List of All Persons Accused of Witchcraft in 1692
(borrowed from Case Studies in Quantitative Reasoning, Fall 1987; originally found in Salem-Village Witchcraft, ed. by Paul Boyer & Stephen Nissenbaum. Belmont, California: Wadsworth Publishing Company, Inc. 1972.)
[The date given is the date of the warrant or complaint. While all of these individuals were accused, not all were actually imprisoned. Where the specific date is unknown, it is probable that the accusation occurred in June 1692 or after.]
[You will notice from the list of towns below that Salem was, in 1692, two communities: Salem Village and Salem Town. Adjacent to Salem lay Andover, Beverly, Lynn, Marblehead, Reading, and Topsfield. Beyond these towns lay Salisbury, Wells (Maine), Woburn, Charlestown, Haverhill, Ipswich, Gloucester, Manchester, Rumney Marsh, Malden, Rowley, Amesbury, Boxford, Chelmsford, Billerica, and, of course, Boston.]
