The Associated Daughters of Early American Witches is a lineage-based membership organization for women who are directly descended from a person accused of witchcraft in the witch trials of Colonial America.[1] [2] [3] [4]

Founding

The society was established in 1985 in Washington, D.C. and formally incorporated in 1986.[5] The first organizational meeting of the society was held in April 1987 at the Mayflower Hotel with 35 charter members.[6] The organization received its 501(c)(3) organization status in 1990.[7] The society is listed in the Hereditary Society Community of the United States of America.[8] [9]

Structure

Membership in the society is by invitation only.[10] [11] To become a member, a woman must be at least sixteen years of age and able to prove lineal bloodline descent from an ancestor who was accused, tried, and/or executed for the practice of witchcraft prior to December 31, 1699, in Colonial America.[12] [13] [14]

The society is led by 8 officers, including a President General, First Vice President General, Second Vice President General, Recording Secretary General, Corresponding Secretary General, Treasurer General, Registrar General, and Historian General.[15]

The society maintains a Roll of Ancestors which currently includes the full names of over 300 ancestors.[16]

They are listed in the full registry by name, spouses (if applicable), colony, and the year of their first accusation or trial.
