Biography
Sarah (Smith) Eastman was involved in the Salem Witch trials
That her maiden name was "Smith" relies on tradition[1] plus notations in That Man Eastman,[2]
- What is the source for her being daughter of Ralph Smith? In absence of evidence, she's been detached from any parents. Two other publications, the 1915 article and the 1938 Pillsbury book both reject that tradition and give her name as Sarah Unknown. Her origins are therefore also unknown. [3]
Roger and Sarah Eastman were among the numerous townspeople signing a petition on July 22, 1692 in favor of Mary Bradbury during her trial as a witch as Salem. [4]
Birth
- 1621[5]
- (Salisbury, England?)
Death
Sarah Eastman, wid., died Mar. 11, 1697/8. N. CT. BK., in Salisbury, Massachusetts. [6][7]
