==Background==
Elizabeth Jackson Howe was born circa 1635 near Rowley, Yorkshire, the daughter of William and Joane Jackson. Elizabeth married James Howe in April 1658; the couple had six children, and resided in Topsfield, Massachusetts.〔Ancestry.com〕 Topsfield was a Puritan community. They were a deeply pious society, with an extreme religious focus not only as a community but also on an individual basis.〔Bruic, Lisa. "A Historical and Legal Analysis of the Salem Witchcraft Hysteria", Dissertation Brigham Young University (1983).〕 They believed firmly in the devil, and felt that he was not only an enemy to mankind, but to the Puritans specifically. "The devil, as envisioned by the people of Salem, was a short, black man with cloven feet who stood about as high as a walking stick".〔 The fight against the devil was viewed as an individual religious responsibility.〔
