Salem's First Witches

The people accused of witch craft on Betty and Abigail were Sarah Good, Sarah Osborne, and Tituba. Sarah Good was a homeless woman who would beg for food and money. She was accused of witch craft because of her bad reputation. She was also accused of the devil's act because she would scorn children when she passed them on the street, instead, you were supposed to "lead them on the right path and the path of righteousness". On the other hand, Sarah  Osborne hardly ever attended church meetings. The Puritans believed that she had her own self-interests and that the church wasn't important enough. Finally, Tituba was a slave who had different religious values than the Puritans in Salem. Sarah Good was found guilty and hanged, while Sarah Osborne died in prison awaiting her trial. However, Tituba confessed and was put in jail. Tituba was never tried or executed, but instead was bought by another owner.

This is Sarah Good's headstone in Salem.
