Biographical History
Samuel Parris was the minister in Salem Village, Massachusetts, during the witchcraft controversy. His preaching shaped the village's interpretation of the "afflictions." The son of a wealthy British merchant, Parris dropped out of Harvard College in 1673, failed at running an inherited Barbados plantation, and decided to seek a clerical position in 1685. After prolonged negotiations, he accepted a call to Salem Village in 1689. His six years there were marked by haggling over delinquent salaries, the provision of firewood, and the transfer of land to Parris for a parsonage.
