Sarah Martin (Witch Trial) Memorial

Sarah Martin was taken from her home in Amesbury to be tried and hanged during the Salem Witch Trials.
In the 19th century, poet John Greenleaf Whittier composed "The Witch's Daughter" about Martin.

"Let Goody Martin rest in peace, I never knew her harm a fly,

And witch or not - God knows - not I?

I know who swore her life away;

And as God lives, I'd not condemn

An Indian dog on word of them

The actual reason for the witchcraft accusation was because of a land ownership/inheritance dispute and subsequent lawsuit the Martins had filed.
