REBECCA NURSE

Respected churchgoer and matriarch, Rebecca Nurse was the only accused witch to be found not guilty. More than 40 friends and neighbors had testified to her faith and good character. The verdict, however, sparked such a terrifying outcry from the accusers that the chief judge ordered the jury to reconsider. They then found Nurse guilty, and she was hanged on July 19, 1692.
