Best Answer

There was no Samuel Parrish in Salem during the witch panic.

However, if there's a typo and you were asking about Samuel Parris...

Parris was the reverand of the church in Salem Village and the father and uncle respectively of the first to of the afflicted. He played up the bewitchment in the early stages, some believe, to keep the public's mind off how much they wanted to fire him. As the trials progressed, he continued to support the trials.
