Slaves, Puritans and Poisoned Wheat
Popular history has tried to find pat answers to the causes of the Massachusetts witch trials of 1692. Convenient myths point an accusing finger at the severe and unforgiving Puritans. Others point to a dark-skinned Caribbean slave who supposedly brought witchcraft to Massachusetts from Barbados, or hallucinogenic microbes in the wheat causing the girls of the village to convulse and appear bewitched. In fact, these explanations have little basis in reality. Tituba and her husband, John Indian, black slaves from the Caribbean had no central role in the trials. There is no mention in any of the historical records of Tituba dancing in the woods with the girls, or practicing witchcraft.
While the Puritan religion makes an easy target for blame, most of the ministers of the day signed petitions declaring the innocence of the accused. In general, they were against the tactics of the Salem Judges.
There was even a theory that blamed the seizures of the girls on a microbial infection of the local wheat. In fact, the erratic behavior and gyrations of the accusers was carefully choreographed. This was not random, pathological movement caused by infected food.
There is no easy, convenient and neat explanation. The tragic events in Essex County, Massachusetts were initiated by ill-behaved girls who accused for sport. The court made a tragic situation worse. The accused, presumed guilty by the judges, were tortured until they pleaded guilty, accused others and were set free. If they pleaded innocent, they were executed. One man refused to plead at all and was tortured to death over a three day period. With these judicial tactics it is easy to understand why the number of accused increased dramatically over a short period of time.
What makes tragedies like this all the more tragic is that we do not always learn by our mistakes. How many “witch trials” have there been since 1692 and who have been the accused?

The time has come for eliminations. I know this week's challenge was a tough one, so I'm proud of all of you who turned in a photo! :)
First up, my top 3:
1. TITUBA - The use of color contrast between the green background and the tan/orange colors in your outfit really added interest to your photo. When I look at all the entries this week side by side, yours stands out. Good use of color. Not to mention, I am really impressed with the creative take on this week's theme. I didn't even consider Nala when thinking of this theme, but she definitely is a Disney princess. You featured her wild, lioness features while still being sexy and alluring. Good job.
2. KAROLINA MORZOVA - Your hair looks so shiny and healthy! You should be a hair model. ;P I think what makes your photo so successful is how you were able to use color to tie everything together. The dark pink in your lips, eyeshadow, and robe go well with the dark pink centers of the cherry blossoms behind you. It creates eye movement, which is a good thing! I first notice your face, then my eyes move down to your robe, follow the lines of your legs, and up to the cherry blossoms behind you, and finally back to your face. It always pulls me back to somewhere else in your photo, and I never want to stop looking at it. Well done. :)
3. MICA BLACK - So cute! The main reason I chose your photo as a top 3 is because of your facial expression. It is so sweet and innocent, which is exactly what I expect and want to see from Cinderella. Good job editing her face so well. I also like how you posed for the photo. It's very sexy and modelesque - perfect for a princess lingerie shoot!
Safe:
4. CLEO JENSEN - The lighting in this photo is really cool. It's dark and mysterious, which is a good choice for Mulan. My only critique is that she kind of looks like she's bored. She's really beautiful, but I feel like the photo is missing excitement and/or passion. The sword was a good addition, but maybe if she were swinging it at something? I think an action pose (while still modeling) would have been really neat to see. Good job, and congratulations on 4th. :)
5. LYSA ELLIS - Ariel! :) That little seashell bra is so cute! I love all the little details you put into this photo, like the pearl necklace, the net, the sand in her hair, etc. This was a very successful rendition of the Little Mermaid. I think something that would have made the picture more successful though is moving her legs or adding something to that bottom right hand corner. Because right now I start off by looking at her face, subconsciously going down to her seashell bra, moving down her legs, and....my eyes leave the page. I think you need something in that corner to bring my eyes back up so I look at the rest of the photo.
6. JEAN GREY - Such a cool outfit! Seriously. I love her lacy stockings, her gold bracelet, and the braids in her hair, and that you added freckles. :) The reason I didn't place you higher is because I feel that her pose is a little static. Right now she's centered smack in the middle and her legs are going straight up and down. It would be nice to see more movement.
7. NATASHA ELLIS - Nice photography! I like the clean, crisp edges of your model, and it's cool that you added a runway as the background since she's a lingerie model. But to me this seems too dark to be Cinderella. When I think Cinderella, I think of girly, innocent, sparkly, and sweet. I think it was a good risk though. :)
8. HYORI LEE - It was a nice touch that you added pink AND blue in your photo instead of going with one of the colors that Sleeping Beauty usually wears. It creates contrast and interest. My criticism for you is that right now I feel like she looks tired, but she's not close to falling asleep. Like she's relaxed or bored maybe? If you were to push it so she was one way or the other (either totally asleep or awake) I think it would be a more powerful photo. More dramatic. Not in between.
9. HARRY PISMO - Cute bedroom! She reminds me of Candace Swanepoel in this photo, the way her eyes are looking seductively at the camera. I think this photo could be more successful if you were to take a crisper photo. Some of her facial features look a little blurry.
10. SWEETIE REGINA - This is such a cute, sexy rendition of Aurora, good job! My suggestion would be to change the angle up a little bit. Since the camera is straight on her, it kind of makes the photo look flat. It would be nice to see more depth, like a background, middle ground, and foreground.
Congratulations!
Unfortunately, two models did not turn in a photo so they will be eliminated from the competition:
1. Tasia Uneek
2. Bahati Shakti
But this means that we have room for another entry. Congratulations to our...
...COMEBACK MODEL:
1. Alison

October 1st 2016
n 1692, in the town of Salem, Massachusetts, 24 people were killed after being tried as witches. Hundreds others were accused of being witches and wizards, but managed to escape the gallows. Why did this travesty of justice occur? Why did it occur in Salem? Salem was a prime spot for this event, and it the witchcraft trials were a culmination of many factors. The unfortunate combination of economic conditions, congregational strife, teenage boredom, and personal jealousies account for the spiraling accusations, trials, and executions that occurred in the spring and summer of 1692.
In 1688, John Putnam, one of the most influential elders of Salem Village, invited Samuel Parris, formerly a marginally successful planter and merchant in Barbados, to preach in the Village church. A year later, after negotiations over salary, inflation adjustments, and free firewood, Parris accepted the job as Village minister. He moved to Salem Village with his wife Elizabeth, his six-year-old daughter Betty, niece Abagail Williams, and slave Tituba, a West African native that Parris had acquired in Barbados.
The Salem that became Parris's new home was in the midst of change: a mercantile elite was beginning to develop, prominent people were becoming less willing to assume positions as town leaders, the Putnams and the Porters were competing for control of the village and its pulpit, and a debate was raging over how independent Salem Village, tied more to the interior agricultural regions, should be from Salem, a center of sea trade.
Sometime during February of the exceptionally cold winter of 1692, young Betty Parris became strangely ill. She dashed about, dove under furniture, contorted in pain, and complained of fever. The cause of her symptoms may have been some combination of stress, asthma, guilt, child abuse, epilepsy, and delusional psychosis, but there were other theories. Cotton Mather had recently published a popular book, "Memorable Providences," describing the suspected witchcraft of an Irish washerwoman in Boston, and Betty's behavior in some ways mirrored that of the afflicted person described in Mather's widely read and discussed book. It was easy to believe in 1692 in Salem, with an Indian war raging and the village in political turmoil, that the devil was close at hand. Talk of witchcraft increased when other of Betty's playmates, including eleven-year-old Ann Putnam, seventeen-year-old Mercy Lewis, and Mary Walcott, began to exhibit similar unusual behavior. William Griggs, a doctor called to examine the girls, suggested that the girls' problems might have a supernatural origin when his own nostrums failed to effect a cure. The widespread belief that witches targeted children made the doctor's diagnosis seem increasing likely.
A neighbor, Mary Sibley, proposed a form of counter magic. She told Tituba to bake a rye cake with the urine of the afflicted victim and feed the cake to a dog. ( Dogs were believed to be used by witches as agents to carry out their devilish commands.) By this time, suspicion had already begun to focus on Tituba, who had been known to tell the girls tales of omens, voodoo, and witchcraft from her native folklore. Her participation in the urine cake episode made her an even more obvious scapegoat for the inexplicable.
Meanwhile, the number of girls afflicted continued to grow, rising to seven with the addition of Ann Putnam, Elizabeth Hubbard, Susannah Sheldon, and Mary Warren. According to historian Peter Hoffer, the girls "turned themselves from a circle of friends into a gang of juvenile delinquents." ( Many people of the period complained that young people lacked the piety and sense of purpose of the founders' generation.) The girls contorted into grotesque poses, fell down into frozen postures, and complained of biting and pinching sensations. In a village where everyone believed that the devil was real, close at hand, and acted in the real world, the suspected affliction of the girls became an obsession.
Sometime after February 25, when Tituba baked the witch cake, and February 29, when arrest warrants were issued against Tituba and two other women, Betty Parris and Abigail Williams named their afflictors and the witchhunt began. The consistency of the two girls' accusations suggests strongly that the girls worked out their stories together. Soon Ann Putnam and Mercy Lewis were also reporting seeing "witches flying through the winter mist." The prominent Putnam family supported the girls' accusations, putting considerable impetus behind the prosecutions.
The first three to be accused of witchcraft were Tituba, Sarah Good, and Sarah Osborn. Tituba was an obvious choice, because of both the color of her skin and her experience in voodoo. Good was a beggar and social misfit who lived wherever someone would house her, while Osborn was old, quarrelsome, and had not attended church for over a year. The Putnams brought their complaint against the three women to county magistrates Jonathan Corwin and John Hathorne, who scheduled examinations for the suspected witches for March 1, 1692 in a local tavern. When hundreds showed up, the examinations were moved to the meeting house. At the examinations, the girls described attacks by the specters of the three women, and fell into their by then perfected pattern of contortions when in the presence of one of the suspects. Other villagers came forward to offer stories of cheese and butter mysteriously gone bad or animals born with deformities after visits by one of the suspects. The magistrates, in the common practice of the time, asked the same questions of each suspect over and over: Were they witches? Had the seen the Devil? How, if they are were not witches, did they explain the contortions seemingly caused by their presence? The style and form of the questions indicates that the magistrates thought the women guilty.
The matter might have ended with admonishments were it not for Tituba. After first adamantly denying any guilt, afraid perhaps of being made a scapegoat, Tituba claimed that she was approached by a tall man from Boston who sometimes appeared as a dog or a hog (obviously the Devil) who asked her to sign in his book and to do his work. "Yes", Tituba declared, "I am a witch, and moreover four other witches, including Good and Osborn, had flown through the air on poles" Tituba has been rumored to say. She had tried to run to Reverend Parris for counsel, she said, but the devil had blocked her path. Tituba's confession succeeded in transforming her from a possible scapegoat to a central figure in the expanding prosecutions. Her confession also served to silence most skeptics, and Parris and other local ministers began witch hunting with zeal.
Soon, according to their own reports, the spectral forms of other women began attacking the afflicted girls. Martha Corey, Rebecca Nurse, Sarah Cloyce, and Mary Easty were accused of witchcraft. During a March 20 church service, Ann Putnam suddenly shouted, "Look where Goodwife Cloyce sits on the beam suckling her yellow bird between her fingers!" Soon Ann's mother, Ann Putnam, Sr., would join the accusers. Dorcas Good, four-year-old daughter of Sarah Good, became the first child to be accused of witchcraft when three of the girls complained that they were bitten by Dorcas's specter. (The four-year-old was arrested, kept in jail for eight months, watched her mother get carried off to the gallows, and would "cry her heart out, and go insane.") The girls' accusations and their ever more polished performances, including the new act of being struck dumb, played to large and believing audiences.
Stuck in jail with the damning testimony of the afflicted girls widely accepted, suspects began to see confession as a way to avoid the gallows. Deliverance Hobbs became the second witch to confess, admitting to pinching three of the girls at the devil's command and flying on a pole to attend a witches' Sabbath in an open field. Jails approached capacity and the colony "teetered on the brink of chaos" when Governor Phips returned from England. Fast action, he decided, was required.
Phips created a new court, the "court of oyer and terminer," to hear the witchcraft cases. Five judges, including three close friends of Cotton Mather, were appointed to the court. Chief Justice, and most influential member of the court, was a gung-ho witch hunter named William Stoughton. Mather urged Stoughton and the other judges to credit confessions and admit "spectral evidence" (testimony by afflicted persons that they had been visited by a suspect's specter). Ministers were looked to for guidance by the judges, who were generally without legal training, on matters pertaining to witchcraft, and Mather's advice was heeded. Judges also decided to allow the so-called "touching test" (defendants were asked to touch afflicted persons to see if their touch, as was generally assumed of the touch of witches, would stop their contortions) and examination of the bodies of accused for evidence of "witches' marks" (moles or the like upon which a witch's familiar might suck). Evidence that would be excluded from modern courtrooms-- hearsay, gossip, stories, unsupported assertions, surmises-- was also generally admitted. Many protections that modern defendants take for granted were lacking in Salem: accused witches had no legal counsel, could not have witnesses testify under oath on their behalf, and had no formal avenues of appeal. Defendants could, however, speak for themselves, produce evidence, and cross-examine their accusers. The degree to which defendants in Salem were able to take advantage of their modest protections varied considerably, depending on their own acuteness and their influence in the community.
The first accused witch to be brought to trial was Bridget Bishop. Almost sixty years old, owner of a house of ill repute, critical of her neighbors, and reluctant to pay her her bills, Bishop was a likely candidate for an accusation of witchcraft . The fact that Thomas Newton, special prosecutor, selected Bishop for his first prosecution suggests that he believed the stronger case could be made against her than any of the other suspect witches. At Bishop's trial on June 2, 1692, a field hand testified that he saw Bishop's image stealing eggs and then saw her transform herself into a cat. Deliverance Hobbs, by then clearly insane, and Mary Warren, both confessed witches, testified that Bishop was one of them. A villager named Samuel Grey told the court that Bishop visited his bed at night and tormented him. A jury of matrons assigned to examine Bishop's body reported that they found an "excrescence of flesh." Several of the afflicted girls testified that Bishop's specter afflicted them. Numerous other villagers described why they thought Bishop was responsible for various bits of bad luck that had befallen them. There was even testimony that while being transported under guard past the Salem meeting house, she looked at the building and caused a part of it to fall to the ground. Bishop's jury returned a verdict of guilty . One of the judges, Nathaniel Saltonstall, aghast at the conduct of the trial, resigned from the court. Chief Justice Stoughton signed Bishop's death warrant, and on June 10, 1692, Bishop was carted to Gallows Hill and hanged .
As the summer of 1692 warmed, the pace of trials picked up. Not all defendants were as disreputable as Bridget Bishop. Rebecca Nurse was a pious, respected woman whose specter, according to Ann Putnam, Jr. and Abagail Williams, attacked them in mid March of 1692 . Ann Putnam, Sr. added her complaint that Nurse demanded that she sign the Devil's book, then pinched her. Nurse was one of three Towne sisters , all identified as witches, who were members of a Topsfield family that had a long-standing quarrel with the Putnam family. Apart from the evidence of Putnam family members, the major piece of evidence against Nurse appeared to be testimony indicating that soon after Nurse lectured Benjamin Houlton for allowing his pig to root in her garden, Benjamin died. The Nurse jury returned a verdict of not guilty, much to the displeasure of Chief Justice Stoughton, who told the jury to go back and consider again a statement of Nurse's that might be considered an admission of guilt (but more likely an indication of confusion about the question, as Nurse was old and nearly deaf). The jury reconvened, this time coming back with a verdict of guilty . On July 19, 1692, Nurse rode with four other convicted witches to Gallows Hill.
Persons who scoffed at accusations of witchcraft risked becoming targets of accusations themselves. One man who was openly critical of the trials paid for his skepticism with his life. John Proctor, a central figure in Arthur Miller's somewhat fictionalized account of the Salem witchhunt "The Crucible," was an opinionated tavern owner who openly denounced the witchhunt. Testifying against Proctor were Ann Putnam, Abagail Williams, Indian John (a slave of Samuel Parris who worked in a competing tavern), and eighteen-year-old Elizabeth Booth, who testified that ghosts had come to her and accused Proctor of serial murder. Proctor fought back, accusing confessed witches of lying, complaining of torture, and demanding that his trial be moved to Boston. The efforts proved futile, of course, and Proctor was hanged. His wife Elizabeth, who was also convicted of witchcraft, was spared execution because of her pregnancy (reprieved "for the belly").
No execution caused more unease in Salem than that of the village's ex-minister, George Burroughs. Burroughs, who was living in Maine in 1692, was identified by several of his accusers as the ringleader of the witches. Mercy Lewis, the most imaginative and forceful of the young accusers, offered unusually vivid testimony against Burroughs. Lewis told the court that Burroughs flew her to the top of a mountain and, pointing toward the surrounding land, promised her all the kingdoms if only she would sign in his book. Lewis said, "I would not writ if he had throwed me down on one hundred pitchforks." At an execution, a defendant in the Puritan colonies was expected to confess, and thus to save his soul. When Burroughs on Gallows Hill continued to insist on his innocence and then recited the Lord's Prayer perfectly (something witches were thought incapable of doing), the crowd was reportedly "greatly moved," forcing Cotton Mather, who was in attendance, to intervene and remind the crowd that Burroughs had had his day in court and lost.
One victim of the Salem witchhunt was not hanged, but rather pressed under heavy stones for two days until his death. Such was the fate of octogenarian Giles Corey who, after spending five months in chains in a Salem jail with his also accused wife, had nothing but contempt for the proceedings. Seeing the futility of a trial and hoping that by avoiding a conviction his farm, that would otherwise go the state, might go to his two sons-in-law, Corey refused to stand for trial. The penalty for such a refusal was peine et fort, or pressing. Three days after Corey's death, on September 22, 1692, eight more convicted witches, including Giles' wife Martha, were hanged. They were the last victims of the witchhunt.
By early autumn of 1692, Salem's lust for blood was ebbing. Doubts were developing as to how so many respectable people could be guilty. Reverend John Hale said, " It cannot be imagined that in a place of so much knowledge, so many in so small compass of land should abominably leap into the Devil's lap at once." The educated elite of the colony began efforts to end the witch-hunting hysteria that had enveloped Salem. Increase Mather, the father of Cotton, published what has been called "America's first tract on evidence," a work entitled "Cases of Conscience," which argued that it "were better that ten suspected witches should escape than one innocent person should be condemned." Increase Mather urged the court to exclude spectral evidence. Samuel Willard, a highly regarded Boston minister, circulated "Some Miscellany Observations," which suggested that the Devil might create the specter of an innocent person. Mather's and Willard's works were given to Governor Phips, and most likely influenced his decision to order the court to exclude spectral evidence and touching tests, and to require proof of guilt by clear and convincing evidence. With spectral evidence not admitted, twenty-eight of the last thirty-three witchcraft trials ended in acquittals. The three convicted witches were later pardoned. In May of 1693, Phips released from prison all remaining accused or convicted witches.
By the time the witchhunt ended, nineteen convicted witches were executed, at least four accused witches had died in prison, and one man, Giles Corey, had been pressed to death. About one to two hundred other persons were arrested and imprisoned on witchcraft charges. Two dogs were executed as suspected accomplices of witches.
A period of atonement began in the colony. Samuel Sewall, one of the judges, issued a public confession of guilt and an apology. Several jurors came forward to say that they were "sadly deluded and mistaken" in their judgments. Reverend Samuel Parris conceded errors of judgment, but mostly shifted blame to others. Parris was replaced as minister of Salem village by Thomas Green, who devoted his career to putting his torn congregation back together. Governor Phips blamed the entire affair on William Stroughton. Stroughton, clearly more to blame than anyone for the tragic episode, refused to apologize or explain himself, He criticized Phips for interfering just when he was about to "clear the land" of witches. Stoughton became the next governor of Massachusetts.

In the kitchen of Salem's minister, Tituba--a Carribean slave--taught a group of young girls some fortune-telling tricks that she had learned as a young girl in Barbados. As they cracked eggs into a glass of water to "see" the occupations of their future husbands.
One of the young girls, perhaps with an overactive imagination or perhaps with overwhelming feelings of guilt because what she was doing would have been considered witchcraft (a crime punishable by death), saw the vision of a coffin.
And so began the hysteria that history knows as the Salem Witch Trials.
I love the history of this time period. Love reading the different historical accounts, the views of historians on why and how the trials happened.

Slaves, Puritans and Poisoned Wheat
Popular history has tried to find pat answers to the causes of the Massachusetts witch trials of 1692. Convenient myths point an accusing finger at the severe and unforgiving Puritans. Others point to a dark-skinned Caribbean slave who supposedly brought witchcraft to Massachusetts from Barbados, or hallucinogenic microbes in the wheat causing the girls of the village to convulse and appear bewitched. In fact, these explanations have little basis in reality. Tituba and her husband, John Indian, black slaves from the Caribbean had no central role in the trials. There is no mention in any of the historical records of Tituba dancing in the woods with the girls, or practicing witchcraft.
While the Puritan religion makes an easy target for blame, most of the ministers of the day signed petitions declaring the innocence of the accused. In general, they were against the tactics of the Salem Judges.
There was even a theory that blamed the seizures of the girls on a microbial infection of the local wheat. In fact, the erratic behavior and gyrations of the accusers was carefully choreographed. This was not random, pathological movement caused by infected food.
There is no easy, convenient and neat explanation. The tragic events in Essex County, Massachusetts were initiated by ill-behaved girls who accused for sport. The court made a tragic situation worse. The accused, presumed guilty by the judges, were tortured until they pleaded guilty, accused others and were set free. If they pleaded innocent, they were executed. One man refused to plead at all and was tortured to death over a three day period. With these judicial tactics it is easy to understand why the number of accused increased dramatically over a short period of time.
What makes tragedies like this all the more tragic is that we do not always learn by our mistakes. How many “witch trials” have there been since 1692 and who have been the accused?

A short walk south down Centre Street from the site of the parsonage, at the corner of Hobart Street, is the site of Ingersoll’s ordinary (or tavern). Nathaniel Ingersoll was one of the most respected members of the Salem Village community. His tavern/inn was located at a bend on the Andover Road (today Centre Street), a convenient stop for travelers and a gathering center for the village. The earliest part of the building that stands here today was built circa 1670. According to historian Charles Upham, in 1692, the Ingersoll garden abutted the parsonage orchards. Upham also describes the Ingersoll property with a separate dwelling house from the ordinary, as well as the town’s watch house, where sentinels guarded against Native American attack. Ingersoll lived on this property for seventy years.
The first three to be accused of witchcraft in 1692 – Tituba, Sarah Osborne (alternate spellings Osburn, Osborn, Osbourne), and Sarah Good were scheduled to be examined here on March 1, but so many people turned up to witness the event that it had to be moved down the road to the meetinghouse to accommodate the crowd. Nevertheless, the attendees spent lots of money for tavern refreshments that day – on food, cider, and rum.
Both examinations and afflictions took place on this land. In mid-March, Deodat Lawson witnessed the afflicted Mary Walcott at the ordinary, with self-inflicted teeth marks on her wrist. Rebecca Nurse was also held here before her examination, as was Dorothy Good. It was here that John Indian became afflicted when Elizabeth Cary from Charlestown came to town to defend herself against witchcraft accusations. Wilmott Redd of Marblehead was also examined here.
On March 28, William Rayment and Daniel Elliot were at Ingersoll’s tavern with some of the afflicted girls. The two men, along with Nathaniel Ingersoll’s wife Hannah, heard the girls claim to see the specter of Goody Proctor. Oddly, the accusers were almost casual about it and did not act in their usual dramatic fashion. One said of Proctor, “Goody Proctor, old witch, I’ll have her hang.” When scolded by Hannah Ingersoll for these words, one of the girls admitted to acting out “for sport, they must have some sport.”
April 21 saw another disturbing event at the ordinary, when Nathaniel’s adopted son Benjamin Hutchinson struck with his sword at a place where Abigail Hobbs claimed the specter of George Burroughs was seen. According to Hobbs, the specter turned into a cat, only to be picked up by the specter of Sarah Good. Hobbs’s dramatic visions ended with the sighting of a huge gathering of witches out on the hill.
Nathaniel Ingersoll was born circa 1633. When his father Richard died, the 11-year-old Ingersoll inherited 75 acres of land. While still a boy, he went to live with his father’s friend Governor Endecott on Endecott’s 300-acre country estate, Orchard Farm, where he was employed as a “servant” for four years. More like an apprenticeship, this employment readied him for taking on his own home and farm when older.
Nathaniel Ingersoll married Hannah Collins around the age of nineteen, approximately the same time he started his own farm. The couple had one daughter, who died young. Neighbor Joseph Hutchinson, the father of several sons, agreed that the Ingersolls could adopt one of his boys, Benjamin, and raise him as their own.
Historian Charles Upham calls Nathaniel Ingersoll “the Father of the Village.” He was a Lieutenant in the militia and one of two deacons of the church – the other was his good friend Edward Putnam, the brother of Thomas Putnam.
Ingersoll was reportedly fair, honest, and generous. One example of this is evident in the records regarding Reverend George Burroughs’s return to Salem Village from Maine in May of 1683. Burroughs came to settle his outstanding debts (among them, the funeral costs of his first wife, loaned to him by Captain John Putnam with whom he had initially lodged) and in turn receive his back pay. Despite his voluntary return, John Putnam had him arrested when he arrived in Salem Village. The marshal was instructed to present him with a list of debts owed. Ingersoll arose and said to Putnam, “To my knowledge you and Mr. Burroughs have reckoned and balanced accounts two or three times since, as you say, this money was due, and you never made any mention of it when you reckoned with Mr. Burroughs.” Despite this defense, and Putnam’s acknowledgement of the facts, Burroughs was held overnight at Ingersoll’s ordinary, under guard. Six villagers, led by Nathaniel Ingersoll, posted bail for his release. The case was finally settled by late June. Nine years later, Burroughs was accused of witchcraft and executed on August 19, 1692.
In 1701, Nathaniel Ingersoll gave land to the village on which to build the second meetinghouse: “it shall stand on Watch-House Hill, before Deacon Ingersoll’s door.” Before the new meetinghouse was built, the “elevated spot” was levelled and cleared.
Nathaniel Ingersoll died in 1719 at the age of 85. He remembered his many relatives in his will, and deeded property for a training field to the town.
Additional note: Nathaniel Ingersoll’s father’s friend Governor John Endecott was the longest-serving Governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony: he was the 1st, 10th, 13th, 15th, and 17th governor, serving portions of 1629-1664. His Orchard Farm was located in present-day Danversport. The Endecott Pear Tree, which still stands, was planted in its current location by Endecott between 1632 and 1649, and is thought to have been brought from England on the Arabella in 1630. It is America’s oldest cultivated tree.
Additional note: A notable descendant of Nathaniel Ingersoll is Nathaniel Bowditch (1773-1838), the eminent mathematician known as the father of modern maritime navigation, whose The New Practical Navigator is used to this day.

Nathaniel Ingersoll was born 1632 Salem, Essex Co, MA, and was mentioned in his father's (Richard Ingersoll) will as the youngest son. He married to Hannah Collins, 25 March 1657 at Salem. [1] Nathaniel was chosen deacon of the church at Salem Village 24 Nov 1689 and at the same time he was a Lieutenant and inn-holder. He played an active part in the witchcraft delusion in 1692. [2]
Nathaniel Ingersoll was an important figure in Salem, and many of the early meetings and events of the Salem Witch Trials occurred at his home/tavern since church meetings were held at his home. He participated in the trials themselves, as well. [3] [4]
www.wikitree.com/wiki/Ingersoll-57
Nathaniel Ingersoll (1632-1718) was born in Salem to Richard and Ann Ingersoll, who arrived to Salem in 1629 from Bedfordshire England. Ingersoll and his family ran an “ordinary” – the 17th century term for a local tavern – which was the social center of the community of Salem Village, then an agricultural village of Salem Town. The estate even had a watch tower for citizens to watch for Native American attacks from the forest.
During the Salem Witch Trials of 1692, those accused of witchcraft were brought to the Ordinary before their initial hearings and held in an upstairs room. Originally, the hearings themselves – with accusers throwing themselves on the ground in front of the judges, screaming, and claiming to see the “specters” of the accused torturing them – were to be held in the barroom as county court sessions were. Due to the large crowds that wanted to watch the spectacle, the hearings were moved down the road to the meetinghouse (see past post), but afterwards the judges and spectators returned to the tavern for lunch and drinks. John Indian, Reverend Samuel Parris’ slave and husband of Tituba, the first accused and killed of witchcraft, worked the bar sometimes for Ingersoll, and he would show off scars on his arm to out-of-towners who passed through, bragging that he got them when he was attacked by witches. The barroom at Ingersoll’s is also where one of the accusers admitted that they were accusing and sending innocent people to their deaths for nothing but “sport.”
When Nathaniel Ingersoll died in 1718, the estate was sold and operated as a tavern through the 1700s and into the 1800s under different owners. Due to its proximity to the militia training field, it was frequented by the men who later marched from Danvers to confront the British soldiers on the day of the Battle of Lexington and Concord. The home eventually became the parsonage of the First Church of Danvers and remained as such until about 1970, when the home was acquired as a private home.

Historical Significance (include explanation of themes checked above)
Here Nathaniel Ingersoil, lieutenant of the militia and first deacon of
the Village Church, kept a tavern "saling beere, slder, lickers, and provision" to travelers. His house was the "headquarters of the village" where military, civic, and prayer meetings were held, and such persons as Increase & Cotton Mather entertained. On the surcdnding grounds, witchcraft came to Salem
Village in 1692, and persons accused of being witches were examined by Magis- trates Jonathan Corwln and John Hathorne in Ingersoil1 s Ordinary.
Deacon Ingersoil died in 1719, and the house was conveyed to Joseph Cross, mariner of Salem in 1736. About 1753 Cross made extensive repairs on the Old house. The house was licensed as a tavern from 1751 - 1793. In 1302,the house wassold toMa.1.Gen.Ebenezer Goodale whokept a large butchering business, and occupied the house for 30 years. Goodale did not get along well with his neighbors and the area became somewhat run down. The First Church purchased the house for a parsonage in May 1332, and it was used for this purpose until the late 1966«s. Many religious and civil organizations met here during its use as a parsonage.

This house, constructed c. 1660, was the home of Sarah Osborne and her second husband Alexander in 1692. It originally stood near the intersection of Summer and Spring Streets. It is a private residence.
Sarah Osborne (alternate spellings Osborn, Osbourne, Osburn) and her second husband, Alexander, lived in this house in 1692. It was originally located on Spring Street (approximately where the driveway leading to the St. John’s Prep Memorial Gymnasium is today) and was moved to this location on Maple Street in 1914. It is a private residence today.
The ailing Sarah Osborne was one of the first three to be accused of witchcraft and was examined, along with Sarah Good and Tituba, from March 1-4 at the Salem Village meetinghouse. Four village leaders (Sgt. Thomas Putnam and his brother, Deacon Edward Putnam, Joseph Hutchinson, and Rebecca Nurse’s son-in-law Thomas Preston) filed a claim on behalf of the afflicted girls Betty Parris, Abigail Williams, Ann Putnam Jr., and Elizabeth Hubbard on February 29, which led to the arrest of the three women.
The four girls claimed Osborne’s specter pinched them, pricked them (Elizabeth Hubbard said she was stuck with knitting needles), and encouraged them to write in the devil’s book.
Osborne was a perfect target for a witch hunt. She was an ill and fearful woman in her late 40s, possibly suffering from depression, who was an outcast and subject of gossip partly because her second husband had formerly been her indentured servant. As if this were not enough, it was suspected that they had lived as husband and wife prior to marriage. This was a scandal.
In her examination, Osborne said she was “more like to be bewitched than that she was a witch.” In her answers to the magistrates, it seems Osborne was struggling with an anxiety that many felt in 17th century New England, as she confessed that she, “one time in her sleep either saw or dreamed that she saw a thing like an Indian, all black, which did pinch her in the neck and pulled her by the back of the head to the door of the house.” Women and children who lived on the frontier in 1692 feared Native American attack which likely resulted in nightmares for many.
After Osborne’s examination, Tituba, Reverend Samuel Parris’ slave, was questioned. Initially claiming innocence, Tituba eventually confessed to witchcraft (possibly after beatings from her owner Parris) and regaled the crowd with a tale of a ride on a pole with Sarah Osborne and Sarah Good. She said that both women had encouraged her to cut off her own head, at which point Ann Putnam Jr. chimed in: Osborne and Good’s specters had threatened to send Tituba to cut off her head as well, if she would not do it herself.
Osborne was also questioned about her attendance at meeting. It was a long time since she had been seen at church, but the truth was, she had been ill and bedridden. According to notes taken during her examination, her husband and others said that she had not been at meeting for a year and two months.
Another mark against Osborne was an ongoing disagreement with the Putnam family. Sarah’s first husband was Robert Prince. They were married in 1662 and lived on a 150-acre farm in Salem Village, where their closest neighbors were Prince’s sister Rebecca and her husband, Captain John Putnam (the uncle of Thomas Putnam Jr.) The Princes had two sons.
When Prince died in 1674, he named as the executors of his estate his two brothers-in-law: neighbor Captain John Putnam and Lt. Thomas Putnam (father of Thomas Putnam Jr.). His land was left to Sarah to be held in trust until their sons were of age. In 1677, Sarah married Alexander Osborne, whose indenture she had previously purchased for £15. The Osbornes went to court to try to break the trust and gain control of the property. Attempting to disinherit her two boys did not endear Sarah to the Putnams or other villagers. Her property dispute with her sons was ongoing at the time of the trials, and would not be settled until long after her death.
Sarah Osborne, Sarah Good, and Tituba were held for trial. Sarah Osborne was sent to Boston jail on March 7. Two days later, Osborne was put in shackles, since the afflicted claimed they were still tormented by the women’s specters. Osborne became the first victim of the Salem witchcraft hysteria, succumbing to the poor jail conditions. We know her death date, May 10, by a bill submitted by Boston jailer John Arnold: “To the keeping of Sarah Osburn, from the 7th of March to the 10th of May, when she died, being nine weeks and two days, £1. 3s 5d.”
Little is known about Sarah Osborne’s past. According to Clarence Almon Torrey’s New England Marriages Prior to 1700, published in 1860-62 and considered one of the greatest genealogical manuscripts of the twentieth century, she was born Sarah Warren in Watertown, MA. Several sources list her birthdate as circa 1643. Her parents names are unknown.
Additional note: Alexander Osborne remarried after the death of Sarah. His new wife was Ruth (née Cantlebury or Canterbury), the widow of William Sibley, who was the brother of Samuel Sibley (whose wife Mary suggested the “witch cake”) and Mary Sibley, first wife of Jonathan Alcott. The couple joined the church and were respected members of the community. In 1720, years after Alexander’s death, Sarah’s two sons brought suit claiming they had been ill-treated by Alexander and forced to sign away their property rights.

The Prince-Osborne House retains integrity of design, materials, and workmanship in.its two distinct First Period frames and in the noteworthy transitional finish details present in the later frame. The structure embodies distinctive characteristics of form and construction and therefore meets criterion C. The unusual joining of the frame of a single room with late 17th century chamfering and hewn overhang to the frame of a single cell plan house with finish characteristics of c. 1720 represents an atypical practice. More commonly, the chimney bay of the older structure was retained when buildings were enlarged to a double cell
plan. Whether the older left hand rooms are the remains of the original building on the site which lost its chimney bay and received the right hand rooms and chimney bay as an addition, or whether the two frames were joined at a later date is undetermined. The result, however, represents an alternative means of enlarging a First Period structure and a variant of the practise of joining two previously existing frames.
The staircase and the paneling in the right hand room are significant transitional elements dating to c. 1720. The paneling is particularly noteworthy. True paneling, held together by stiles and rails, it goes a step beyond the finish of the Parson Barnard House in the correct rendering of Renaissance-inspired interior panelling in New England. The extreme width of the feathered edges mark the paneling as one of the earliest examples of its type. (See doors in the White-Ellery House of 1711 and fireplace wall paneling of the Paul Revere House for comparable elements). The building also meets criterion D, for the structure is likely to yield more information about the construction and enlargement of First Period buildings if the framing of the left hand rooms and the junction of the two frames is ever available for examination.
EXTERIOR DESCRIPTION
The Prince-Osborne House is a two and one half story building with steeply pitched roof. The main body of the structure, five bays wide and one room deep, incorporates two distinct First Period frames which together make a symmetrical plan. Atypically, the chimney bay appears to be part of the later, right hand frame. There are additions to the sides and rear: a mid 19th century ell to the right rear, a mid 20th century car shed to"the
left, a lean-to to the left rear, and a small wing to the right. The whole is enveloped in simple finishes with clapboards on the facade and shingles elsewhere. Fenestration, evenly spaced on the facade, is of simply framed sash windows throughout. The central doorway is unornamented. A small hewn overhang extends across the facade to the left of the doorway, indicating the location of the earlier frame within. The two chimneys which pierce the rear roof slope are 1915 reproductions of earlier chimneys removed before the house was relocated from its earlier site on Summer Street in Danvers. The location of those chimneys represents a reorientation probably in the late 18th century of the fireplaces in the principal rooms from inner wall served by central chimney to rear wall
First Period framing of different character in the left and right portions of the house is visible in all four front rooms and lobby. The presence of rising brace mortises in the left chimney girt and post is the chief reason to believe that the chimney bay was part of the right hand entity, perhaps at one time a single cell structure (rebuilding in the attic and cellar has obliterated evidence of the house's growth typically found in those locations).
In the left hand room, believed to be the earlier side, the longitudnal summer beam is 12 inches wide and has 1 1/2 inch flat chamfers and triangular curved stops. The chimney post is finished with a flat chamfer and taper stop. Joist spacing is relatively narrow, in the 17-18" range. In the left hand chamber, the summer tie beam has 1 3/4" to 2" flat chamfers (stops, if present, are buried in plaster).
The lobby retains a finely crafted staircase of transitional style; Closely spaced turned balusters are set between a molded closed stringer. The newel post is also turned.
In the right hand room, the only exposed original framing member is the front post supporting the transverse summer beam. The post, a simplified version of the molded post head, has a broad bevel at the lower edge of the head and inch wide flat chamfers on the upright corners. The summer beam, replaced in 1944, was given inch wide flat chamfers replicating those on the original beam. The room retains fine transitional super-raised field paneling on the rear wall, very likely relocated from an original position on the inner wall. Four panels, in which the central field projects above the surrounding bolection, and feather edges are more than two inches wide, are currently mounted horizontally over the rear fireplace. A two panel door with the same super-raised panels is at the right of the fireplace (similar paneling to the left of the fireplace was created in 1944). Pilasters of 18th century construction flank the fireplace. (See significance section for further comment on the paneling and its relocation).
In the right hand chamber, there is a summer tie beam with flat chamfers and a jowled post supporting it. Roof framing was mostly destroyed in a mid-20th century fire, but remnants reveal that an original purlin roof was altered in the 19th century. Common rafters nailed together at the ridge were substituted for the purlins.
LATER SIGNIFICANT FEATURES
In the late 18th century, after the relocation of the fireplaces to the rear wall, three of the four front rooms were given early Federal Period finishes:- a simple mantelpiece and boxed beams with crown moldings in the left hand room, and vertical board beaded sheathing in the fireplace walls in the chambers.
The previous site of the house was part of the farm owned in the late 17th century by Robert Prince who left it to his two sons in trust to his wife Sarah. Sarah, who eventually married her indentured servant, Alexander Osborne, was accused as a witch and died in prison in 1692. Prince's estate was disputed between Prince and Osborne heirs until 1720. Eldest son James Prince received a partial settlement in 1696 which included a house, however. It is difficult to pinpoint the construction date from available physical evidence, but it is likely that the left hand rooms, if original to the site, were constructed by c. 1690. The settling of the estate in 1720 may have paved the way for the enlargement of the house and its embellishment with distinctive transitional finishes. The house was restored in 1944 with the help of architect Phillip Horton Smith. At that time, this paneling was found lining a back hallway. The paneling was
moved to its present location on the basis of the discovery of a cut out for the transverse summer beam which exactly fit. (In addition, one of the priests from St. John's Normal School, which owned the building'prior to its move, confirmed that the paneling had been before 1915 on the rear wall of the right hand room). The same paneling used in a vertical position with the two panel door may have been part of the finish of the presumed original fireplace wall abutting the chimney bay and may have been re-used on the rear wall when the chimneys were relocated in the late 18th century. Although there is no way to confirm the original location of the paneling, or even that it was built for the Prince Osborne House, the paneling does match the staircase stylistically in its date and even in the general character of the molding profiles. The original fireplace
was almost certainly on the inner wall. Also, the paneling is known to have been in the house before the restoration of 1944. This early and significant element and its history of re-use add to our knowledge of 18th century architectural decoration in the study area.

Slaves, Puritans and Poisoned Wheat
Popular history has tried to find pat answers to the causes of the Massachusetts witch trials of 1692. Convenient myths point an accusing finger at the severe and unforgiving Puritans. Others point to a dark-skinned Caribbean slave who supposedly brought witchcraft to Massachusetts from Barbados, or hallucinogenic microbes in the wheat causing the girls of the village to convulse and appear bewitched. In fact, these explanations have little basis in reality. Tituba and her husband, John Indian, black slaves from the Caribbean had no central role in the trials. There is no mention in any of the historical records of Tituba dancing in the woods with the girls, or practicing witchcraft.
While the Puritan religion makes an easy target for blame, most of the ministers of the day signed petitions declaring the innocence of the accused. In general, they were against the tactics of the Salem Judges.
There was even a theory that blamed the seizures of the girls on a microbial infection of the local wheat. In fact, the erratic behavior and gyrations of the accusers was carefully choreographed. This was not random, pathological movement caused by infected food.
There is no easy, convenient and neat explanation. The tragic events in Essex County, Massachusetts were initiated by ill-behaved girls who accused for sport. The court made a tragic situation worse. The accused, presumed guilty by the judges, were tortured until they pleaded guilty, accused others and were set free. If they pleaded innocent, they were executed. One man refused to plead at all and was tortured to death over a three day period. With these judicial tactics it is easy to understand why the number of accused increased dramatically over a short period of time.
What makes tragedies like this all the more tragic is that we do not always learn by our mistakes. How many “witch trials” have there been since 1692 and who have been the accused?
