[24] It would seem from the _Records_, (as published by Mr. Woodward) that Cary's name was _Nathaniel_. In Savage, we find that _Jonathan_ Cary of Charlestown had Wife Hannah Winsor; that _Nathaniel_ was Brother to Jonathan, and that they were Sons to James Cary, who came to Charlestown in or before 1639. Complaint was made against Mrs. Cary by Mr. Thomas Putnam and Benjamin Hatchinson, both of Salem Village. The Complaint was that she had bewitched the miscreant Girls before-mentioned, Mary Walcott, Abigall Willyams and Mercy Lewis. Mrs. Cary's Husband is styled "Capt. Nathaniell Cary of Charls Towne, Marener."--_Records_, ii., 196. [25] He was the Son of the Pilgrim John of the Mayflower. See an Account of him and his Persecution in _Hist. and Antiqs. Boston_, 499. Also _Records S. W._, ii., 196. His Accusers were the same Wretches--Mary Lewis, Abigail Williams, Elizabeth Booth, Mary Walcott, Elizabeth Hubbard, Ann Putnam and Mary Warren. The Warrant for his Commitment was dated May 31st, 1692, as will be seen immediately onward. [26] The same, probably, mentioned before. See Vol. ii, Page 75. [27] The original Mittimus does not appear among the Records preserved at Salem. If preserved, it has not been discovered. [28] Their Names may, probably, nearly all be collected from the Records. Interest should prompt some one to make the Attempt. [29] Their Names have already appeared. Capt. Sewall was the well known Judge Sewall. [30] See the long and tedious Testimonies against her in Vol. I, Pages 163-174, and of the same ridiculous Character as others; yet not so ridiculous there as in the original _Records_, which see. Ezekiel Cheever took down the Examination. [31] Of this Abstract Dr. Mather says: "His first and main Design is to render me odious unto the Countrey, as being one chief _Abettor_ of that Opinion, That the Devils cannot afflict in the Shape of an Innocent Person; and as being an _Inciter_ of the Judges, to the Conviction of _Witchcrafts_ upon that Opinion. It is very certain that his Conscience must needs tell him, this is a most _Lying Accusation_. For in my Book of _Memorable Providences_, which I writ before the Troubles at _Salem_, and even _before I was so fully acquainted with the Wiles of Satan_, (for my saying of which, on a certain Occasion, he flouts at me) I have a whole Paragraph to caution against _accounting a bewitched Persons pretending to see an Apparition of such or such an one, an Argument of their being Naughty People_. And some of the Chief Ministers in this Land favoured that Book with their Attestation, however my Friend Calef now Derides it." This was the Work recommended by Mr. Baxter.
