When COVID hit a few years back, I suddenly found myself quarantined with lots of extra time on my hands. Like many others around the globe, I kept myself busy by researching my family roots. This journey led me to find out many interesting things about my ancestry. I discovered that I am a descendant of Roger Conant, the founder of Salem, Massachusetts, as well as two of the women who were persecuted during the witchcraft trials of 1692. My digging also led me to another fascinating find. It turns out that my distant Essex County relatives once owned land in the little town of Rowley The spot where they lived is now the renowned Village Pancake House. I couldn’t wait to find out more!
