Alice Parker (Salem)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alice Parker, a resident of Salem Town, Massachusetts, was executed on September 22, 1692 during the Salem Witch Trials.[1] Martha Corey, Mary Eastey, Ann Pudeator, and Dorcas Hoar were convicted and sentenced to death by hanging at the same time.[2] Also hung on that day were Mary (Ayer) Parker[3] and Samuel Wardwell. Nicholas Noyes officiated.
Mary Bradbury was sentenced, but not hung.
The charges against Alice included the murder of Mary Warren's mother [4].
Some sources note that Alice was the wife of John Parker. There were several Parker families in the area which has resulted in some confusion.[5]
