Is it possible that the trial of a gang of murderous pirates in Boston, Massachusetts in 1690, led to the execution of nineteen people in nearby Salem during the infamous witch trials two years later? … Pound and nine other pirates went on trial in Boston before the governor and his council in January 1690. They were found guilty and sentenced to death. However, one of the pirates, Thomas Hawkins, had friends in high places, thanks to his sisters’ marriages. Sister Elizabeth was the widow of Adam Winthrop, whose brother Wait Winthrop circulated a petition among the council for a reprieve. It was supported by Councilor John Richards, who was Elizabeth’s current spouse. Councilors John Foster and Elisha Hutchinson were married to Hawkins sisters, as was Reverend James Allen, the prominent minister of Boston’s First Church. The wealthy merchant Epaphras Shrimpton was a kinsman of Hawkins who also supported his petition.… . A fourth judge Peter Sergeant was the brother-in-law of Hawkins’ supporter and kinsman Epaphras Shrimpton.“
