Grave memorial of Giles and Martha Corey
victims of the Salem Witch Trials
During the witch hysteria of 1692, three of the town's first residents -- Giles and v Corey, and John Proctor -- were found guilty and condemned to die for witchcraft. John Proctor's wife, Elizabeth, was also found guilty and sentenced to hang; but, received a reprieve because she was pregnant.
At that time, Peabody was still part of Salem Town. Giles Corey owned a large farm in the area of what is now Pine Street across from the old Post Office at the railroad crossing. Giles was pressed to death with stones after refusing to make a plea in his accusation of witchcraft. His wife Martha was also executed by hanging for being a witch. Their graves sit near their original homestead by Crystal Lake in west Peabody.
