Jodie,I'm not sure how it's pronounced as I've only seen the name Ammiruhamah or Ammi Ruhamah in print.It is the name that Abigail DANE Faulkner gave him after he had saved her life from hanging when she was convicted in the Salem witch trials,She was preganant with him at the time and so was spared hanging until she gave birth.By that time the witch hysteria had blown over.The name is Biblical and means something like "let my people go free". Yes, I have some information beyond Col. Francis.I am a desc. of Col. Fransis's older sister, Hannah.What information would you like?Marg McEuen
