(Oct 3, 2008) As U.S. President George W. Bush prepares to leave
one of the most controversial presidencies in history, he might
consider that his legacy begins at least better than that of his
relatives who participated in 1692 with the Salem Witch Trials,
according to a trials researcher.
David Nelson, the owner of the family-history group Bloodlines of
Salem (http://www.bloodlinesofsalem.org/), said on Oct. 3 that the
president is an 8th great-grandson of Mary Parker who was hanged
during the trials. But, his trials relationship with numerous other
participants surprised Nelson more so.
"Because so many trials participants lived in the relatively
unpopulated parts of the Salem area, their descendants are often
surprised to learn that they're related to several participants who
might have opposed each other during the trials, but whose families
married later," Nelson said. "But, the president is the most related
descendant I've researched.
His ancestors and relatives were deeply
involved in the trials from accusation to execution."
The president is related to as many as 217 of the almost 1,500 trials
participants including jurors, marshals and constables who accused
others, or were accused, of witchcraft. He and Nelson are cousins, and
share several trials relatives. The trials resulted in the deaths of
20 defendants.
Since becoming president in 2001, writers have reported about Bush's
occult history including his secret-society memberships with the
176-year-old Skull and Bones fraternity, the 136-year-old Bohemian
Club and Grove fraternity, and the 54-year-old Bilderberg Group
conference. Photographers have published images of him showing the
"Horned Hand" sign of Satanic greeting.
Nelson's report is the first time that the president's trials
relationships have been published, but similarly horrific
family-history facts about the president were published in the last
five years:
--News correspondents John Buchanan in rural Georgia and Stacey
Michael in New Orleans reported in 2003 that the president was a
paternal grandson of U.S. Sen. Prescott Bush who was an owner of
businesses which helped finance Nazi leader Adolph Hitler, and died in
1972 (Buchanan, John and Stacey Michael. "Bush/Nazi Link Continued."

Retrieved Sept. 23, 2008.).
--Researchers Bruce and Kristine Harrison in Waimea, Hawaii, reported
in 2004 that the president is a relative of Romanian Prince of
Wallachia Vladislav III "the Impaler" Dracula who impaled almost
100,000 people, and died in 1476 (Sedensky, Matt. "Genealogists call
Bush and Kerry kin; Big Isle researchers claim the president and his

Retrieved Sept. 22, 2008.).
--Author Eve LaPlante in Westchester, N.Y., reported in 2004 that the
president is a descendant of convicted heretic Anne Hutchinson who was
excommunicated in Newton, Mass., and died in 1643 (LaPlante, Eve. "Our
Lady of the Hutch." New York: The New York Times. Sept. 19, 2004.

Retrieved Sept. 22, 2008.).
--Political blogger Joseph Cannon in Los Angeles reported in 2006 that
the president might be a maternal grandson of the British occultist
Aleister Crowley who called himself "the Beast 666," and died in 1947
(Cannon, Joseph. "George W. Bush, Barbara Bush and Aleister Crowley."

Retrieved Sept. 22, 2008.).
Nelson said also that U.S. Vice President Cheney is a descendant of
Susannah Martin who was hanged during the trials. Evidence of a trials
relationship wasn't found for Republican presidential nominee Sen.
John McCain or vice-presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin, or
Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama or vice-presidential
nominee Sen. Joseph Biden.
Nelson reported in 2007 his research of "Harry Potter" actor Tom
Felton's trials relationship with several participants.
*Bloodlines of Salem is the place where visitors share ideas and
information about the Salem Witch Trials of 1692, its participants and
their families. Many of us have researched and proved our descents
from one or more of the participants. The trials unfolded more than
three centuries ago and continue to figure prominently in the studies
of history, law and religion. As amateur and professional
Salemologists, however, our study of the trials isn't limited to our
lineages. While the facts about our infamous ancestors might be the
focus of our work, it's the celebration of their memories and
mysteries that continue to fascinate new generations of their families
and the public. We welcome you to explore with us.
