Sarah Osborne
Written By Meghan Carroll
Born in Watertown, Massachusetts in about 1643, Sarah Warren married Robert Prince, a Salem Villager who purchased a 150-acre farm next to Captain John Putnam's. Putnam was Prince's neighbor and also his brother-in-law and the executor (along with Thomas Putnam) of his will. When Prince died prematurely in 1674, he left his land entrusted to his wife Sarah with the provision that upon their coming of age, it be given to his and Sarah's two sons -- James, who was six-years-old at the time, and Joseph, who was two. However, soon after her husband's death, Sarah hired an indentured Irish immigrant by the name of Alexander Osborne as a farm hand and paid off his indenture. Rumors spread about Sarah and Alexander's living together and eventually the two were married. Sarah, then attempted to overtake her children's inheritance and seize control of the estate for herself and her new husband, thus breaking her deceased husband's will. Legal battles ensued between Osborne and her children, who were the rightful heirs of Prince's land and were defended by the Putnams. Such conflict continued until February of 1692 when Sarah Osborne became one of the first three persons accused of witchcraft in Salem.
Sarah was accused by Thomas and Edward Putnam, Joseph Hutchinson, and Thomas Preston for afflicting Ann Putnam, Jr., Betty Parris, Abigail Williams, and Elizabeth Hubbard. Unlike the other two women accused with her, Tituba and Sarah Good, Osborne never confessed to witchcraft nor attempted to accuse anyone else. In her own defense, she was the first defendant to assert in her defense the theological claim that the devil could take the shape of another person without their compliance -- a view that eventually prevailed and brought the Salem trials to a halt. Nonetheless, Osborne never came to trial because she died, shackled in prison on May 10, 1692 at the age of 49.
Why was Sarah Osborne accused of witchcraft? To answer this question, we must look closely at the society in which she lived and at her reputation in it. Historians Paul Boyer and Stephen Nissenbaum argue that many of the accused witches were perceived as upsetting established "patterns of land tenure and inheritance." Sarah Osborne fits this profile. Not only was Salem Village aware of her fornication with Alexander (an obvious Puritan sin), but by endeavoring to gain full ownership of her late husband's estate, she disregarded her society's set practices of inheritance and land tenure, and challenged the tradition of strong, extended family alliances. By aspiring to deny her two sons of their wealth and social position, she threatened the growth and stability of Putnam family alliances in Salem Village.
Is a woman who betrays her society's social and family conventions worthy of an accusation of witchcraft? Not in today's society, but in seventeenth century New England these offenses were socially and economically serious, and a threat to the divinely sanctioned social order. Specifically, the Putnam family's economic interests and inheritance grew less secure by Sarah's attempt at social and economic independence. Consequently, but not surprisingly, it was members of the Putnam family who accused Osborne.
While such theories may offer explanations as to why Sarah Osborne, as opposed to her husband Alexander, was accused of witchcraft, we might also ask why she was actually convicted. If only 19 of the approximately 160 people accused were actually executed, what prevented Sarah Osborne from surviving? Unlike Tituba and Sarah Good who both confessed to witchcraft and falsely accused Osborne, Osborne did not confess nor did she accuse anyone else, and hence unknowingly at this stage, she closed an opportunity that might have saved her. Even though it later became apparent that the way to survive an accusation was to confess and to point fingers at others, Sarah Osborne repeatedly affirmed her innocence. When asked by local officials why she practiced with the devil, Osborne responded with bewilderment that she "was more like to be bewitched than that she was a witch." Ultimately, it was her refusal to compromise her integrity that cost Sarah Osborne her life.

Family Life
Sarah Osborne (Warren) was born in Watertown, Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1643.
She would be married two times, with her first husband being a wealthy man named Robert Prince. Prince was the brother-in-law and neighbor of Captain John Putnam, a member of the notable Putnam family that would eventually include the Revolutionary War General, Israel Putnam.
Sarah and her husband moved to Salem in 1662 and had two sons and a daughter:
In 1674, Robert Prince died, and to help with the kids, Sarah hired an Irish indentured servant, Alexander Osborne.
In a classic love story, Alexander and Sarah fell in love, but he needed to pay off his indenture before he could remove that status from him. He did, and the two married. However, the two were guilty of fornication, which was looked on with shame in Salem.
Controversy arose when Sarah Osborne took over the estate of her deceased husband. This was against social norms and against her late husband's will.
She and her new husband, Alexander, took over the estate, which would cause a problem with her kids and Thomas Putnam, who was the executor of Prince's will.

Reviews for "Exploring the Benefits of Air Frying with the Magic Bullet Air Fryer"
1. Jane - 2 stars - I was really excited to try the Magic Bullet Air Fryer after hearing so many positive reviews, but sadly it did not meet my expectations. The food it cooked was often unevenly cooked and lacked the crispy texture that an air fryer should produce. Additionally, the machine emitted a strange smell while in use, which was off-putting. I also found the controls to be confusing and not intuitive to use. Overall, I was disappointed with the performance and functionality of the Magic Bullet Air Fryer.
2. Mike - 1 star - I regret purchasing the Magic Bullet Air Fryer. It simply did not live up to the hype. The cooking times suggested in the manual were way off, and I constantly had to adjust them to get my food cooked properly. The air fryer also seemed to take longer to preheat compared to other models I've used in the past. The build quality was also subpar, with the handle feeling flimsy and the overall construction feeling cheap. I would not recommend the Magic Bullet Air Fryer to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient air fryer.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - The Magic Bullet Air Fryer was a disappointment for me. While it did cook food relatively quickly, the end result was often dry and lacking in flavor. It seemed to struggle with achieving that crispy texture that air-fried food is known for. The design of the air fryer was also not user-friendly, with awkwardly placed buttons and a small cooking capacity. I found myself having to cook in multiple batches to feed my family, which was inconvenient. Overall, I was not impressed with the Magic Bullet Air Fryer and would not buy it again.
4. David - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the Magic Bullet Air Fryer, but unfortunately, it fell short. The main issue I had was with the nonstick coating on the cooking basket. It was not durable and started to peel off after just a few uses. This made me concerned about the potential health risks of using a flaking nonstick coating on my food. The air fryer also made a loud noise during operation, which was disruptive and annoying. Overall, I would not recommend the Magic Bullet Air Fryer due to its poor quality and potential health hazards.
