INDEX

[3514]

James Pulver offers on the Web: "Ann Foster was probably the second wife of Andrew Foster. She was accused of being a witch. She was tried and on 17 Sep 1692 received the 'Sentance of Death' along with eight other individuals. Of these, eight were executed, Ann being the only one spared. She was put in jail in Andover, Essex Co., MA. Unfortunately prison conditions were not to her liking. She was over 70 years of age at the time, and death was her inevitable outcome, Her son Abraham Foster later alleged, she suffered imprisonment twenty-one weeks and upon her Tryall was condemned for supposed witchcraft and died in prison."

Following is the doleful disposition of Ann;her daughter Mary (Foster) Lacey and her grand-daughter Mary Lacey, as quoted from Cotton Mather's, "Wonders":

"VIII.. One Foster, who confessed her own Share in the Witchcraft for which the Prisoner stood indicted, affirmd, That she had seen the Prisoner at some of their Witch-Neetings, and that it was,this Carrier, (Martha Carrier found guilty of witchcraft and executed) who perswaded her to be a Witch. She confessed,, That the Devil carry'd them on a Pole, to a Witch-Meeting; but the Pole broke, and she hanging about Carriers Neck, they both fell down, and she then Received an Hurt by the Fall, whereof she was not at this very time Recovered.

IX. One Lacy (Mary [Foster] Lacy - Ann's daughter), who also Confessed her share in this Witchcraft, now Testify'd , That she and the Prisoner were once Bodily present at a Witch-meeting in Salem-Village; and that she knew the Prisoner to be a Witch, and to have been at a Diabolical Sacrament, and that the Prisoner was the undoing of her and her Children., by Enticing them into the Snare of the Devil.

X. Another Lacy., (Ann's grand-daughter, aged 14) who also Confessed her share in the Witchcraft, now Testify'd, that. the Prisoner was at the Witch-Meeting, in Salem Village, where they had Bread and Wine Administred unto them.

--- Memorandum. This Rampant Hag, Martha Carrier, was the Person, of whom the Confessions of the Witches, and of her own Children among the rest, agreed That the Devil had promised her she should be Queen of Hell.

Thus all three of the Fosters, mother, daughter and grand-daughter were pronounced guilty, Ann was examined four times, which ultimately led to her confession, Following is the conclusion of her last examination":

21. July.- -92 Ann Foster, Examined Owned her former confession being read to her and further confessed that the discourse amongst the witches at the meeting at Salem village was that they would afflict there to set up the Devil's Kingdom, This confession is true as witness my hand. The mark of Ann Foster

There were 300 "witches" at this meeting described by Cotton Mather. Ann died in prison, while her child and grandchild were later freed. Ann would have been hanged, but probably her age and the unsavory prison conditions caused her untimely death. Such tortures as to tie her neck to her heels and deprive her of sleep were not unknown. She may have been exposed to another form of torture --- "Tie the left thumb to right toe and the right thumb to the left toe, then drop in the river." If they floated they were witches. If they sank, well, they might be all right - but someone had to fish them out, If it wasn't done quickly and the person died, they were undoubtedly guilty anyway.

Ann's son Abraham Foster had to pay 2 pounds 10 shilling to the jailer to obtain her body. Her accused daughter Mary (Foster) Lacey died from natural causes in 1707, probably in Andover, Essex Co,, MA. Poor Ann, not only she was found guilty of witchcraft, but another daughter, Hannah (Foster) Stone, had been murdered by her son-in-law Hugh Stone only a few years before, as had her aged husband. To compound the matter her daughter Mary and her granddaughter Mary both had been convicted at this same time of being witches, and were undoubtedly jailed, but fortunately were later sent free. Possibly there was some salving of the witchcraft trial victims. On 17 Oct 1711 a "Reversal of Attainder" document was "Made and passed by the Great and General Court or- Assembly of Her Majesty's Province of the Massachusetts Bay in New England," Queen Mary was ruling the British Empire at the time. "Damages sustained by the Sundry persons prosecuted for witchcraft in the years 1692" totalled "Five hundred seventy eight pounds and Twelve shillings." Of this amount six pounds and ten shillings were
awarded the heirs of Anne Foster (the least amount awarded) and eight pounds and ten shillings to the heirs of Mary Lacey. -From: "History and Genealogy of the Thomas Stone Family" by Earl H. Antes 1991

[19914] http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/JERUSALEM.htm offers: "Marie of Jerusalem (-before 1205). William of Tyre (Continuator) names her as the oldest daughter of Isabelle and her third husband. In a later passage, he specifies that 'des filles dou conte Henri estoit morte Marie qui estoit l'ains née', her death as well as that of her betrothed occurring before they reached the age of marriage. The text is unclear about the precise date of her death, but implies that it was before the death of her stepfather. Although she bore the same first name as her older half-sister, the two passages are unequivocal, especially the latter which is included in the chapter which follows the one which records the marriage of the older Marie with Jean de Brienne. Betrothed (1194) to Guy de Lusignan , son of Amaury de Lusignan Lord of Cyprus [later King of Cyprus and King of Jerusalem] & his first wife Echive of Ibelin (-[30 Mar 1206/5 Dec 1207). William of Tyre (Continuator) specifies that Guy and his brother Jean died before reaching the age of marriage. The text is unclear about the precise dates of their death, but clearly their brother Hugues was the only surviving son when their father died."

In 2010 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_II,_Duke_of_Pomerania offers: "Eric II or Erich II, of the House of Pomerania (Griffins), (b. between 1418 and 1425, d. 1474), was Duke of Pomerania-Wolgast from 1457 to 1474. He was the son of Wartislaw IX of Pomerania-Wolgast and Sophia of Saxe-Lauenburg (d. 1462, daughter of Eric IV of Saxe-Lauenburg), and married to Sophia of Pomerania-Stolp. With his wife, he had nine children, including his successor Bogislaw X.

"In 1451, Wartislaw IX arranged his son's marriage to Sophia, daughter of Bogislaw IX of Pomerania-Stolp and heiress of Eric I of Pomerania-Stolp, who had also been king of the Kalmar Union. The marriage of these distant relatives granted Eric II access to Eric I's lands in Farther Pomerania. Also, Eric I arranged the Lauenburg-Bütow Land at the Pomerelian border to be granted by the Polish king to Eric II in January 3, 1455, as a reward for aiding Poland in her struggles with the Teutonic Knights.

"In 1456, Eric took over Wassow Land in Farther Pomerania, despite Wassow being not included in his share of Pomerania. This led to conflicts with Otto III, Duke of Pomerania-Stettin and even Eric I. Even though the Pomeranian cities were able to mediate negotiations between the dukes which led to a compromise in January 16, 1457, at Rügenwalde, Eric lost the support of the other Pomeranian dukes with this action.

"In August of 1457, Eric was hunting in the forests near Horst, belonging not to his lands, but to the Hanseatic city of Greifswald. In further disrespect of the city's rights he ordered local peasants to aid him. Greifswald's mayor Heinrich Rubenow led the burghers of Greifswald and Stralsund in an attempt to arrest Eric. Although the burghers captured his guards, Eric managed to escape. Yet, by now he was not only opposed by his co-ruling Pomeranian dukes, but also by the Pomeranian cities.

After the death of his father, Wartislaw IX, later in 1457, Eric received Pomerania-Wolgast together with his younger brother, Wartislaw X. They split the duchy with Wartislaw X receiving the principality of Rügen (with Rügen, Barth, Tribsees and Grimmen) while Eric received the eastern parts. Upon Eric I's death, in 1459 Eric II gained Pomerania-Stolp and Pomerania-Rügenwalde due to the claims of his wife. Despite being a partitioned duchy in reality, Pomerania was granted to the dukes as one fief to be co-ruled (zur gesamten Hand, which meant that several issues had to be acted upon in common). Because Eric did not respect Wartislaw X's rights as a co-ruler, Wartislaw sought for an alliance with the Margraviate of Brandenburg on September 6, 1459, in Angermünde. He pawned the area north of the Brandenburgian Uckermark to Hohenzollern margrave Frederick II and in return became assured of military protection against his brother.

"Eric's wife, feeling not to be admitted to exercise power as she felt she deserved being the heir of Eric I, retreated to Rügenwalde castle to live there with Hans of Wassow.

"In 1464, Eric's cousin Otto III of Pomerania-Stettin died of the Black Death, leaving both Eric and Wartislaw as well as Brandenburg's Frederick II with claims for inheritance. In 1466 Eric II and Wartislaw X were granted liens by the elector of Brandenburg at Soldin. However the contract was not fulfilled and it came to military intervention. Aware that he would not withstand Brandenburg without allies, Eric sought to settle the conflict by allying with Poland and in 1470 invaded the Brandenburg Neumark. The Brandenburgers had their longtime claims to Pomerania re-verified by emperor Frederick III. The emperor ordered Erich II and Wartislaw X to recognize the suzerainty of Brandenburg. Mecklenburgs Duke Henry took a mediator role and the Mecklenburgian army moved eastward following the Tollense River, a Brandenburgian army advanced to the North from the Uckermark following the Randow River. The campaigns were ended by the Peace of Prenzlau of May 31, 1472 and the Pomeranian dukes gave the pledge of allegiance to the elector. Brandenburg was again granted the right of inheritance of Pomerania upon the extinction of the House of Pomerania.

"Eric died in 1474 of a plague-like disease. He was buried in Eldena Abbey near Greifswald and was succeeded by his son Bogislaw X."
