In 1666, Proctor moved to Salem[REF] and leased a 700 acre estate known as Groton farm (aka Downing Farm[REF]) in Salem Farms, the section of Salem Township just to the south of Salem Village [REF].
Elizabeth and some of the older children ran the tavern while Proctor and his son, Benjamin, tended to their farm extensive properties in Salem, and Ipswich [REF].
