I am descended from John Ayer, through Mary Emmerjane Ayer. Could you confirm that Johns daughter, Mary Ayer, married Nathan Parker, and later in 1692, was hung for witch craft Thank you for your time

Hi Bill and Chris,
I am interested in this as well, since there is a rumor of this in my
husband's line. I do not have a name though.
Barbara (Barbary) Ellen Pruner, b. 1842, was married 1869, to William Henry
Harrison Ayers (Ayre/s) b. 1842 in OH (Galia Co.?) . They evenually ended up
in Schuyler Co. MO.
A rumor is that Barbara or another Ayer descendant could levitate tables and
that there was a witch burned or hung, presumably in Salem Mass., in that
family.
Tricia M.
