Elizabeth Quaker was born in Lynn, Massachussets and was the daughter of William Basset and Sarah Burt. She marries John Proctor in 1674. Elizabeth's grandmother Goody Burt was accused of witchcraft in 1669 because she had proficient skills in medicine even though she was not a doctor. These accusations affected the image of Elizabeth and may have led to Elizabeth's protection nearly 30 years later. In the spring of 1692, after some of the afflicted girls began having fits and claimed that invisible forces were tormenting them, the Proctor’s servant, Mary Warren, began showing the same symptoms. On April 4, John Walcott and Nathaniel Ingersoll filed an official complaint against Elizabeth Proctor, on behalf of Abigail Williams, John Indian, Mary Walcott, Ann Putnam Jr., and Mercy Lewis, and a warrant was issued for her arrest.After she was apprehended, Elizabeth Proctor (40 y/o) was brought to the Salem Village meetinghouse on April 11 and examined by Judge Thomas Danforth.

John Proctor was born in Suffolk, England. When he was just three years old, his parents brought their family to America. They sailed from London, England, on 12 April 1635 on a ship called the “Susan and Ellen”. Upon arrival, they settled in the Chebacco area of Ipswich, Massachusetts. Proctor's father owned many properties and was considered to be one of the wealthiest residents in Ipswich and had two shares in Plum Island in 1664. He also held various offices within the colony. John, who had worked as a bartender and farmer, married Elizabeth as his third wife. The accusations were originally pointed at Elizabeth but when he started to defend her he was condemned too.

Parris, or an associate, later purchased her in Barbados when she was a teenager and brought her to Boston in 1680. In November of 1689, Samuel Parris moved Tituba and his family to Salem after he was appointed the new minister of Salem Village. Tituba was one of the first women accused of witchcraft during the hysteria of 1692. Some sources suggest Tituba was named a witch because she allegedly practiced voodoo and taught the Salem Village girls fortune telling, but there are no references to this in the court records and no evidence that she did this.

Betty Parris was the first of the afflicted girls and one of the main accusers of the Salem trials. The afflicted supposedly the afflicted girls played with fortune telling techniques. Betty was only 10 when the Salem Witch Trials started. According to local minister Reverend John Hale one of the girls became alarmed after they saw a coffin in their predictions. Shortly after this incident Betty started to behave strangely. No doctor could explain her odd behavior so she was declared to be bewitched. Although Betty's name was brought up in court as one of the first complaints she never actually testified.

She was one of the main accusers of the Salem trial but still there is not much we know of her. She lived with Betty Parris and her father Reverend Samuel Parris but no one know why she was living under their roof. She suffered from similar symptoms as Betty Partis after the fortune telling incident. She was also determined to be bewitched. Just a few days after the witch cake incident, the afflicted girls named three women they believed were bewitching them: Tituba, Sarah Good and Sarah Osbourne. Abigail Williams was only 12 at the time of the trials.

King Phillip's war, also known as Metacom's Rebellion, signified the last major effort by Native Americans of southern New England to drive out the English Settlers. Metacom or King Phillip brought together and led the Wampanoag Indians joined with the Nipmucks, Pocumtucks, and Narragansett into an uprising that lasted fourteen months. In those months twelve frontier towns were destroyed. The war ended in August 1676, shortly after Metacom was captured and beheaded.

The Puritan family was the basic unit of society, in which the mother and the father had specific tasks. The husband was in charge of his wife and had all of the authority in the home. He was to provide the needs of the household, love and protect his family, and teach his children about life, which revolved around God. However the individual puritan was under restraint of strict and harsh laws. For instance a man could not even kiss his wife in public and failing to attend church daily could result in a loss of day's food, a whipping, or six months of rowing if you faced a third offense. The Puritans were known for staging the Salem Witch Trials.
