Paris Family - This is the place where hysteria began with 9 years old Betty.
Samuel Paris I started education at Harvard University but I withdrew to earn his property as a merchant in Barbados. He was unsuccessful in the Caribbean, and returned the family to New England to obtain a stable salary as a minister. Because he did not have a degree, it was difficult to find a job. He was a talented minister, his enemies would agree, but he was also indignant and close. Salem village could not find the minister and Samuel Paris could not find the parish, but Paris could not negotiate for about two years before he agreed to work.
Samuel believed that the village should give him a torch for eternity, but the town only agreed to make the family live there as long as he is the minister. For this reason, Paris started a rough start of Salem, but many people did not like him. Samuel wanted to have a mover and a shaker, but there was no gum option to see it. Samuel Parris (Samuel Parris) was the type of person who disliked people when they asked about their life, but when I heard the general opinion about life I loved it.
Mrs. Paris It was pretty easy compared with her neighbors. Housekeeping avant - garde was done by two slaves. I returned from Barbados. Since Mrs. Paris was not sick and often at home, the children were looking after slave Tita.
There were two children who were not troubled.
Elizabeth Paris , "Betty" for the first time at the age of 9, had symptoms in January. Her body will become totally stiff, create zones, make noise of animals. She was a young and confused girl who lived under the roof of an innocent and hard father who was always preaching fire and hot water. Her behavior, especially those who witnessed his father, was surprised and learned how to solve her troubles. Betty was part of the accusation against the first three "witches" but sent immediately to survive from the house, but was not part of the subsequent disturbance.
Abigail Williams , Parris & # 39; 11-year old niece who lives with. (There is no record of the reason for separating her from her parents.) As with most children, Abigail has in particular raised attention from men, but her quest would have brought her all the wrong notices. Children were expected to be seen, expected to not be heard, Abigail was adversely compared to Betty who acted well.
When Betty began to have spells, Abigail, who was always jealous of his young cousin a bit, became completely green with the voice of envy. Not only did girls gather all the attention from adults, she wanted to say whatever she wants without discipline. For a long time, Abigail got into that act and became one of the most enthusiastic and loud whistleblowers.
Chitava , Barbados' female slave always had doubts. It was not common for Massachusetts families to own slaves, but it was not illegal. Puritan could not understand if Titauba was one of the Voodoo in the Caribbean countries or was one of these two Indian savages. In particular, Tituba loves Betty, often sits with her child and caresses her hair.
John Indian It was also a slave of the Parris household. He and Tituba were a couple (Some say that they got married, but procedures such as marriage were not necessary for slavery). Fearing that he would be charged next, John Indian suddenly became one of those who suffered during Tituba's confession. He "fits" to Ingersoll's Ordinary (a local inn), swaying about the floor, handed over an old scar certifying the abuse of the witches. He also tested it in the exam.
Beginning
To contemporary Americans, it is almost impossible to understand what life happened in January 1692. In the average house of Puritan there was a huge fireplace big enough to roast the pigsty. Tuesday, you will get cold. There was little social deal, people did not visit. The men had continued hunting trips and other outdoor activities, but the women were able to spend a week during the meeting of the church confined in her daunting house. Puritan did not have Christmas merit to remove stubborn things from long winter (they regarded it as a pagan holiday!). And by January, loneliness is long, every day, hopeless sorrow sight
There is no clear evidence for factors that induce Betty's suffering. A few years later, John Olden (accused witch) wrote that the girls were experimenting with Venus' glass to determine the future husband's occupation. The method of fortune telling was harmless. Egg white is dropped into the water and it is confirmed whether the image can be identified in goo. The version of Alden may be accurate. Many authors are moving on the idea that young girls are sucking with occult with the same moral fear as young boys peering into Hustler, but the crisis has ended, how the fear started Alden 's explanation about is not considered a fact.
What is known is that Abigail also began to display symptoms. My neighbor, Mary Sibley, thought that the girls were demonically owned, Taitavaba recommended to bake the "Witch's Cake" according to old English wives. story. Tituba mixed the urine of Abigail and Betty into a recipe, baked it on a fire and gave it to the dog. According to legend, evil spirits were to leave the girls. They were trapped in the way of their pee, and in the body of the dog. Samuel Paris was angry with himself when he found a magical cake. He accused Mr. Mary Siburu from publicly reprimanding, accusing himself as "to go to the devil seeking help from the devil". The congregation was invaded by an invisible spirit and began to fear that there was no way to fight.
Paris The next move was to consult Dr. Griggs who consulted his medical book and was diagnosed as a "bad hand", a fully accepted medical opinion. It was formal, the devil was in their center, and Samuel Paris tried to find out who his accomplice was. He beat the sunshine of Tituba and constantly talked about what is afflicting the girls and who tortures them. He called prayers from the pastors of the town together with their families to make it faster.
In Putnam
Thomas Putnam He was always a straightforward member of the community he thought was right. He disliked anyone who thought he had it better, thought of vengeance by a cunning maneuver instead of a direct confrontation.
Thomas Putnam was always demanding justice for his claimed mistake. His name praises more wizard's warrants than anyone else. In anger, Thomas consistently wrote a letter to prove to someone he was pleased with, and his argument grew more exotically every time. He raised a dispute with anyone. A list of enemies of land nurses families, British families who have failed elections, Putnam has been accused of witches so far.
Ann Sister It was a disturbed woman who carries the burden of anger and is responsible. She came to Salem Village with her beloved sister. He lost all the babies before she died. Ann Sr. never got over this, especially when my baby began to die. She went in and out of suffering, confused bad dreams with vision and tested it as a fact.
Ann Jr. I was 12 years old and my mother taught her how to read it, so it was a rare child. She was considered a little genius around the town. She spoke about adults on a daily basis and had a child's air treated like an adult. Ann was the leader of a suffering girl and there was also the best witch detective who testified that 17 out of 19 "witches" were hung.
Mercy Lewis , Putnam 's 17 - year - old servant girl, I saw her parents murdered by the Indians. Mercy was rescued by George Burroughs and placed in Putnam's house.
More girls will join the fight.
Ann Putnam was just 12 years old, could not resist the temptation of attention and soon became a leader. I must have felt like these heavenly to these young children. Suddenly the same adults who ignored as "always laughing" were hanging on each word as if the girls knew the meaning of life. It was Ann that he began to name the name inherited, but the other girl nodded and nodded.
On leap year, February 29, responsibility came back to Titusba, but that was not the only one. There were two other witches who bothered children. Anne gave a name, but I immediately saw other girls.
The accused was rounded up for inspection. It was scheduled to be held at Ingersoll's Ordinary (local inn), but a lot of people were watching, but the whole incident was a meeting place to accommodate the crowd.
Sara Good It was the most obvious choice and was first inspected.
Her father committed suicide in 1672.
She was married for the second time, but Sarah had no money as her former husband died of huge debts.
She was 39 years old, but most people guessed about her.
She married a bunch of children, the youngest was a little Dorcas, only five years old.
Her husband was a worker. At that time labor was valuable, but as Sarah was hired, no one wanted to hire him. The neighbors they stayed had to kick the goods for Sara's behavior. She was confused and she was lazy and she talked without thinking. Regardless of whether the family needed extra hands on the farm, she was rough and not worthwhile.
Surely, Sarah was begging for the door. She will appear unexpectedly and homeowners may have to see her go away as she may be about to infiltrate their warehouse. When she walks around, she will mutter on herself. Sarah probably had a blow to schizophrenia. The riot was taken for the curse and her arrest caused many people to remember the terrible affair caused by Sarah.
Her favorite pastime was smoking in a pipe, and one family kicked her for that reason. Later, when she was in jail she hated the cigarette from visitors, and perhaps curled a yarn through Sarah's shavings and cursed a young Mercy short that caused her to smoke.
She was pregnant when she was arrested. While waiting for the trial she was holding in Boston's prison. The jailer told her to die baby. Of course, this is the opinion of a man who thought Sarah a dirty witch. Sarah's other children are alive and it is not fair to try to absorb what Sarah has felt while holding a newborn baby to die.
Her small daughter, Dorcas, became the youngest defendant at the age of four years old. She was imprisoned in prison like other "witches". And she was so young that she was crazy and never the same to deal with the fear of being imprisoned in such a terrible place.
In Sarah's trial one of the suffering girls shouted and she was stabbed by Sarah. And as the girl could even make a broken blade, the crowd panted. A young man in the crowd recognized the broken piece and bought a broken knife the day before. The piece fits perfectly like a puzzle and the rest of her testimony was not questionable,
Sarah Aussburn It was a less obvious choice for witches than Tituba and Sarah, but she was a reputable lady.
She was a sick an older woman.
After her husband died, Sarah allowed another man to enter her house without the benefit of marriage. This other man who is an Irish immigrant was speculated only by being heterogeneous. They married, but it did not change anything in the minds of the Puritans.
Before the accusations, Sarah was more than a year away from the church.
She died in prison while waiting for the trial.
