"…There were six brothers and three were Papists and three were Protestants. Their ancestors, parents, and granparents, and great-grandparents, as far as history gives an account, are said to have been eminently pious and religious people. Those of Portestant religion were greavously persecuted. One of them, to avoid being burned at the stake, was hid many months in a wood-pile, and afterward half a year in a cellar where he worked by candle light at manufactures and remained undiscovered. But his many hardships shortened his life. In 1637 four of his children, two sons and two daughters, in consequence of the persecuting spirit of that day, left their home and came over to New England and took up their abode in Salem…Their mother died before they arrived in New England. They came well provided with servants and all sorts of tools for husbandry and carpentry, and with provisions for their support for three years, out of which they helped others, whom they found in want and distress…." - Frederick Clifton Pierce, Fiske and Fiske Family, Page 34
