Notes
The presbytery entries refer to an earlier incident in 1611 when Wright was reprimanded and told to stop using cures. Age calculated from career, 25 + 17 = 42 although she was probably older as her son was married. The bail she was given was for £1000 so she appears to have been middling economic status.
