REVEREND SAMUEL PARRIS
A former merchant, the Reverend Samuel Parris became the minister at Salem Village in 1689. His stern bearing and harsh sermons deepened the rifts that had already cleaved his flock. Parris�s own home was the stage for the witch-hunt that erupted in 1692; several of his relatives and close supporters were the leading accusers. Even after the hysteria subsided in 1693, Parris remained controversial. His reluctance to admit any errors salted his congregation�s wounds, and he was pressured to leave several years later.
