In the frenzy that followed, Faulkner's sister Elizabeth Johnson, her sister-in-law Deliverance Dane, two of her daughters, two of her nieces, and a nephew, would all be accused of witchcraft and arrested.
Faulkner was convicted and sentenced to death, but her execution was delayed due to pregnancy.
Before she gave birth, Faulkner was pardoned by the governor and released from prison.
