Mercy Lewis and Abigail Williams were both key figures in the Salem witch trials of 1692. Abigail Williams, a niece of Reverend Samuel Parris, was one of the initial accusers, leading to widespread hysteria and numerous executions. Mercy Lewis, a servant in the Parris household, also participated in the accusations and was involved in the trials. After the trials, both women faded from historical records, with Mercy reportedly marrying and Abigail disappearing from the historical narrative after the trials concluded.
