Hi Katheryn,
I have to say my heart jumped a beat when I opened my e-mail and saw a
message awaiting me from "Katheryn A. Carrier" My mother was also
"Katheryn" (unusual spelling) Carrier and she died in 2001. You are the
only other KC with that spelling I have ever found.
As to the Salem witches - I am glad to see someone actually had a doubt
about old Martha. I think she was framed, as many of them were. I have
several different written accounts I have collected from numerous sources
and this is also the first I have heard of Judge Sewall. Thanks for sharing
this with us.
Linda Carrier Soloski

For those who are really into the witch trials.
There's really nothing here about Martha except her sister Mary
Toothaker was one of her accusers. I didn't remember reading that before.
Judge Sewall wasn't really certain of their [the condemned] guilt,
especially regarding Martha.
