I am a descendent of Sarah (Wildes) Bishop, accused and imprisoned, along with her husband, Edward Bishop, Jr., in April of 1692. Being a writer myself, my family has asked that I attempt to write a family history story based on the events that took place. >From what I've been able to ascertain so far, Sarah and Edward were accused of witchcraft and imprisoned, only awaiting death warrants, when they escaped from prison and fled to New York. I've been able to find nothing that indicates how they might have escaped, or who might have helped them. With so little actual documentation of those times, I've not even seen a reference to whether they imprisoned husbands and wives together. If so, the question is still how (and with whose help) did they escape. If not, I've got a whole other mystery to unravel: how they both escaped! If anyone can remember reading anything about this, please let me know by private e-mail. I'm certainly not adverse to a little literary license, but I'd like to at least base it on as much fact as I can find. If you know the story and have an opinion or idea, please let me know also. Thanks, all, for your input!
