Just found out I'm related to a Salem Witch, AMA

Gramps and I were talking about the family genealogy today, and our cousins, the Corys/Coreys came up as a topic of discussion. Turns out Giles Corey was a cousin of mine, albeit long dead. [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giles_Corey_%28Salem_witch_trials%29#Arrest.2C_examination_and_refusal_to_plead[/url] [quote]Giles Corey (1621 – September 19, 1692) was accused of witchcraft along with his wife Martha Corey during the Salem Witch Trials (1692-1693). After being arrested for witchcraft, Corey refused to enter a plea of guilty or not guilty. He was subjected to pressing in an effort to force him to plead — the only example of such a sanction in New England history — but instead died after two days of torture.[/quote] He was pretty bad ass, refusing to confirm or deny acquisitions of witchcraft against him during his pressing, instead demanding they pile more weight on him. [quote]As a result of his refusal to plead, on September 17, Sheriff George Corwin led Corey to a pit in the open field beside the jail and in accordance with the above process, before the Court and witnesses, stripped Giles of his clothing, laid him on the ground in the pit, and placed boards on his chest. Six men then lifted heavy stones, placing them one by one, on his stomach and chest. Giles Corey did not cry out, let alone make a plea. After two days, Giles was asked three times to plead innocent or guilty to witchcraft. Each time he replied, "More weight." More and more rocks were piled on him, and the Sheriff from time to time would stand on the boulders staring down at Corey's bulging eyes. Robert Calef, who was a witness along with other townsfolk, later said, "In the pressing, Giles Corey's tongue was pressed out of his mouth; the Sheriff, with his cane, forced it in again."[12] Three mouthfuls of bread and water were fed to the old man during his many hours of pain. Finally, Giles Corey cried out "More weight!" and died. Supposedly, just before his death, he cursed Sheriff Corwin and the entire town of Salem.[13] He was 71.[/quote] Go Giles! Really though, he was probably at odds with some community members over a past incident in which he severely beat a farmhand, who later died from his injuries. He's inspired some metalcore [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzI8GboCdl4[/url] I Like Trains also made a song about him [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osCPOVU8IBo[/url] So, sp00ky family skeltals for progo.

              I'm related to someone famous from history who was killed on the same day I was born, but I refuse to be straight forward about it since I like making people guess.

              • You know that was just a bunch of regular people tripped out on drugs, right? So basically you're telling me that you're related to a drug addict that was burned alive. K.
