Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
1!. Mrs!. Mary Frith was a "cut-purse" or pickpocket in the late Elizabethan age!. I've attached an excellent site on her below!.

2!. Joan Prentis was tortured and hanged for the crime of being a witch in 1589!. I've attached a moderately good website which discusses her execution!. It is really a call-to-action for modern witches, but does offer some information about Joan!.

3!. In 1590 Henry Willard of Dartford England was sentenced to hang for stealing a cow!. Again, the website is attached below!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
