John Proctor, a key figure in the Salem witch trials, had three children. Their names were Thomas, Edward, and seven-month-old Susannah at the time of his execution in 1692. Proctor’s family dynamics played a significant role in his character and actions throughout the trials, as he struggled to balance his commitment to his children and the societal pressures of the time. His stand against the witch trials was not only a personal battle but also a fight to secure a better future for his children.
