He was the second oldest of 8 children and had three sisters and two brothers. He moved to Andover with his family and survived a smallpox outbreak in 1690 of which his family was accused of causing. The Salem witch trialsWhen Carrier was 18 years old in 1692, he was arrested together with his family on accusation of witchcraft on May 28, 1692. During his mother's trial, Carrier and his 7-year-old sister Sarah testified against their mother on the accusation of witchcraft. He, however, was tortured before his testimony by hanging him by his heels "until the blood was ready to come out of his nose" or until he said what his interrogators wanted to hear. His mother was convicted and executed on August 19, 1692, and Richard Carrier and his family were set free again.[2] In 1711, Carrier and his family received a small amount of recompense from the Massachusetts government for her conviction: 7 pounds and 6 shillings.[3] Later lifeCarrier went on to marry Elizabeth Sessions on July 18, 1694, in Andover and had six children with her:[4]
After Elizabeth's death, Carrier went on to marry Thankful Brown on July 29, 1707, in Colchester and had four children with her:[5]
Carrier led the rest of his life in Colchester until he died on November 17, 1749. He was buried in Colchester Burying Ground.[6] See also
