to find out what happened to the girls in the woods
Putnam genuinely believes that her children have been murdered, and she wants to find out who the murderer is. She believes that only her dead children can identify the culprit, so Mrs. Putnam contacts Tituba and asks her to contact her dead children using the Barbados mystical faith.
She has lost 7 children in child birth and wants to know who is killing her babies
She is the Daughter of Thomas and Mrs. Ann Putnam. She is ill and her mother thinks it is due to evil falling on the town of Salem. She is one of the girls caught dancing in the woods by Reverend Parris. Mrs. Putnam sent her to Tituba to conjure spirits in hopes that Ruth would be able to communicate with her seven dead siblings.
Mrs. Putnam contacted Tituba in Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible" to seek help in uncovering the supposed witchcraft that she believed was responsible for the death of her children. Desperate and grieving, she hoped Tituba, with her knowledge of the supernatural, could communicate with the spirits and reveal the truth behind her children's tragic fate. This act reflects the deep-seated fears and paranoia in the Salem community regarding witchcraft during that time.
It wasn't Abigail that accused them of witchcraft. It was Tituba. She accused Goody Goody and Goody Osburn of witchcraft because she's getting pressured of what they were asking her so she told them what they wanted to hear and Mrs. Putnam said that she was sure that someone was killing her babies so Tituba mentioned Goody Good and Goody Osburn because they became a midwife to Mrs. Putnam three times already.

The first to accuse Tituba was Betty Parris. The other three girls who were afflicted in the beginning, Abigail Williams, Ann Putnam and Elizabeth Hubbard, also accused Tituba.
Mary Warren of course... but what I don't get is why precisely she couldn't faint...
Putnam
Ann Putnam is one and Tituba is another but the last i dont know sadly enough EDIT: Ann Putnam was not one of the accused. She was one of the first four accusers. The first three "witches" were Sarah Goode, Sarah Osbourne and Tituba.
Mrs. Putnam had some bad luck in the past that she wanted to blame on witches. When her own daughter was "afflicted," she was able to.
Because Osburn was the midwife when three of Putnam's children died.
Mrs. Putnam lost 7 children. She believed that witch craft was the cause of their death
She sends Ruth because Ruth can speak to the dead and she was hoping Ruth could figure out who murdered her seven children.
