Winifred and her daughter, also named Winifred, were accused of witchcraft in November 1692, June 1693, and 31 August 1697. They were tried in Hartford, Connecticut. Acquitted.
Winifred King was born in an unknown place about 1639, and died equally unknown after 1703. She married in Boston 15 Jan 1657, Joseph Benham, and they had 14 children. So far nothing has been found about her parents. Her mother may have been the widow Mary Hale, age seventy-four, who was tried as a witch in Boston in 1680, and acquitted, and who called Winifred Benham's daughter, Joanna her "grandaughter". Nothing [else] has been found to prove this relationship.
