Giles Corey
Giles Corey is crushed by rocks due to a judicial order during the Salem Witch Trials.
American educator and inventor George Washington Carver [January 1864-January 5, 1945] was the son of Giles and Mary, who had been the slaves of William P. McGinnis. On October 9, 1855, his parens were sold, for $700, to Moses Carver [1812-1910]. Giles and Mary ended up having 11 daughters and sons, all of whom died young, except for the future scientist.
