wil 28 Leigh Margaret (Molly) known as the Burslem witch 1752
£3.00In the name of God Amen. The last will and Testament of Margaret Leigh of Jackfield in the parish of Burslem in the County of Stafford Spinster made the twenty-fifth day of March in the twenty first year of the Reign of King George the Second over Great Britain and so forth and in the year of our Lord One thousand seven hundred and forty- eight.
This is a copy of her will. However, I have undertaken research of this document in an attempt to dismiss all the stories about her life and her connections with evil spirits. And thereby show its validity. Following her death all sorts of rumours followed which included quite a number of the made not only during her life but even more following her death. All these have been investigated and as a result discharged as totally fabricated in an attempt to gain some financial benefit. None of the theories have been proven.
