Jen, thanks for another great comment! Belated welcome to Massachusetts. I did see the coverage of Salem and the "Negro Election Day;" thank you for reminding me about that.
Close to Salem, the Marblehead Museum has excellent writings and media in regards to slavery in early Black history in that town. https://marbleheadmuseum.org/bipoc/
Thank you for reading, Jen. Although I am not sure about William, the most notable story about the Stoughtons (Israel) and slavery is that of Dorcas the Blackmore. She became a member of the Dorchester church in 1641 and gained freedom in 1653. https://www.blackpast.org/african-american-history/dorcas-blackmore-ca-1620/
