Governor’s - Washington Mayflower

Twenty-four Mayflower Descendants attested they have ancestors involved tin the 1692-93 Witch Trials of Salem, Massachusetts.(Continued from page 3)coming to an end. More stress!This was a very litigious society, using courts to resolvedisputes. There were disputes over property lines, grazing rights,and church privileges to name a few. (Salem Village residentswere considered quarrelsome.) When the Colony Charter wassuspended, the courts were also suspended, leaving many issuesunresolved.In October of 1692, as more prominent people were beingaccused, prominent ministers began speaking out. They believedconfessions were being coerced, and spectral evidence was calledinto question.Governor Moellendorf thanked Dr. McNally for her enjoyableand thought-provoking program and presented her with acertificate of appreciation.Bylaws Committee Chair, Margaret Spangler, introduced theBylaws Committee and explained the proposed revisions to theBylaws, Article III. Members were given ballots upon arrival. Itwas moved by Margaret and seconded by Nick Parrott that we putthe revisions to a vote. There were five separate items to approveon the ballot by a yes or no vote: Section 5 – Transfers and DualMemberships; Section 2.c. – Membership Classes; Section 3.b. –Junior Member; Section 3.c. – Life Member; Section 6.b. –Reinstatements.Steve Arnold challenged the ballot vote, which required fiveseparate tallies, and suggested we vote only once with a show ofhands. We could vote yes if we approved all five revisions or no ifwe did not. This was done, and there were two no’s. Everyoneelse voted to approve all five revisions. Motion Passed to AmendBylaws, Article III.
