Evan, Thomas Williamson, Daniel Williams, Edward Williams, and a few others. Hannah Matson is thought to have been the great-granddaughter of the accused in the only witchcraft trial ever held in Pennsylvania. Margaret Mattson of Chester Co, Pennsylvania was tried in the year 1683. She was found guilty of having the common fame of a witch but was acquitted of actually being one. Her husband, Nils, arrived in New Sweden in 1654 and took up land along the Delaware and Schuykill Rivers. After his wife's trial, he moved into New Jersey. His son, John, apparently had a son, John, who moved into Upper Marion, Pennsylvania in 1712. John the younger is thought to have been Hannah's father.
