Biography
Date of birth estimated - based on age of other relatives.
She passed away at Ipswich, Massachusetts Bay Colony 1672. She married John Proctor before they immigrated to Massachusetts about 1635. The family first settled at Ipswich and later removed to Salem. They had at least seven children: Martha, Abigail, Sarah and Hannah, and three sons: John, Joesph, and Benjamin. Her husband outlived her.[1][2]
Research Note
It has been questioned whether Martha (_____) Proctor was a sister of George Giddings, since John Proctor called him "my brother Giddings." The findings are that Martha Proctor and George Giddings could not have been siblings, half or step siblings. It is possible, though not probably that when his 1st wife died, John Proctor married as his second wife, Martha Giddings. Or also possible that John Proctor ad George Giddings had children that married. Or additionally possible that the two men were "brothers in the church" and that no other relationship existed between them.[3]
