Individual Details
(Abt 1598 - )
Edward and his wife Sysley probably left England for the New World in search of religious freedom. However, they did not find any. They settled in Salem where Quakers were persona non grata. The Harnetts were persecuted for attending Quaker meetings and harboring Quakers. On June 29, 1658, among those persons punished for attending a Quaker meeting at Nicholas Phelpls' were Edward Harnett and wife. Some were indicted, Edward Harnett and wife Priscilla (Sysley was called Priscilla or Cecily in some records) are fined. They left the area shortly after. They sold their house, barn, and land Feb. 20, 1657/58 and disappeared. (Taken from "The History of Salem Mass." by Sidney Pearley, 1924). They moved to Rhode Island or Long Island. His son who left around the same time, shows up later in Long Island Records.
