Name given on Birth Certificate is Josaphata. This was the name of the church that her mother helped to establish. While her mother intended to name her Josaphine, the priest who baptised her took it upon himself to name her Josaphata when he filed the record of birth. Josephine never went by the name of Josephata and only learned of this being her name when she filed for marriage. Upon learning of this, she filed for a legal name change to Josepine.
Josephine has a scar on the left side of her face as a result of a near fatal car accident she was in before she was married. She was returning home from a party with some friends, it was late at night and it was snowing. On a long stretch of road a group of drunk men had parked their truck. With such low visibility, the driver of the vehicle Jo was in didn't see it. The back end crashed into the windsheild, striking Jo's face. She named her first son, Ted, after the doctor who operated on her after the accident.

Rebecca (Towne) Nurse to her accusers:
"You do not know my heart. The Lord knows I have not hurt them: I am an innocent person."
"I am innocent as the child unborn, but surely, what sin hath God found out in me unrepented of, that He should lay such an affliction on me in my old age." (Salem Witch Trials of 1692)
Rebecca (Towne) Nurse was an older citizen of Salem, Massachusetts, known for her virtue and piety, at the time of the tragedy which took her life. During the Witch Hysteria of 1692, Rebecca was taken from her bed by friends, (she had been very ill), and was taken to trial for possible witchcraft. Those who witnessed her arrest, say she was bewildered and shocked by the charges. She was eventually found guilty (falsely accused) and executed by hanging on 19 July 1692, at the age of 71.
The original verdict was one of innocence to the charges, but upon a frenzied uproar by her young accusers, the jury was sent back out for deliberation, wherein they came back with a guilty verdict.
Rebecca's last words at her trial were: "I can say before my Eternal Father I am innocent, and God will clear my innocency." (Rebecca Nurse, March 24, 1692, from the Reverend Parris' account of the examination at Salem Village Meeting House.)
Her husband and many of her neighbors and friends signed a petition for her release, witnessing to her moral character and decency. This petition was ignored.
She also had trouble hearing, and could not always understand or answer the questioning correctly - which many believe attributed to the final guilty verdict.
Before her execution, Rebecca and others were excommunicated from the Church in Salem - an act which must have greatly distressed her faithful soul. Nevertheless, from her own words, we know that she knew of her innocence and of her standing before her God.
Historians believe that Rebecca may have been targeted because her husband was a prominent citizen in Topsfield, involved in the ongoing dispute over land boundaries along the border of Salem Village on Putnam family land. Her husband Francis was also an outspoken leader of a committee that believed the Reverend Parris should be removed as minister.
The Putnams were the leader faction supporting Reverend Parris. Their young daughter Annie Putnam was Rebecca's main accuser. In addition, Rebecca was a local midwife and one of her clients had had several miscarriages. She accused Rebecca of causing them.
Family history/lore, states that after her execution, Rebecca and Francis' youngest son Benjamin retrieved her discarded body by nightfall, so that she could receive a secret Christian burial on their homestead. A monument to this dear woman and grandmother stands at the Nurse homestead in Danvers, Massachusetts, in the family cemetery. | TOWNE, Rebecca (I3714)

Letter from Dora Ella & V.J. Miget, dated 1/15/76:
Dear Jo & Jim:
Your letter came yesterday, so I tossed out the letter I had started a few days ago.
We are sorry to hear about Mr. Epperson's death. All who knew him will surely miss him. He was the sort of man who walked softly but left big footprints; spoke softly, but you remembered what he said.
Many times there is a great man living among us, yet we don't realize he is great until he is gone. We take them for granted, when they are close to us. Some are een referred to as "mild-mannered" when indeed, they are "well-mannered". Because they do not talk loud and show off, we think people are not paying attention. How many times we have known, seen and heard a bigot make people feel bad or small with his bragging. He tries to have the floor and be the center of attraction. When he walked away, do you remember what he said: If so, had it added anything to your life? There are those kind.....
Then there are the Mr. Epperson's. I remember how his eyes twinkled when he told a story, then little wrinkles around his eyes grew deeper as he smiled; which he did often.
I remember how he spoke about the land as if he were very close to i; and how he spoke about the livestock as if they were his friends. Somehow one had visions of rolling hills covered in green grass, which rippled as the soft breezes blew by; about a blue sky with a few puffy clouds rolling across the face of a brilliant sun. He spoke of the ponds, the streams, the lakes where he loved to fish.
* Dora Ella has confused this with the way your grandfather loved to relate the stories you boys and your Dad brought back from your fishing trips.
He loved your three boys dearly, for he spoke of them with such pride and devotion. Sometimes he told talkes on them, teasing them abou ttheir short-comings, but he still spoke with respect and love. He was so delighted when a few small fish were caught; he was pleased when the boys pitched in to help clean them. He told us of a story once after one of the fishing trips aobut the "big one who got away". One of the boys had stepped in the stream duirng the escitement, and they tried to get him dried out before thye got home. The water was shallow, and there was no danger; but it's not easy to explain those things to parents, expecially a mother. He didn't want the boy scolded because they had had such a great day.
How do you remember these things: Because when Mr. Epperson spoke he had something to say. And people listened and learned from him. All our lives have been touched in some way by him. He had great wisdom about many things. I remember, too, the great game of bridge he played; he taught me many things about the game, sometimes without realizing it. he loved people, loved children, and he loved babies. Do you remember how taken he was with Karen? He held her and called her a "beautiful little lady:. Of course, I agreed.
Remember him? Oh! Yes, with great affection! Miss him? All of you will. Noone will ever take his place or begin to fill the void. Grieve for him? No! Never! He would have all of you standing together, loving each other and caring for each other, and enjoying the wealth of wonderful memories he has left for you all. | EPPERSON, Harry Leonard (I2877)

The sister of Rebecca Nurse and Mary Estey, both of whom were convicted of witchcraft and hanged during the Salem Witch Trials. Sarah was accused herself and condemned and jailed.
Sarah's parents, William and Joanna Towne, were married in St. Nicholas' church. "In this church, founded in A.D. 1123, dedicated to St. Nicholas, in 1251, and still retaining the name were married, March 25, 1620, William Towne and Joanna Blessing, and here their six first children were baptised." William and Joanna (Blessing) Towne emigrated to Salem, Massachusetts in 1635. They had two more children in Salem.
Birth/Baptism: 3 day, 7 month, 1648 (3 Sept, their calendar began in March)
Sarah Towne first married Edmund Bridges, son of Edmund and Alice Bridges, at Salem, Massachusetts, on 11 Jan 1659/60. He died by 1682, and Sarah married second Peter Cloyes, son of John and Abigail Cloyes.
On April 4, 1692, a conspiracy complaint was filed against Sarah Cloyse. On April 11, 1692, she was arrested. She was examined before Thomas Danforth (the deputy governor), Issac Addington (the secretary of the province), John Hawthorne, Major Samuel Appleton, James Russell, Captain Samuel Sewall, and Jonathan Corwin. The last five were Assistants to the Governor and were members of the upper legislative chamber. She refused to confess. In response to testimony by John Indian, she said: "Oh! You are a grievous liar." She was imprisoned at Salem and was later moved to Boston.
Sarah's sister, Rebecca (Towne) Nurse, was executed for witchcraft by the government on July 19, 1692 at Salem. Sarah's sister Mary (Towne) Estey (or Eastey) was hanged on September 22, 1692, with seven others accused of witchcraft. Sarah defended her sisters, and was accused herself of witchcraft but was never indicted. On January 3, 1693, the Superior Court of Judicature at Salem dismissed the charges against her. Her husband paid the prison fees. They left Salem and moved to Marlborough, Massachusetts. The later moved to Sudbury, Massachusetts. Years later, after the mania had passed, the preachers involved asked forgiveness, and the government made restitution to the families. | TOWNE, Sarah (I3719)
