Francis Dane was the elderly senior pastor of Andover and a highly respected leader of the community. In 1682, the congregation hired a young Harvard graduate Rev. Thomas Bernard to aid Rev. Dane with his ministerial duties in his old age. There was tension between the two about their salaries, and the two ministers reacted very differently to the witch trials of 1692. Initially, Bernard did much to aid the accusations of witchcraft in Andover, while Dane had more of his family members accused than any other family in 1692. It was Dane's early October petitions to the General Court for Pardons, signed by Rev. Barnard, taking a bold stance against the witchcraft trials by writing against "spectral evidence", and against the filing of slander suits, that are credited with ending the proceedings in Andover so quickly.
