A woman allegedly from Spruce Island, near Wapping in Greater London, who is approached by the Anne Hook to testify during trial that she gave Anne Levingston seeds and powder with which to murder Lady Anne Powel; she is allegedly able to turn into a cat and is hung for witchcraft. One alternate account alleges that she conspired with an unnamed Gentlewoman to give a potion or posset to Lady Powel; another alleges that she can turn into a black cat and has a squirrel familiar. She is also found guilty of "washing" Christopher Wilson "by witchcrafte." She denied any part in Lady Powel's death; a search of her home for images of clay, hair and nails found nothing. When examined by a jury of women, she was found to have "a Teat of flesh in her secret parts more then other women usually had." She is found innocent in the death of Lady Powel but guilty of bewitching Wilson, for which she is sentenced to be hanged; she pleaded to be pregnant, but the jury found that she was not. Peterson is also known to have taken in Margaret Austin into her home out of charity, until Austin was ejected for stealing goods from her home. Joan Peterson "was condemned for practising witch-craft, and sentenced to be hanged at Tyburn, on Munday the 11th. of April, 1652."(Title Page, 4-6, 7, 8-9)

A woman from Wapping in the county of Greater London, known to be the Lady of an estate and both the aunt and godmother of Mrs. Anne Levingston, who is allegedly bewitched to death by Joan Peterson and Anne Levingston. Levingston was the beneficiary of Lady Powel's estate until the murder charges saw it stripped from her. It is conclusively determined by several examining physicians and surgeons that Lady Powel died of several compounding chronic illnesses, their professional opinion being that she not only died of natural causes but that it is extraordinary that she lived as long as she did. Lady Powel is said to have been about 80 years of age at the time of her death.(4, 6-7)

A man from Wapping in the county of Greater London, known to be a physician, who gives evidence that Lady Powell's sickness and death was due to "Dropsie, the Scurvey, and the yellow Jaundies" and therefore altogether natural. Together with fellow examining physicians Dr. Colladen, Dr. Goddard and Dr. Chabrey, and surgeons Mr. Stamford and Mr. Page, he "wondered how she was able to live so long, having most of those diseases growing on her for many years before." His testimony helps prove Anne Levingstone innocent in her aunt's death, and by extension, that Joan Peterson cannot have used witchcraft to assist in Lady Powell's death.(6-7, 10-11)

A woman from Wapping in the county of Greater London, who is accused by Abraham Vandenbemde of hiring Joan Peterson to bewitch her long sick aunt and godmother, Lady Powel. Levingston was thought to have "received from her (the said Peterson) certain powders, and bags of seeds, to help her in her law suits and to provoke unlawfull love." Lady Powel, who had no children of her own, left her estate to Mrs. Levingston. After the accusations of using witchery to gain Lady Powel's estate, Levingston was publicly disgraced and lost the inheritance. After several physicians and surgeons testified that Lady Powel had been afflicted with numerous serious illnesses for many years and that she had therefore died of natural causes, Levingston was vindicated and proclaimed innocent.(3-4, 6-7)
