In what condition is Ruth putnam?

She is the Daughter of Thomas and Mrs. Ann Putnam. She is ill and her mother thinks it is due to evil falling on the town of Salem.

Mrs. Putnam sent her to Tituba to conjure spirits in hopes that Ruth would be able to communicate with her seven dead siblings.

What role did abigail play in the Salem witch trials?

I like this question, if only because it proves my point that the Crucible has corrupted the public knowledge of the Salem trials. Ruth Putnam is a creation of Arthur Miller for his play. I figure that Ruth is actually Ann Putnam the younger and Miller renamed her to lessen the confusion of having two Ann Putnams, mother and daughter, in the dialogue.
