Elizabeth Savory

(Abt 1606 - 24 May 1689)

Samuel Eddy's wife came from Kent and from Plymouth court records she did not always observe the religious tenets of her neighbors. Once she presumed to hang out clothes washed just before the going down of the sun on a certain Lord's day, for which she was brought before the governor and council and fined ten shillings. For reasons not found it was remitted. She was again brought before the governor and council "upon a most grievous offense," in walking from Plymouth to Boston upon a Lord's day, but her answer was that she had taken this walk for charity for a sick friend, Mistress Saffin , whom she had known in the old country. The court excused this as an act of mercy, but admonished her to do so no more (Weston 342).
