About Margaret Corey
NOTE: Margaret Deven Corey was dead thirty years before the Salem Witch Trials. Do not confuse with the third wife of Giles Corey, Martha Penover Corey, who was convicted of witchcraft.
Margaret Deven (circa 1610 - before 1664), the first wife of Giles Corey (circa 1611 - 1692), was born circa 1610 in England. She died before April 1664, when Corey married his second wife, Mary Bright. Following the death of Mary, Corey married Martha Penover, who was convicted of witchcraft and executed by hanging during the 1692 Salem witch trials.
