There, he took up a job assisting an aged church pastor, hoping eventually to succeed the man. With Portland no longer inhabitable, the unemployed Burroughs made his way to Salisbury, Massachusetts. George Burroughs helped defend the town on the same ground.
The grass in Portland’s Deering Oaks Park is marked by a red shadow. Years later, that same child would help seal Burroughs’ fate. Among them was a young baby named Mercy Lewis and her parents.
Burroughs held the job until the town was nearly wiped out by Wabanaki forces two years later, in August 1676.Īfter the battle, Burroughs and his young family fled to an island in Casco Bay, foraging for food with a number of other survivors. He definitely graduated from Harvard College - now a university - in 1670, where he was remembered as a clever student and outstanding athlete.īy 1674, though never officially ordained, he’d taken up the pastoral post at Portland’s Congregational Church. He may have been born in England, Massachusetts or Virginia. Just where Burroughs was from is unknown. He moved around a lot, looking for work and dodging battles with the Wabanaki. Thanks to for initially bringing this to our attention.Like all threads running through the Salem Witch Trials, Burroughs’ story is a tangled mess, even without the dark arts accusations. The address for Seawitch Restaurant & Oyster Bar (and the upcoming North Shore Lobster Company) is 203 Newbury Street (Route 1), Peabody, MA, 01960. Seawitch Restaurant & Oyster Bar is a seafood restaurant and fish market that has been in business for at least a half century and is joining a number of old-school spots along Route 1 that have closed over recent years, including Hilltop Steak House, Weylu's, The Ship, and Route 1 Miniature Golf. The post says of the new spot (which will apparently open after some renovations to the space), ".additional focus will be given to the market which will add prepared foods to the fresh whole fish and lobster they already sell." No menu for North Shore Lobster Company has been seen as of yet, so keep checking back for updates. It looks like another longtime Route 1 restaurant is going away, and it will be replaced by a brand new spot.Īccording to a Facebook post from OctoCog, Seawitch Restaurant & Oyster Bar in Peabody is going to become North Shore Lobster Company, with the new place being under different ownership.
