What happened to your character in real life? by DeAnn Crawford https://padlet.com/dcrawford14/bvom7mx6a0o0 Made with magic en-us 2017-12-06 17:38:34 UTC 2025-10-25 19:05:23 UTC hello@padlet.com Crawford Giles dcrawford14 https://padlet.com/dcrawford14/bvom7mx6a0o0/wish/213911417  
After spending five months in chains  in the Salem jail, Gies Corey saw the futility of a trial.  

The penalty for such a refusal was piene et forte (pressing to death).  On September 19, Corey was stripped naked, a board was placed upon his chest, and then heavy stones and rocks  were piled on the board while his neighbors watched.  The pressing lasted for two days until Corey finally died.  Three days after his death, his wife, Martha, was hanged.

In 1651, John Proctor married his first wife, Martha. After Martha passed away in 1659, Proctor then married Elizabeth Thorndike in 1662. John Proctor, Jr, left Ipswich in 1666, and moved to Salem where he leased a large 700-acre farm.
In 1668, Proctor obtained a license to operate a tavern, which he named the Proctor Tavern. This new business, which was located on Ipswich Road about half a mile south of the Salem Village boundary which made him very wealthy.
After his father passed away in 1672, Proctor inherited one-third of his father’s estate, which included some houses and land in Ipswich. Proctor’s wife Elizabeth also passed away in 1672, and he then married his third wife, Elizabeth Basset, in April of 1674. A few years later, John Proctor testified against Giles Corey, who was being tried for beating his farmhand, Jacob Goodale, to death in 1676.  
John Proctor and his wife were both convicted of witchcraft on August 5, 1692. The couple were sentenced to the gallows but Elizabeth’s sentence was delayed until the birth of her child.John Proctor was hanged near Gallows Hill on August 19 along with  
 George Burroughs, John Willard, George Jacobs, Sr., and Martha Carrier.Local legend suggests that Proctor’s family secretly retrieved John Proctor’s body from the execution site and buried it on the Proctor’s farm on Lowell Street in Peabody, according to William P. Upham, who rediscovered the location of Proctor’s farm in the early 1900s and wrote a paper about it titled House of Proctor, Witchcraft Martyr, 1692 for the Peabody Historical Society in 1903.

He stood trial, during which John Proctor testified that he heard Corey admit he had beaten Goodale, but in the end Corey was only fined for his actions. During his testimony against Martha, he spoke of the sudden illness of his ox and pet cat and described how his wife would stay up late at night and kneel by the fireplace as if in prayer but he never heard her recite any prayers. Corey refused to enter a plea because was determined to avoid a conviction before his death so his estate would pass down to his grown children instead of being claimed by local authorities.In 1711, the Massachusetts legislature passed a bill clearing some of the names of the accused witches, including Giles and Martha Corey, and paid restitution for their imprisonment and deaths.
It has long been rumored that Corey placed a curse on Salem and its sheriff during his torture by shouting “Damn you! I curse you and Salem!” at the sheriff before he died.Locals also believe Corey’s ghost still haunts the area around the Howard Street Cemetery, as it is now known, and that his ghost is often seen before and after a terrible event happens in the town.

Four years after Corey’s death, Sheriff Corwin died suddenly of a heart attack at just 30 years old. Local legend suggests that Corey not only cursed Corwin but every Salem sheriff since 1692.

He would later live in Watertown and Concord, where he worked as a trader and a licensed retailer. Somewhere along the line he would marry for a second time to Dorothy Noyes and the couple would have four children. He began preaching in Dunstable in 1708, which he continued until 1712. From there, he moved to Sudbury, where he worked as a farmer and at times, as a school teacher. He died in Sudbury on February 27, 1720. ]]> 2017-12-06 20:52:34 UTC https://padlet.com/dcrawford14/bvom7mx6a0o0/wish/213913998 Giles Corey https://padlet.com/dcrawford14/bvom7mx6a0o0/wish/213914070  Giles Corey's previous conviction for beating a man to death, and his and his wife's disagreeable reputations, he might be considered one of the "easy targets" of the accusers, though they were also full members of the church, a measure of community respect. He might also fall into the category of those who had property that might be in question if he were to be convicted of witchcraft, giving a powerful motivation to accuse him .]]> 2017-12-06 20:52:44 UTC https://padlet.com/dcrawford14/bvom7mx6a0o0/wish/213914070 Thomas Danforth https://padlet.com/dcrawford14/bvom7mx6a0o0/wish/213914193  Soon after his arrival in the colonies he acquired great influence in the management of public affairs. Bancroft speaks of him as the probable author of the report on natural and chartered rights, made by Simon Bradstreet, Increase Mather, John Norton, and others in 1661. In 1643 Danforth was admitted a freeman of New England. He was named as Treasurer of Harvard in the Harvard Charter of 1650. From 1659 to 1678 he was an assistant under the Massachusetts government, becoming Deputy Governor in 1679. In the latter year he was elected president in the Province of Maine, then independent of Massachusetts which he served from 1680 to 1686, then again 1689 to 1692. He opened his court at York, and granted several parcels of land. He held the offices of Deputy Governor and president until the arrival of Sir Edmund Andros in 1688. Meanwhile he had also been made a judge of the superior court, and in 1681, with Daniel Gookin, Elisha Cooke and others, opposed the acts of trade and asserted the charter rights of the country

It is possible he wanted to be rid of her because she served as a reminder of the witch trials or because he was angry at her for recanting her confession. - Jessica ]]> 2017-12-06 20:55:48 UTC https://padlet.com/dcrawford14/bvom7mx6a0o0/wish/213915026 Marry Warren Kyle carr https://padlet.com/dcrawford14/bvom7mx6a0o0/wish/213915048 A lot of confusion surrounds Marry Warren because at first, she was accusing others of witchcraft later on the girls turned on her because she tried to expose them and what they were secretly doing and was accused of witchcraft and was hanged.]]> 2017-12-06 20:55:54 UTC https://padlet.com/dcrawford14/bvom7mx6a0o0/wish/213915048 Betty Parris: Natalie Boyles https://padlet.com/dcrawford14/bvom7mx6a0o0/wish/215211784 The Salem Witch Trials ended in 1693 and Samuel Parris was later dismissed from his job, in 1697, after years of quarrels and lawsuits between him and his parishioners. Parris then moved away from Salem with Betty and his family, serving as a preacher in Dunstable and then Sudbury, where Betty lived until adulthood. In 1710, Betty married a shoemaker, named Benjamin Baron, and had four children. She passed away at her home in Sudbury, Ma on March 21, 1760. Betty Parris appeared as a supporting character in Arthur Miller’s 1953 play The Crucible. In the play, Betty accuses her cousin Abigail Williams of practicing witchcraft and drinking blood in order to kill John Proctor’s wife Elizabeth, although this did not happen in real life. Although many of the Salem residents involved in the witch trials were immediately remorseful for their actions and apologized for what they had done, Betty Parris never issued an apology. Only one of the afflicted girls, Ann Putnam Jr., ever apologized for her actions during the Salem Witch Trials. The site of the Salem Village Parsonage, where Betty Parris lived at the time of the Salem Witch Trials, was excavated in 1970 and is open to visitors.]]> 2017-12-11 20:24:36 UTC https://padlet.com/dcrawford14/bvom7mx6a0o0/wish/215211784
