Statements

Part of the North Berwick witch hunt. It involved many people and many accustions about witches meetings, specifically two separate attempts to sink the royal ships. The first to sink Queen Anne on her way home, second to trouble King James after he went to get her in Denmark.Sampson said he was part of the planning in the conspiracy to sink Queen Anne's ships on the way from Denmark and was at a meeting at the saltpans.Sampson said he was involved in trying to raise storms/winds to sink the royal ships.Pobably the same guy as Johnne Gordoun (c/egd/145), but the two names are both mentioned in Agnes Sampsoune's trial and we don't have enough to merge them.
