Richard Carrier

Richard Carrier (1674-1749) - The son of Thomas and Martha Allen Carrier of Andover, Richard and his siblings would be examined after their mother was arrested for witchcraft on May 28, 1692. All four children would confess to witchcraft and be imprisoned.

Just a week later, their mother, Martha Allen Carrier, was hanged on August 19, 1692. The children would later be released.

{at age 18}(Richard) was tortured before his testimony by hanging him by his heels "until the blood was ready to come out of his nose" or until he said what his interrogators wanted to hear.

He died in Colchester, Connecticut in November, 1749 and was interred at the Old Burying Ground.
