Salem Witches
This historical database lists over 200 individuals accused of witchcraft in New England between 1647 and 1697. The scope of
the list is limited to individuals who were formally accused and underwent a trial process in a town court proceeding. Be aware that
many "accusations" took place on an informal basis or did not actually reach trial, hence these individuals would not be listed in
the database. Though the database is entitled "Salem Witches" database, many of those listed in this collection were accused before
or after the Salem trial in 1692 and resided in areas outside Salem, most notably Andover, Gloucester, Rowley, and other towns in
Massachusetts, as well as towns in Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Maine. The database lists the year the accused stood trial, first
and last name, town or village where the trial took place, and the outcome of the trial (confession, acquittal, execution, escape,
etc.).
