Current day Witch Memorial in Salem, MA

The Salem Witch Memorial is dedicated to those who lost their lives in the witch hysteria. Margaret Stevenson Scott is among those with a dedicated spot.  Her hometown of Rowley, MA also has a small park  with a bronze plaque mounted on a rock dedicated to her.  Those executed as witches were not allowed to be buried in consecrated ground.  Many were thrown into a break in the rocks and left their unless retrieved by family members.  Margaret's family came after dark to get her body and take it back to Rowley.  She is buried in an unknown spot somewhere on the family property.
