Looking for Elizabeth Nurse born 18 Mar 1678 in Salem, Mass.; married Joseph Doughty 4 Dec 1707 in Salem, Mass; died 1719 also in Salem.

Elizabeth was daughter of John Nurse: born 1645- died 1 Dec 1719; married Elizabeth Very 17 Aug 1677 all in Salem.


John Nurse was the son of Francis Nurse and Rebecca Towne ( Rebecca Towne Nurse was hanged as a witch on 19 Jul 1692 Salem, Mass. She was the sister of Mary Town Estey who was also a victim of the Salem witch trials of 1692.)

Francis Nurse was born 18 Jan 1618 and died 22 Nov 1695.
The Nurse homestead is in Danvers, Mass. and is operated as a tourist site. ( They have a very nice website.) Francis and Rebecca married 24 Aug 1644 probably in Salem, Mass.

Parentage of Francis unknown by me at this time.
