Hung it is.
We went to visit her grave in Salem a few years ago. She's like my wife's great great great great great grandmother or something
Fortunately my wife hasn't seemed to inherit any of her powers, but sometimes I do wonder

Bill and Hillary Clinton are driving near her home town. They stop to get some gas, whereupon Hillary recognizes the station attendant as a high-school boyfriend. After they drive off, Bill tells her, smugly, “See, if you’d married him, you’d be working at a gas station.” Hillary smartly replies, “If I’d married him, he’d be President.”

Wow, she's actually "Goody Martin" - kind of impressive.
Good News! She's been exonerated!
Massachusetts Clears 5 From Salem Witch Trials
November 2, 2001
BOSTON, Nov. 1— More than three centuries after they were accused, tried and hanged as unrepentant witches on Gallows Hill in Salem, Mass., five women have been officially exonerated by the state.
The act, approved by the Legislature, was signed on Halloween by the acting governor, cheering the descendants of Bridget Bishop, Susannah Martin, Alice Parker, Wilmot Redd and Margaret Scott. The five were among 20 men and women put to death during the witchcraft hysteria of 1692.
''We've had an awful lot of descendants that have been out there working for it,'' said Shari Kelley Worrell of Barrington, Ill., an eighth great-granddaughter of Susannah Martin. The Puritan leader Cotton Mather called her one of the most ''impudent, scurrilous, wicked creatures in the world.''
