Mercy Lewis was a real person in the Salem witch trials. Later, Arthur Miller used her as a character in the play "the crucible". Not much is widely known about Mercy Lewis as a real person. In the book however Mercy Lewis is the Putnam's servant. She is described as being a "fat, sly, merciless girl of eighteen". The fact that she is merciless is ironic given her name. At the beginning of the play, Mercy suggests beating Betty, "because I gave Ruth a good one and it waked her for a minute". At the end of the play, shamed, Mercy leaves Salem with Abigail.
No one really identifies any witches in The Crucible. They do not exist. Many characters claim to see/know witches. Some of those characters include Abigail Williams, Tituba, Mercy Lewis, Ann Putnam, and Betty Parris.
There's actually six people who were accused, and those were Mercy Lewis, Ruth Putnam, Mary Warren, Abigail Williams, the servant, and the ministers daughter, Betty Parris. Youre welcome :)

For that quote I used " The Crucible by Arthur Miller"

In Puritan Salem, young women such as Abigail, Mary, and Mercy are largely powerless until they get married. As a young, unmarried servant girl, Mary is expected to obey the will of her employer, Proctor, who can confine her to his home and even whip her for disobeying his orders.
Mercy Lewis was a servant for the Putnam household.
Tituba, Abigail Williams, Mary Warren, Betty Paris, Susanna Walcott, Mercy Lewis, Ruth Putnam
Abigail has total power over John Proctor because of the affair and over Mercy Lewis, Mary Warren, and Betty,her cousin.
