Individual:

reprieved
attainder removed after 11 years of petitions
said God would not require her to confess that which she wasn't guilty of
jailed for 13 weeks
Abigail Dane was examined for witchcraft by the court on August 11, 1692. On August 30 she was brought out of jail
for more proceedings and sentenced to death as a witch on September 17. Like Rebecca Nourse, she refused to save her life
by falsely saying she was a witch. She insisted that God would not require her to confess something for which she was not
guilty. Her daughters, 12 year old Dorothy Faulkner and Dorothy's little sister Abigail, were also jailed as witches. After
13 weeks of imprisonment, and many efforts by Rev. Dane and Abigail's husband Francis Faulkner, Gov.
William Phipps reprieved Abigail, releasing her because of insufficient evidence and her pregnancy. Hers was the only
special pardon he issued. But the record still listed her as a convicted, pardoned witch, and on June 13, 1706 she
appealed to the General Court for her record to be erased.
1692 - sentenced to death as witch, reprieved, attainder removed after 11
years of petitions.
Said God would not require her to confess that which she wasn't guilty
of; jailed for 13 weeks.
