Bishop, Edward Jr.
Edward Bishop Jr. was the step-son of Bridget Bishop (the first person hung in the Salem Witchcraft Trials) and was also accused of witchcraft as was his wife, Sarah. Edward and Sarah had lived in Topsfield, but moved to Salem in 1690. They were accused and sent to jail in Boston. This couple broke prison in the late summer of 1692 and moved to Rehoboth (then R.I.) According to Norton "Some time between Sept. 12 and Friday Sept. 16, several more accused witches escaped from custody in Boston. Edward (Jr.) and Sarah Bishop and John Alden broke out of jail, and Hezekiah Usher fled from house arrest to Rhode Island."
