Notes for Ann PUTNAM
• One of the accusers involved with the Salem Witchcraft Trial
• She was friends with some of the girls who claimed to be afflicted by witchcraft and, in March 1692, proclaimed to be afflicted herself. She is responsible for the accusations of 62 people,[1] which, along with the accusations of others, resulted in the execution of twenty people, as well as the deaths of several others in prison.
• One of the falsely accused women was Rebecca Nurse. Several Putnam family members signed a petition seeking Rebecca Nurse's reprieve from hanging. It was granted for a time but when it ran out, she was hung.
