Joan Throckmorton, the eldest daughter, is afflicted with fits soon after Grace, and proves to be "worse handled indeede than any of the other Sisters were, for shee hauing more strength than they, and striuing more with the Spirite than the rest." She is allegedly made to sneeze, screech, groan, heave her belly, and bounce violently until onlookers feared injury to herself and damage to the furniture. She joins her sisters in crying out against Mother Alice Samuel.(6)
