About this deal

When their son James died suddenly in 2002 during an epileptic seizure, the Hirst family set up the James Hirst Research Fund to raise money for research into the causes and treatment of epilepsy. The fund has supported Epilepsy Society, most recently for our 3T MRI Scanner and our research programme. Mary Walcott:Another one of the "afflicted" who accused Howe of witchcraft. Mary'sname appears on the arrest warrant and the two indictments of Howe. Magistrate]: Those that have confessed, they tell us they used images & pins, now tell us what you have used.

May 10: Susannah Post, Eunice Frye, Mary Bridges Jr., Mary Barker, and William Barker Jr. are tried and found not guilty. Sarah Cole (of Salem), Dorothy Faulkner, Abigail Faulkner Jr., Martha Tyler, Johannah Tyler, Sarah Wilson Sr., and Sarah Wilson Jr. are cleared by proclamation. A grand jury fails to indict Tituba. John Indian cried out ‘O she bites,’ and fell into a grievous fit, & so carried to her in his fit & was well upon her grasping him.

Sir Colin Chandler

Adding to its rich history, Salem has become a center for thousands of practitioners of the Wiccan faith, which has no relation to the satanic imaginations of 1692. It’s hard to know where the dark history fades and the spiritual or lighthearted steps in. May 14: The Rev. Increase Mather and Sir William Phips, the newly appointed governor of the colony, arrive in Boston. They bring with them a new charter establishing the Province of Massachusetts Bay. He was formerly chief executive of Guinness and honorary treasurer of Oxfam. He graduated from Oriel College, Oxford, with a degree in chemistry. He was also a keen sportsman and gained three blues for rowing for Oxford in the University boat race between 1946 and 1948 and also rowed in the Olympic Games in 1948. He was a member of the Independent Broadcasting Authority from 1976 to 1981 and a member of the Civil Aviation Authority from 1984 to 1990. The Lord Stevenson of Coddenham CBE Vital Records of Ipswich, Massachusetts: To the End of the Year 1849, Volume 2, Marriages and Deaths. The Essex Institute, 1910. Mary Walcott said that this woman the examinant had pinched her & choked this month. Ann Putnam said she had hurt her three times.

August 19: Martha Carrier, George Jacobs Sr., John Willard, George Burroughs, and John Proctor are hanged on Gallows Hill. Elizabeth Proctor is temporarily spared execution because she is pregnant. Anger followed by mischief is one form of evidence that was brought against Elizabeth Howe. The Perley (sometimes spelled Pearly) family, who had also accused her of afflicting their ten-year-old daughter, blamed the sudden illness of the family's cow upon her. [2] This was due, they claimed, to the fact that they had thwarted Elizabeth Howe's chance of becoming a member of the Ipswich Church. Samuel Perley (or Pearly) stated: "the above said goode how had a mind to joyn to Ipswich Church thai being unsatisfied sent to us to bring in what we had against her and when we had decleared to them what we knew thai se cause to put a stop to her coming into the Church". Samuel went on to explain a few days afterwards his cow suddenly went mad and ran into a pond drowning herself. [2] He has spoken and lectured on epilepsy and the law, and has served on commissions and taskforces of the principal international epilepsy organisations.April 13: Ann Putnam Jr. accuses Giles Corey of witchcraft and alleges that a man who died at Corey's house also haunts her. The behavior of several children in the home of the Goodwin family in Boston results in the accusation, trial and execution of their Irish washerwoman, Ann Glover (also known as "Goody Glover"), for witchcraft.

Abigail Williams: Only 11 years old, and her name appears on the arrest warrant for Howe. She lived in the house of Samuel Parris, who had political motivations for the trials. The Saturday after that my wife was taken after a raving frenzy manner expressing in a raging manner that Goody Howe must come into the church and that she was a precious saint and though she were condemned before men she was justified before God and continued in this frame for the space of three or four hours after that my wife fell into a kind of a trance for the space of two or three minutes. She then coming to herself opened her eye and said that ‘I was mistaken.’ No answer was made by the standards by and again she said ‘Ha! I was mistaken.’ Major Appleton’s wife standing by said ‘Wherein art mistaken?’‘I was mistaken,’ said she ‘For I thought Goody Howe had been a precious saint of God but now I see she is a witch for she hath bewitched me and my child and we shall never be well till there is testimony for her that she may be taken into the church’…” Perley also told the story about when Howe tried to join the Ipswich church. He said when the church officials asked him to provide testimony either for or against Howe, he responded by telling them the story about his daughter. I feel shriven all day long. Nearly 20 years after Lizzie was killed, I still don't cope with it at all well. The details of Lizzie's death are like a horrible secret, but like the troll lurking under the kitchen table waiting to pounce and devour you, it is a secret that will come out. It has the malevolence of a cancer cell – it quietly grows and grows, and I know deep down that if I fail to respect it, it has the potential to overwhelm me. Strafford claimed when Howe tried to join the church, church officials held a meeting and Howe bewitched his wife into attending the meeting. A few days later, Strafford said his son began behaving as if he was also bewitched and his wife fell into a strange trance:I am hoping to write Sarah’s history in her true light to extinguish the wrong done her and her co-defendants, and this small piece will enable me to gain a clearer picture of hw she was caught up in the furor orchestrated in part by one Cotton Mather and his ilk.
