Elizabeth Proctor (Salem witch trials)
Elizabeth Proctor (née Bassett; 1652 – unknown) was accused of witchcraft in the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. She was the wife of John Proctor, and remarried after his execution.
==Early life==
Elizabeth was born in Lynn, Massachusetts, and was the daughter of William Bassett and Sarah Burt.〔Perley, Sidney. (1903) ''The Essex Antiquarian, Volume 7'' p. 77 Salem, Mass: Essex Antiquarian ()〕〔Lindberg, Marcia Wiswall. (2004) ''Early Lynn Families'' p. 66 Salem, Mass: Higginson Book Co.〕〔Virkus, Frederick Adams. (1965) ''Immigrants to America Before 1750'' p 207 Baltimore: Genealogical Pub. Co.〕 She married John Proctor in 1674 in Salem, Massachusetts.
Elizabeth's grandmother was Ann (Holland) Bassett Butt, a Quaker and a midwife. The Puritans felt there was something "witchlike" about Quakers. Since Ann was not a doctor, but was successful at caring for those who were ill, some felt she could only have these skills if she were a witch. She was charged with witchcraft in 1669. One of those who testified against Ann was Phillip Read, a doctor. These accusations left a taint in the memories of residents and may have contributed to Elizabeth's persecution.〔Robinson, Enders A. (1991) ''The Devil Discovered, Salem Witchcraft 1692'', Hippocrene Books, New York, NY pg 282〕
