Roberta, >It is my understanding that these women were released and possibly >acquitted but not much else. Timothy Day's wife was Pheobe Wildes >(Wilder, Wilde). Phoebe WILDES was the sister of Sarah (Wildes) BISHOP; wife of Edward/2 BISHOP. Sarah and Edward were arrested, too but escaped. Both were daughter of John and Priscilla (Gould) WILDES. After Priscilla's death, their father married 2nd, Sarah AVERILL. She was the Sarah (Averill) WILDES who was hanged 19 July 1692. Phoebe did sign a petition asking to be released from prison in Ipswich in Dec of 1692 but apparently whatever followed in her regard no longer exists. There is record that some were released after posting bonds. Kathy Buffington Willett [email protected]
