When was Ruth putnam from salem witch trials born?

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.


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.

In The Crucible who is mercy Lewis?

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.
