John Hawthorne, was the so-called witch judge during the Salem Witch Trials. His mother-in-law, Elizabeth (Freestone) Turner Gardner known as "Lieut. Gardner's wife" was frequently cited in the early church records of Essex County for absence from meeting and for Quaker sympathies.
Born a Freestone, Elizabeth (Freestone)-Turner-Gardner was a kinswoman of the Hutchinson family of Lincolnshire, England, and came to live with William Hutchinson and his more noted wife, Ann (Marbury) Hutchinson, in Boston. Hence, she was early in contact with those who did not conform to standard Puritan practice, since the meetings of the Antinomians were held in the Hutchinson home.

On 26 Oct 1640 Elizabeth Freestone spinster of Boston, Mass. formerly of Alford, Co. Lincs., daughter of Richard Freestone of Horncastle woolen draper deceased, gave a power of attorney to John Hutchinson of Alford to collect certain moneys due to her from the estate of her grandmother Mary Cuthbert and also from the estate of her uncle Robert Freestone deceased, executor of the will of her grandfather Robert Freestone who was one [3]

As a 2nd marriage for both, she married by 1654, Lieut. George Gardner, born abt 1616, son of Thomas. [1] [5]. She, not George, was the convinced Quaker; but he suffered as well by paying her fines and being forced to flee Salem sometime after 1669 to escape persecution. They settled in Hartford, CT.
