This may be true but I have not heard or read of it. Rebecca Nurse, Mary Easty and Sarah Cloyce were sisters; daughters of William Towne and Johanna Blessing Towne. Rebecca was hanged first on 19 June 1692 and her sister Mary was hanged on 22 Sept 1692. One of the last seven to suffer such a fate. Sarah escaped, it is said, by confessing that she was a witch. I believe that Mary also was given a reprieve and later re-arrested and tried.
