Mrs. Ann Putnam, born Ann Putnam Jr., was one of the prominent figures in the Salem witch trials of 1692. She was a young girl who, along with other children, accused several local women of witchcraft, leading to numerous arrests and executions. Ann's actions were driven by personal grievances, as she had lost several family members, which she attributed to witchcraft. Her involvement remains a significant aspect of the historical narrative surrounding the trials.
