Alse Young Life story
Alse Young of Windsor, Connecticut — sometimes Achsah Young or Alice Young — was the first recorded instance of execution for witchcraft in the thirteen American colonies. She had one child, Alice Beamon, born in 1640, who was also condemned for the same crime thirty years later in the 1670s, but was not hanged.
