The Possession of Elizabeth Knapp
The possession of Elizabeth Knapp of Groton, Massachusetts was documented by Samuel Willard, a prominent preacher in the Puritan, Massachusetts Bay Colony from October 30, 1671 until January 12, 1672.〔Samuel Willard. "A Brief Account of a Strange and Unusual providence of God Befallen to Elizabeth Knapp of Groton (1671–1672)," in ''Witches of the Atlantic World: A Historical Reader and Primary Sourcebook'', ed. Elaine G. Breslaw (New York University Press, 2000), 235–245.〕 More significantly, Willard sent letters to the Puritan minister Cotton Mather who published an account of Elizabeth Knapp's possession in his Magnalia Christi Americana.
Knapp, who was sixteen at the time was the daughter of a farmer and the servant in the house of Willard. Her possession, which has striking resemblance to those that are seen in Salem some twenty years later,〔Elaine G. Breslaw, ''Witches of the Atlantic World: A Historical Reader and Primary Sourcebook'' (New York: New York University Press, 2000), 230.〕 serves as an insight into Puritan life and society.
==Life in Groton==
Groton, Massachusetts is located 32 miles NW of Boston. During the time of Elizabeth Knapp's possession it was located in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. In 1676, just four years after the Knapp case, the town was attacked by 400 Native Americans, all but a few of the homes were destroyed in the attack.〔"(Groton, Mass )," NewEnglandTowns.org, accessed November 6, 2010.〕 Groton had an overwhelmingly strict religious atmosphere being predominately Puritan, as well as holding views that women should contribute in the community labor.〔Ross, Richard J.
