She was accused of killing her first husband before the witchcraft accusation so that made me wonder if she actually was a witch. If you have any advice or know of witchcraft among the nobles please reply, thank you.
Pretty interesting. Do you have any information about Slavic witch craft? Or serbian witches? There are stories in our family. I have ancestors with that last name. Is it possible I could be? I have the same last name so information would be appreciated if you come across anything!
I am hoping to find more information on Isabella Rigby. My family tree goes back to the Rigby family in Lancashire but I can not find much more on Isabella other than her hanging death in Any suggestions on where to look?
Maybe try looking up Lancashire folklore or archived records from their online libraries. If you live in that area, you could go to the local libraries and look more up, no doubt.
I came across your comment googling Isabella Rigby who was my 10th great-grandmother. We are cousins! I still share her last name and live in the US. I found some info that she was accused by neighbors. I do know that she was very old when it happened, and I found a petition that she filed some decades before for the care of a child.
Apparently we are related too! Hi Alivia, I have Isabella Rigby in my family tree. I have seen records of male Rigbys being accused as witches and sent to trial.
This is really nice ,and I also connected five Names of my ancestors with the names of the witches. If this is true , i found These to be my ancestors. Forbee , i found in my ancestery furby. This was cool to read. My maiden name is Barnes, my paternal grandfather Barnes is from North Carolina. I would love to research this more.

Doing ancestral research last year, I discovered that I am descended from a real witch. A true witch who lived after being accused of witchcraft. She followed astrology closely and also did folk magic.
Clearly was a confident witch. Luckily she had money and powers seen and unseen. She managed to go free and start over in NY state after CT ran her out. Learning that I am descended directly from a witch who lived is inspiring. I know they found peace on the other side though.
I have some gifts through my Ayers family lineage. Hi Maggie! Nice to meet you here. I am sorry for the loss of your ancestor but glad it pushes you to research and get to know her well. I am an Ayres, my last name has been changed repeatedly between Ayres and Ayers over the years. And obviously my curiosity with the craft has been on my mind and ive wondered about my family which lead me to this site.
On a whim I looked at the comments. But for the moment, I did not even try to find out if my name was related to a line of witches or not. I was just looking for the Samson of Normandy, and to see this name of Sampson in this atypical list challenged me.
And rather impressive. Thank you for this article, it helped me a lot. I am wondering why no one ever mentions the witches of Mexico. Catemaco, Mexico is literally full of very good witches. Perhaps it is the way they carry out their incantions or maybe just not enough people really know about them. My mothers family comes from decendants of the craft way back. My great, great grandfather was tasked to bring down the witches that would steal the cinnamon tree branches, so the ability to stop or allow the passage through the Cinnamon tree orchards was very important to the town as this was one of the major money makers for the town and the people that lived there.
I know it might sound a little bit odd but the value of cinnamon back in those days is equivalent to the Vanilla Bean today. Witches were drawn to the tree groves and still to this day most witches utilize cinnamon for their incantations. This is SO interesting to me! The cinnamon being worth a lot makes sense to me!

I am interested to see what you have in Eastern Europe. I have Hungarian and Ukrainian heritage and my grandmother has told me on several occasions that a few relatives practiced herbal crafts. As shown from Scottish Witch Bloodlines.. Not just one, but my actual full name is present. My name is Lindsay Porter, correct spelling in all. Started books and spells at an early age. Good Vibes! The surnames for me are Bruce and Hall. I do know that there were Bruces that helped with the witch trials as well.
Do you know anything about the bruce lineage in the trials? I know a woman whom is very educated in this topic,whom like yourself is a true by bloodline witch of Norwegian desent. As you are gemini so is she. Her and I dated for nearly 5 years before we parted ways but in those five years I was educated in some truth on this matter of witchcraft sorcery or however one may describe it.
I never was a believer nor disbeliever of this matter when we came together,I assure you and any others who may question the truth of this subject that i now am neither a believer or no believer , I now am a knower of this truth ,fact , existence reality. I do believe we all have the ability to change, manipulate,control or cast our will upon people objects things etc.
Actually I know we do. Certain individuals are more prevailent than others. I have witnessed this woman throw an object of mine of great value across a room and break it, and never physically touch it,all done from the powers of her mind or chi energy more so I believe.
Not fully a knower on the chi subject as of yet but yes a believer. Fact is we all posses the abilities, recognizing it and knowing it is truth ,fact, is most likely the first and hardest step in being able to harness and control the abilities to use it or manifest by use of it.
Never witnessed her using it when all was normal or happy moments. But mad best lookout if you are on the receiving end of her hatred at that moment. We ,her and I reside in Florida although we are no longer together I still have contact with her.
So that said if your reside here also I could offer you an avenue for help. That said to get to that state of being is up to you to find, it could be one simple thing to achieve it or a combine of things. Hope this helps somewhat. Best to you.. Good fortune to you and to all. Peace and please always use your abilities to manifest positive energy never negative.
Gemini I know you will…I wonder do you have blue eyes? Just a thought. Do you have the email of this women Id like to talk to her… I am related to the witch bloodline.
Thanks, blessings. I did a bit of looking awhile back through my Italian side i believe i traced some of my family to Naples Italy. Susannah is my 12th ggm as well.. Inam also gifted. I was always cudioys if the persecuted witches descendants had powers and abilities. I know that Susannah was a Pious Christian woman.
So , having natural abilities is a curious thing , isnt it? Xo, Tracy. I am related to Bruce as well. Robert De Bruce is my 21st great grandfather. My grandmother was a Porter maiden. His last name is Langford, though. My DNA profile has me as predom Scottish. Most of the victims were hanged, one pressed to death with rocks. Plus the Putnam name is associated with the accusers, not the actual witches. No one was burnt in Salem. Hung mostly and one man Corey Giles was pressed to death with large stones.
Build a family tree and research your familial last names against witch trial lists. Putnam; as Admin states, no accused witches were burned at the stake in Salem. They were hung or pressed to death, with any number also dying in the prison of the usual ailments associated with imprisonment at that time. Also, Ann Putnam and her family were among the accusers, not the accused.
The Nordic patronyms Jonsdotter and Eriksdotter would only exist for a generation, and it would be impossible to decide whether you are related to them unless they are placed by the name of the farm they were born on or the one they lived and died on.
Any daughter of Erik would be Eriksdotter and her children would not share her last name. While that is traditionally true, a lot of families chose to keep that as a surname for many generations especially if they moved somewhere else. I know women with the surname of Erikson or Ericsson. Merri meet, You have nothing on eastern European witches as you all call them? Why is that? And if you are a descendant, you will know.
The elders of your family will always tell you. The power is more like a connection in your bloodline to all and everything around you. Because you know if you back up everything is one. I had to break the articles up into pieces — Europe is a large continent. It depends on the region and the individual. The local officials subjected the young girls to intense questioning, and soon the girls began naming names.
The three women were arrested and held for questioning. A few weeks later two more suspects, Martha Cory and Rebecca Nurse, were arrested on similar charges. And at the end of April a sixth person -the Reverend George Burroughs, a minister that Abigail Williams identified as the leader of the witches- was arrested and imprisoned.
The girls continued to name names. By the middle of May, more than people had been arrested for witchcraft. He immediately set up a special court, the Court of Oyer and Terminer, to hear the witchcraft trials that were clogging the colonial legal system.
She was quickly found guilty of witchcraft, sentenced to death, and hung on June They were hung on July One woman, Elizabeth Proctor, was spared because she was pregnant- and the authorities did not want to kill an innocent life along with a guilty one.
The remaining five women were executed on August Only four were executed: one person was reprieved, and another woman managed to escape from prison with the help of friends. The remaining sentences were carried out on September REVERSAL OF FORTUNE By now the hysteria surrounding the witch trials was at its peak: 19 accused "witches" had been hung, about 50 had "confessed" in exchange for lenient treatment, more than people accused of witchcraft were under arrest and awaiting trial -and another people had been accused of witchcraft but had not yet been arrested.
Despite all this, the afflicted girls were still exhibiting bizarre behavior. But public opinion began to turn against the trials. Community leaders began to publicly question the methods that the courts used to convict suspected witches. The accused were denied access to defense counsel, and were tried in chains before jurors who had been chosen from church membership lists. The integrity of the girls then came into question.
