George Jacobs, Sr, was a farmer who was accused of witchcraft during the Salem Witch Trials of 1692.
Not only was Jacobs, Sr, accused but so was his son, George Jacobs, Jr, daughter-in-law, Rebecca Jacobs and granddaughter, Margaret Jacobs.
Jacobs, Sr, was born in 1620. It is not known when exactly he came to the Massachusetts Bay Colony except that he first bought a house on November 20, 1658 in Salem Village, which is now modern day Danvers, along with ten acres of land from Richard Waters.
The house, which was built that same year, was located near the mouth of the Waters River in Danvers. He later purchased four more nearby acres, which were mostly marshland.
Hope it helps :)
