  ANN FOSTER “In 1692, when Joseph Ballard’s wife, Elizabeth, came down with a fever that baffled doctors, witchcraft was thought to be the cause. Soon, the search for the responsible witch began. Two of the afflicted girls of Salem village, Ann Putnam and Mary Walcott, were taken to Andover to seek out the witch. At the sight of Ann Foster, the girls fell into fits, and Ann, 72, was subsequently arrested and taken to Salem prison.” (3) In 1692, this aged and infirm widow was accused of witchcraft; and feeble though she was, she was carried from her home to prison and examined four times in the court at Salem. “Ann was examined on July 15, July 16, July 18 and July 21. Under pressure from her examiners, she not only confessed that the devil had appeared to her in the shape of a bird, but also implicated Martha Carrier and Rev. George Burroughs, who had previously been arrested. (Ann’s examiners were looking for evidence to use at the trials of Martha Carrier and Rev. Burroughs). “Harassed by the magistrates, she agreed to everything alleged against her and even confessed to a series of additional atrocities. Like others before and after her, she admitted that she had employed the traditional practice of making images of people she disliked and running pins through their bodies. Nor did she deny that she had caused the death of one of Andrew Allen’s children, probably a niece of “Goody” Carrier.” When Ann Foster was testifying against Martha Carrier, she declared that she had ridden on a stick with Martha to Salem Village and had there met with three hundred witches, among whom were not only the Reverend George Burroughs (afterwards executed) but also “another minister with gray hair,” who resembled Mr. Dane. But nobody dared take the crucial step of charging him directly with witchcraft. Not long afterwards, when Ann’s daughter, Mary (Foster) Lacey, and granddaughter, Mary Lacey, were also accused and arrested, Ann Foster refused to implicate her daughter and rose to her defense, saying “I know no more of my daughter being a witch that what day I shall die upon.” (3) This protest accomplished nothing. The constable reported that they had found “a parcel of rags and a parcel of quills which none of the family could explain.” Ann’s daughter insisted that both she and her mother were witches, and her little granddaughter confirmed the story. Thus, All three women confessed to being witches. When Ann Foster, in her despair, was heard mumbling to herself and was asked what she was saying, she answered, “I am praying to the Lord.” “What God do witches pray to?” inquired one examiner. The poor woman could only reply hopelessly, “I cannot tell; the Lord help me.” Ann Foster, was condemned as a “confessing witch,” as was her daughter, and granddaughter, but they were all later reprieved. Because they confessed, their lives were spared and they continued in prison. Ann Foster died in Salem prison on December 3, 1692. Her son, Abraham Foster, in petitioning later for the removal of her body, declared that he had been compelled to pay the jailer 2 pounds, 10 shillings before he was allowed to remove his mother’s dead body for burial. Ann’s daughter and grandaughter were released the following year.” (From Find A Grave) - Convicted in Salem Witch Trials. A careful reading of the trial transcripts reveals that Ann resisted confessing to the 'crimes' she was accused of having committed, despite being "put to the question" (i.e., tortured) multiple times over a period of days. However, her resolve broke when her daughter Mary Lacey, similarly accused of witchcraft, accused her own mother of the crime in order to save herself. The transcripts reveal the anguish of a mother attempting to shield her (undeserving) child by taking the burden of guilt upon herself. Convicted, Ann later died in the jail in the winter of 1693. Ann was more fortunate in her son, Abraham, who later petitioned the authorities to clear her name ("remove the attainder") and reimburse the family for the expenses associated with her incarceration and burial, doubtless at some risk to himself.
