Biography

From “Who Begot Thee? Some Genealogical and Historical Notes Made in an effort to trace the American progenitors of one individual living in America in 1903” By Gilbert O. Bent, 1903.

Mary Parker. 1716-1758. Oldest child of Joseph. Born at Groton Oct. 12, 1716. Married at Groton Jan. 4, 1733, William Longley. Died at Shirley Aug. 7, 1758.

The many early Parkers in New England begot many early Mary Parkers, and there is, naturally, some confusion about them. In 1692, during the Salem witchcraft frenzy, a Mary Parker was hanged as a witch. At her examination she was asked, " How long have ye been in the snare of the devil ? " She answered : " I know nothing of it. There is another woman of the same name in Andover." Nevertheless she was hanged. In 1710 an act was passed by the General Court of Massachusetts reversing the witchcraft convictions and declaring them to be null and void. The representatives of the witch, Mary Parker, received from the government of Massachusetts the munificent sum of £8. as compensation for her illegal execution.
