First Settlers

First Settlers Native Americans were here first. Here's a new project concerning land deeds in Essex County. (Map).

At present I don't have a list of the first settlers that moved the five miles from Salem Town to Salem Village/Danvers in 1638; if you do, please send it along, it would be greatly appreciated. Below you'll find the founding members of the official Salem Village Church. Photo of Gen Israel Putnam House by Daderot.
