Samuel Parris

(Parris, Samuel, 1653-1720)

Samuel Parris (1653 – 27 February 1720) was a Puritan minister in the Province of Massachusetts Bay. Also a businessman and one-time plantation owner, he gained notoriety for being the minister of the church in Salem Village, Massachusetts during the Salem witch trials of 1692. Accusations by Parris and his daughter against an enslaved woman precipitated an expanding series of witchcraft accusations. (From Wikipedia)
