| Notes |
- The Faulkners were a family of high position in the community of Andover. They were living on a farm in the north part of Andover. On 11 Aug 1692 she was arrested for afflicting Sarah Phelps of the Andover afflicted circle. She was tried and convicted as a witch on 17 Sep. of the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. She was not executed as she was two months pregnant with her 7th child whom she named Ammi Ruhammah meaning "mercy for my people," when he was born in March 1693. Abigail's two daughters, Dorothy age 12 and Abigail Jr. age 9, were also accused of witchcraft, but were bailed out on 6 Oct 1692, when John Osgood and Nathaniel Dane posted a bond of L500. They were not tried in Jan., and remained free because of another L100 bond plsted on 13 Jan, by their father, and their uncle Joseph Marble. The girls were cleared by proclimation in May. In 1703, Abigail petitioned for a pardon, and on 20 Jul 1703, the House of Representatives replied favorably to her petition and those of others from Andover.
