  • Summary

  • In this episode of Witch Hunt Victim Stories, host Mary Bingham delves into the life of Susannah Martin, born in Olney, England in 1621. The episode explores her early life, migration to Massachusetts, and subsequent hardships. Susannah faced accusations of infanticide and witchcraft amid legal battles over her father's estate. Despite numerous appeals, she and her family often lost in court, culminating in her conviction and execution for witchcraft in 1692. Susannah's resilience is remembered, and she was posthumously exonerated in 2001. Now, a highway in Massachusetts bears her name, honoring her memory.
