She sends Ruth because Ruth can speak to the dead and she was hoping Ruth could figure out who murdered her seven children.
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. She is one of the girls caught dancing in the woods by Reverend Parris. Mrs. Putnam sent her to Tituba to conjure spirits in hopes that Ruth would be able to communicate with her seven dead siblings.
The first to accuse Tituba was Betty Parris. The other three girls who were afflicted in the beginning, Abigail Williams, Ann Putnam and Elizabeth Hubbard, also accused Tituba.
Mrs. Putnam lost 7 children. She believed that witch craft was the cause of their death

She dislikes Rebecca Nurse because she had 11 children and not one died, while Ann Putnam had eight children and all but one died.

Never! Ruth Putnam only exists in the Crucible, which is not based entirely in fact. Mostly likely Miller renamed Ann Putnam jr Ruth Putnam so she would not be confused with her mother, also named Ann.
Thomas and Ann Putnam's seven children died at birth and their only child Ruth was sick.

Ann Putnam is one and Tituba is another but the last i dont know sadly enough EDIT: Ann Putnam was not one of the accused. She was one of the first four accusers. The first three "witches" were Sarah Goode, Sarah Osbourne and Tituba.
Ann asked her daughter, Ruth, to conjure the spirits of Mrs. Putnam's seven dead children.
Thomas and Ann Putnam's seven children died at birth and their only child Ruth was sick.
All of her children have died under the midwifery of Rebecca Nurse, with the exception of Ruth, and now even Ruth is ill.
Ann Putnam Jr. was born on October 18, 1679.

Ann Putnam (of the Salem Witch Trial) never married or had children.
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.
