Despite strong support from family and friends, she was found guilty and hanged three weeks later on the 19th of July 1692,along with the other four accused. She was buried in a crevice on Gallows Hill in Salem, Massachusetts. A further fourteen alleged witches and warlocks were subsequently hung or pressed to death in Salem during the months of August and September 1692; by November more than 150 people had been accused. All those accused were freed. Many years later, in 1710, legal proceedings were instituted to verify Elizabeth's innocence. The conviction was reversed.

Gravesite Details
Note: Some have assumed his family name to have been 'Howe' but all original records show his family name to have been 'How'. Family oral tradition has it that two members of the original family argued and one dropped the "E" to separate his line.
