Abigail Hobbs was a girl of about 14-17 years old when she was arrested for
witchcraft on April 18, 1692, along with Giles Corey, Mary Warren, and Bridget
Bishop. Prior to living in Salem Village now Danvers, Massachusetts, she and
her family had lived in Falmouth, Maine, the frontier of the Massachusetts Bay
Colony, during a time when there were many attacks by the Wabanaki Native
Americans. Her father William and mother, Deliverance Hobbs, were also both
charged with witchcraft.
