Tradition holds that she was married to another slave, John Indian, and the couple was purchased by Reverend Parris during time he spent in Barbados. Tradition, however, does not a history make. Tituba and John Indian did reside with the Parrises; Samuel Parris had a plantation in Barbados, and he owned two slaves after he returned to Boston, and she could have come from Barbados.

It was not her "voodoo spells and stories" which, in fact, caused the girls' initial hysterics but their practice of forbidden fortune telling.

Eventually, the colony admitted the trials were a mistake and compensated the families of those convicted. Giles Corey c. August — September 19, was an American farmer who was accused of witchcraft along with his wife Martha Corey during the Salem witch trials.
After being arrested, Corey refused to enter a plea of guilty or not guilty. Abigail Williams is a major character in the play The Crucible by Arthur Miller, but she is portrayed as 17 years old , roughly five years older than her true age.
She revealed that they had been helped by two other women and a man from Boston whom Tituba did not recognize. She told them that Sarah Good and Sarah Osborne had demons in the form of animal companions who helped them commit their crimes. And she ended by confessing that they had bullied her into becoming a witch and hurting the girls. While Tituba spoke, her accusers stopped screaming.
The magistrates believed this was evidence that Tituba was telling the truth. When she finished, the girls started screaming, and Tituba told the magistrates that she could see the spirit of Sarah Good hurting them. Then, Tituba herself was struck blind and mute.

She probably testified at the trials of a number of people who were convicted and executed for witchcraft, but it is difficult to know for sure, because the official trial records were lost.
Twenty people were convicted of witchcraft and executed. Three died in prison before they could be tried.
