Isaac Eastey
Isaac Eastey.(November 27,1627 in Freston,England, diedJune 11,1712 in Topsfield, Massachusetts) was the husband of Mary Eastey, who was executed during the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. Isaac and Mary were both highly respected members of the Salem Village Church, and the community in general. Isaac played a significant role in the witch trials, which is often overlooked in history. Despite being one of the primary reasons for Mary's accusation, he desperately tried to clear his wife's name and put an end to the trials altogether.
== Early Life ==
Isaac had been a highly prosperous farmer throughout his life, which resulted in a large and upscale home with a generous owning of land and property. Isaac Eastey, along with his father in law Jacob Towne, were lifelong enemies of the Putnam family (who were later the main accusers in the witch trials). The tension between the two powerful families originated with bitter warfare over the ownership of woodland. Isaac and Jacob at one point snuck onto Putnam property and chopped several of their trees down. This, and several other similar incidents, led to a full on, physical confrontation between a band of Putnam men, and several Eastey men. However the Putnam clan outnumbered Isaac Eastey and his group, and the Putnam's proclaimed a victory. Despite this, the feuding over land ownership between the Eastey's and Putnam's would last nearly a century. In 1655, Isaac Eastey married Mary Towne, the couple raised eleven children together, with only three of them surviving into adulthood. Isaac Jr. (B:1656,D:1714), Joseph (B:1657,D:1739), Sarah (B:1660,D:1749).
