Biography
"The Witchcraft Trial of Mary Lacye Garner - 1635. Thomas Garner’s wife was tried by water for witchcraft in Shropshire, England. In a trial by water, the person was weighed down with stones and thrown in the river. If she was able to free her bonds and escape without drowning, she was deemed to have received help from the Devil and was consequently burned at the stake. If she drowned, as Mary Lacye Garner did, she was judged innocent and was given a christian burial at the expense of the Crown to amend for the wrongful death. After the experience of having his wife killed in this witch trial, Thomas Garner took his 2 year old son John and traveled to Northumberland Co., Virginia."
