Notes for Mary Bridgman
When she died suddenly within two years of her marriage, her husband and her father "imagined that her death was caused by some 'unnatural means,' and superstition at once suggested witchcraft." They accused Mary Parsons, wife of Joseph Parsons of Northampton, and a trial was held in Boston in May 1675. She was found not guilty and released.21
