There is something so heartwarming to me about it and I don't know why.

    I enjoyed this video and the history of your family and of the towns. I have a passion for ancestry history. I can track our family history to the 1600’s. (In the United States) I live in Dover, De. Lots of old history here too. Especially since we are called the “First State”. My direct line is connected to Lord Baltimore Calvert. The founder of Maryland. The State of Maryland’s Flag is a mixture of the Calvert family crest and the Crossland Family Crest. Those were his Father’s and his Mother’s Family combined. They came over from England and I can get the family line to the 1400’s in England. The castles that both of their families lived in are still standing and are used as Museums these days.
    My Mother held the position of the State of Delaware’s President of “The Colonial Dames of the 17th Centuries”, another social club similar to the DAR. As you know you have to have relatives that served in the America Revolution. The Colonial Dames have to have families traced back to the 1600’s. Many of our early ancestors were Quakers who came to America to practice their faith. In Delaware my family are known for establishing the first Methodist Church in the 1700’s. And at this church was held the very first ever communion of the Methodist Faith. And it’s the only church that has served the Methodist Faith and no other Faiths and is still standing. For a few years I had volunteered there. And I wish I could share the pictures where on a Christmas Eve service my Mother and I were definitely visited by our ancestors. I have the pictures to prove it. And I feel very grounded and in touch to something very spiritually. If you get what I am saying. I have enjoyed following your channel since I discovered it. You do such a good job. And you’re one of my favorite channels.

I grew up in Allston a section of Boston until my middle twenties and miss all the history and beauty this state has.
