I've traced one of the "afflicted children" Mercy Lewis, from Salem Village to Greenland, New Hampshire where she lived with her aunt and uncle, Mercy and Abraham Lewis where she had an illegitament baby by Charles Allen Jr who later married her and the family moved to Boston. Has anyone been able to research and family tree Charles and Mercy and descendents, if any? No one has discovered for sure the fates of Mary Warren, Susanna Sheldon, Elizabeth Hubbard or Abigail Williams. John Hale's account hints that it might have been Abigail who died young and Arthur Miller stated there is a story or legend that Abigail ended up as a prostitute in Boston{haven't found anything stating that anywhere else--and if true it might have been Mary Warren who was chasing the real John Procter--who was sixty, twenty years married to wife number 3 and very well-to-do--but Mary might have been hoping to be wife number 4} The fates of these four might verify Robert Calef's accusation that some of the afflicted were "vile valerts" who lived sin-filled lives post-trials(and possibly before) and lists incest as one of the sins. I always wondered--how did Calef know--the charges he made would earn him a slander suit now if not true!
