Context: The John Proctor House is a historic First Period house at 348 Lowell Street in Peabody, Massachusetts.  According to local tradition, this wood frame house was occupied by John Proctor, who was convicted and hanged for witchcraft in the 1692 Salem witch trials.  However, stylistic analysis of house's construction suggests it was more likely built c. 1700 by Proctor's son Thorndike, who bought the property from Charles Downing around that time.  The house remained in the Proctor family into the mid 19th century. Richard Crispin Armitage (born 22 August 1971) is an English film, television, theatre and voice actor.  He received notice in the UK with his first leading role as John Thornton in the British television programme "North & South" (2004).  But it was his role as dwarf prince and leader Thorin Oakenshield in Peter Jackson's film trilogy adaptation of "The Hobbit" that first brought him international recognition.  Other notable roles include John Proctor in Yaël Farber’s stage production of Arthur Miller's "The Crucible", Francis Dolarhyde in the American TV series "Hannibal", Lucas North in the British TV drama "Spooks", John Porter in the British TV drama "Strike Back", and Guy of Gisborne in the British TV drama "Robin Hood".  He more recently voiced Trevor Belmont in the Netflix adaptation of "Castlevania". George Jacobs Sr. (1609–1692) was an English colonist in his 70s in the Massachusetts Bay Colony who was accused of witchcraft in 1692 during the Salem witch trials in Salem Village, Massachusetts.  He was convicted and hanged on August 19, 1692.  His son, George Jr., was also accused but evaded arrest.  Jacobs' accusers included his daughter-in-law and granddaughter, Margaret. The Crucible is a 1996 American historical drama film written by Arthur Miller adapting his play of the same title, inspired by the Salem witchcraft trials.  It was directed by Nicholas Hytner and stars Daniel Day-Lewis as John Proctor, Winona Ryder as Abigail Williams, Paul Scofield as Judge Thomas Danforth, Bruce Davison as Reverend Parris, and Joan Allen as Elizabeth Proctor.  Much of the filming took place on Choate Island in Essex, Massachusetts. Rev. Nicholas Noyes II (December 22, 1647 at Newbury, Massachusetts Bay Colony – December 13, 1717 at Salem, Massachusetts Bay Colony) was a colonial minister during the time of the Salem witch trials.  He was the second minister, called the "Teacher", to Rev. John Highinson.  During the Salem witch trials, Rev. Noyes served as the official minister of the trials. John Proctor (March 30, 1632 – August 19, 1692) was a farmer and tavern keeper in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.  He was the son of John Proctor, Sr. (1594–1672) and Martha Harper (1607–1667).  He was hanged to death on August 19, 1692 in Salem Village, Massachusetts Bay Colony during the Salem Witch Trials after being accused and convicted for witchcraft. Abigail Hobbs was a girl of about 14 to 16 years old when she was arrested for witchcraft on April 18, 1692, along with Giles Corey, Mary Warren, and Bridget Bishop.  Prior to living in Salem Village (now Danvers, Massachusetts), she and her family had lived in Casco, Maine, the frontier of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, during a time when there were many attacks by the Wabanaki Native Americans.  Her father William and stepmother, Deliverance Hobbs, were also both charged with witchcraft. The Rea-Proctor Homestead is a historic First Period house at 180 Conant Road in Danvers, Massachusetts.  It is notable not only for its age, but its association with a number of well-known individuals.  The oldest part of the house was built c. 1692 by Joshua Rea, Sr., whose son, Joshua Jr., testified at the Salem witch trials on behalf of John Proctor.  It remained in the Rea family until 1803, and from 1804 to 1806 it was owned by one of Massachusetts's leading statesmen, Timothy Pickering.  The house was updated to a Federalist style by Isaac Rea, the last of that family to own the property.  Pickering was a gentleman farmer, running agricultural experiments on the farm and taking detailed notes of his work.  He helped found the Essex Agricultural Society, the first organization of its type.  In 1812 the property was purchased by Daniel Proctor, and it has since remained in the hands of his descendants. The territory of the present United States state of New Hampshire has a colonial history dating back to the 1620s.  This history is significantly bound to that of the neighboring Massachusetts, whose colonial precursors either claimed the New Hampshire territory, or shared governors with it.  First settled in the 1620s under a land grant to John Mason, the colony consisted of a small number of settlements near the seacoast before growing further inland in the 18th century.  Mason died in 1635, and the colonists appropriated a number of his holdings.  Thomas Roberts served as the last Colonial Governor of the Dover Colony before it became part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.  In 1641 the New Hampshire colonists agreed to be ruled by Massachusetts Bay Colony, which also claimed the territory.  Massachusetts governed the New Hampshire settlements until 1680, when it became the royally chartered Province of New Hampshire.  In 1686 the territory became part of the Dominion of New England, which was effectively disbanded in 1689 following the 1688 Glorious Revolution in England.  After an interregnum under "de facto" rule from Massachusetts, Samuel Allen, who had acquired the Mason land claims, became governor.  From 1699 to 1741 the governorships of New Hampshire and the Province of Massachusetts Bay were shared. The Salem Village Historic District encompasses a collection of properties from the early center of Salem Village, as Danvers, Massachusetts was known in the 17th century.  The district includes an irregular pattern of properties along Centre, Hobart, Ingersoll, and Collins Streets, as far north as Brentwood Circle, and south to Mello Parkway.  It includes several buildings notable for their association with the 1692 Salem witch trials, which were mostly centered on individuals who lived in Salem Village.  Included in the village are the Rebecca Nurse Homestead, now a house museum, and the remains of the local parsonage, both places of relevance to the witch hysteria.
