Abigail Hobbs was a girl of about 14[1] to 16 years old when she was arrested for witchcraft on April 18, 1692 along with Giles Corey, Mary Warren, and Bridget Bishop. Prior to living in Salem Village (now Danvers, Massachusetts), she and her family had lived in Casco, Maine, the frontier of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, during a time when there were many attacks by the Wabanaki Native Americans.[2] [why?] Her father William and stepmother, Deliverance, were also both charged with witchcraft.
