109. Witch Trials: Susannah Martin (part 1)

It's been a while since we talked about one of the innocent victims of the Salem Witch Trials, so let's get back to it, with Susannah Martin, part one. Join Jeffrey and Sarah, your favorite Salem tour guide as they walk the life of the 71 year old widow from Amsbury. Lets chat about her accusations of a witch nearly two decades before 1962, how her step-mother was the primary receivership of her fathers will and was having so many kids really a good thing?
