From June through September of 1692, nineteen men and women, allhaving been convicted of witchcraft, were carted to Gallows Hill, abarren slope near Salem Village, for hanging. Another man of overeighty years was pressed to death under heavy stones for refusing tosubmit to a trial on witchcraft charges. Hundreds of others facedaccusations of witchcraft; dozens languished in jail for monthswithout trials until the hysteria that swept through PuritanMassachusetts subsided. http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/salem/SALEM.HTM Rebecca, Mary and Sarah were all Victims of the Salem Witchcraft Trialin 1692. Rebecca and Mary were executed. ---------------------------------------- http://www2.iath.virginia.edu/salem/people/easty.html Mary Easty Written By Anne Taite Austin Salem Witch Trials in History and Literature An Undergraduate Course, University of Virginia Spring Semester 2001 Considering the assumption that witchcraft was hereditary, Mary(Towne) Easty was certain to be accused of witchcraft after hersister, Rebecca (Towne) Nurse, was condemned for her unwavering appealof innocence. Mary Easty was not a member of Salem Town or Village,but a resident of Topsfield, a settlement just north of the Village.Animosity had festered between members of Salem Village and Topsfieldsince 1639 when the General Court of Massachusetts granted Salempermission to expand northward in the direction of the Ipswich River,but then only four years later the same court authorized inhabitantsof another Village, Ipswich, to found a settlement there. As landbecame scarcer, quarrels regarding boundaries between the settlementto become known as Topsfield and Salem went on for a century. ThePutnams of Salem Village embodied this battle in their quarrels withthe Nurse family, Mary Easty's brother-in-law. According to Boyer andNissenbaum in Salem Possessed, considering the bitterness betweenthese families, it can be seen as no coincidence that the three Townesisters, Rebecca Nurse, Sarah Cloyce and Mary Easty, were alldaughters and wives of Topsfield men eventually to be persecuted byPutnam women in 1692 on behalf of Putnam men. More interesting than the accusations against Easty is her experienceduring the trials. She was accused on April 21, examined on the 22nd,and imprisoned after denying her guilt. During her examination,Magistrate John Hathorne aggressively questioned Easty, or moreaccurately, tried to lead her to a confession by the following line ofquestioning: "How can you say you know nothing when you see these tormented[girls], & accuse you that you know nothing?" "Would you have meaccuse myself?" "Yes if you be guilty." "Sir, I never complied but prayed against [the devil] all my dayes...I will say it, if it was my last time, I am clear of this sin." (SWPI120) In a surprising moment, Hathorne, clearly affected by the convincingmanner with which Easty spoke, turned to the accusers and asked, "Areyou certain this is the woman?" This question acted as a symbol forthe accusers to release their full energy into tormented fits.Hathorne was now convinced and imprisoned Easty. The girls, however,seemed not to be fully convinced of their own accusations. Perhaps dueto pressure from community around Easty, all of the accusers, exceptMercy Lewis, began to back off their claims and Easty was releasedfrom jail on May 18. The details of what happened next provide undeniable clues about thepower of the accusers and the impossibility of conducting a fairjuridical process. After Easty's release, Mercy Lewis fell intoviolent fits and appeared to be approaching death. Mercy Lewis laterexplained that Easty was tormenting her, and "said [Easty] would kill[Lewis] before midnight because she did not cleare hir so as the Restdid." (Salem Witchcraft Papers, I: 124) Mary Walcott, Abigail Williamsand Ann Putnam were brought to her bedside in an effort to discoverwho was tormenting Mercy. Along the path to the Mercy's house, Ann andAbigail explained that they saw Easty's specter tormenting Mercy,strongly suggesting a collaboration effort had already taken placebefore Mercy began her torments. Frances Hill in A Delusion of Satancalls this episode a propaganda scheme to show doubting Villagers thedire consequences of freeing witches from jail. Mercy and four otherscried out against Easty on May 20. Mercy's fits did not cease untilEasty was back in prison in irons demonstrating the effective power ofthe accusers. While Easty remained in jail awaiting her September 9 trial, she andher sister, Sarah Cloyce, composed a petition to the magistrates inwhich they asked, in essence, for a fair trial. They complained thatthey were "neither able to plead our owne cause, nor is councellallowed." They suggested that the judges ought to serve as theircounsel and that they be allowed persons to testify on their behalf.Easty hoped her good reputation in Topsfield and the words of herminister might aid her case in Salem, a town of strangers. Lastly, thesisters asked that the testimony of accusers and other "witches" bedismissed considering it was predominantly spectral evidence thatlacked legality. (Salem Witchcraft Papers, I: 303) The sisters hopedthat the judges would be forced to weigh solid character testimonyagainst ambiguous spectral evidence. The petition did not change theoutcome of Easty's trial, for she was condemned to hang on September17th. But together with her second petition, Easty had forced thecourt to consider its flaws -------------------- Petition of Mary Easty and Sarah Cloyce The humble Request of Mary Esty and Sarah Cloys to the Honoured Court. Humbly sheweth, that whereas we two Sisters Mary Esty & Sarah Cloysstand now before the Honoured court charged with the suspition ofWitchcraft, our humble request is first that seing we are neither ableto plead our owne cause, nor is councell alowed to those in ourcondicion; that you who are our Judges, would please to be of councellto us, to direct us wherein we may stand in neede.

She very narrowly escaped with her own lifeafter being falsely accused of witchcraft but unfortunately had norecourse to save her two sisters, my 7X Great Grandaunts, RebeccaNurse and Mary Easty. Hearing some of the words actually spoken by myown ancestors makes their lives and the history I have been compilingabout my genealogy so much more real. The best part is having suchcelebrated and distinguished actresses recreate the lives and timesthat my ancestors endured during that fateful year of 1692. Mydaughter, who is not genealogy-oriented, raved about this movie in twoseparate phone calls to me and has now become appreciative of herfamily history. I very highly recommend this movie as one of the bestof the Salem Witch Trials. http://www.amazon.com/Three-Sovereigns-Sarah-Vanessa-Redgrave/product-reviews/B0009E32FM
