Dorothy Good


Dorothy Good was the daughter of William Good and Sarah Good. Both Dorothy and her mother were accused of practicing witchcraft in Salem at the very beginning of the Salem witch trials in 1692. Only four years old at the time, she was interrogated by the local magistrates, confessed to being a witch and purportedly claimed she had seen her mother consorting with the devil. Mary Walcott and Ann Putnam Jr. claimed the child was deranged and repeatedly bit them as if she were an animal.

Dorothy had a younger sister, Mercy, who was born after Sarah Goods arrest and died shortly after birth, likely from malnourishment and the harsh conditions of imprisonment.
