SOLVED. Murder mystery in early New England. [s]

[Debra R. Shadoff]

I'm looking for a book series set in 1600's New England (Maine, I think). The main character is a travelling weaver that either starts out or becomes a widower and when he remarries his wife is accused of witchcraft. I think the wife was brought up as a Quaker. Female author. 3-4 books in the series. I read the last book within the past 5 years.

I believe the series you are looking for is:A Simple Murder by Eleanor Kuhns. Description of the first book:
Five years ago, while William Rees was still recovering from his stint as a Revolutionary War soldier, his beloved wife died. Devastated, Will Rees left his son, David, in his sister's care, fled his Maine farm, and struck out for a tough but emotionally empty life as a traveling weaver.
