Biographical History

Samuel Parris (born 1653, London, England – died February 27, 1720, Sudbury, Massachusetts) was the Puritan minister in Salem Village, Massachusetts, during the Salem witch trials. He was also the father of one of the afflicted girls, and the uncle of another. 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.
