A woman from Edmonton in the county of Middlesex, now part of the London Borough of Enfield, known to be married to Mr. Radcliffe, who was allegedly bewitched to death by their neighbour Elizabeth Sawyer. According to Mr. Radcliffe, Sawyer's sow ate some soap belonging to Agnes, and Agnes struck the animal; Sawyer was angered by this and threatened that Agnes would feel the blow as if it had struck her. That night, Agnes is said to have become sick and tormented, foaming at the mouth. She died of it four days later. He alleged that Agnes told him, on her deathbed, "that Elizabeth Sawyer her neighbour, whose Sowe with a washing-Beetle she had stricken, and so for that cause her malice being great, was the occasion of her death." Sawyer denied any involvement in Agnes' demise.(B2)

A woman from Edmonton in the County of Middlesex, now part of the London Borough of Enfield, thought to be a spinster, though some sources say she was married with children. She was missing an eye, ghostly-pale, and bent over at the waist. She was apprehended on charges of witchcraft after an old custom allegedly proved her a witch: thatching was taken from her home, and she was observed to frequent the home of whomever burnt some of it. She was arraigned and indicted at the Justice Hall in the Old Bailey in London on April 14, 1621. She stood accused of causing the deaths of her neighbor's infants and cattle and bewitching Agnes Radcliffe to death for striking Sawyer's sow (after it ate her soap. A jury of three women, led by Margaret Weaver, searched Sawyer though she "behaued her selfe most sluttishly and loathsomely towards them" and found her to have a teat the size of a little finger and half a finger in length which branched into a red upper part and a blue lower; the upper part appeared to have been sucked. This teat was said to be located "a little aboue the Fundiment." Sawyer made a full confession, which was transcribed and she confirmed verbally to be true on the day of her execution. In this confession, she claimed that the Devil first came to her eight years before when she was cursing and blaspheming, that he would come to her three times a week, and that he would do harm on her behalf, including causing the deaths of two nursing children. She denied, however, any involvement in Agnes Radcliffe's death. The Devil came to her in the shape of a dog, sometimes white, sometimes black. She agreed to give him her soul, permitted him to suck her blood from a teat to nourish him, and called him by the name of Tom. Sawyer claimed the Devil did not visit her once in prison. She was executed on April 19, 1621.(A4-B1)
