Ipswich Family

The Ipswich family were wealthy merchants, the family headed by Martha Ipswich after the death of her husband Isaac Ipswich. Martha and Isaac had five children before his death. She married his business partner and had five more children before her death. The Ipswich clan was one of the first wealthy families to settle in Godgate, and the first one not deeply devoted to the local religion. Farmers struggling on the edges of the village distrusted and resented families like the Ipswiches and it was rumored some still practiced black magic against them.
