Mary Warren was the oldest of the accusers during the 1692 Salem witch trials. She was later arrested and did not confess. She was a servant for thr Proctors.

In fiction

Warren is a character in the play The Crucible by Arthur Miller. She is a maid for John Proctor who becomes involved in the Salem witch hunt as one of the accusers led by Abigail Williams.

Proctor manages to convince her to reveal that she and the other accusers have been fabricating their stories and ‘supernatural experiences’ that have resulted in the arrest of many innocents.

However, Warren’s confession comes to nothing because she renounces it, and accuses Proctor of forcing her to make it after Abigail accuses her of witchcraft.
