1) The Putnams' brother in law, James Bayley, was to be the next minister of Salem. However, a faction which included the Nurse's prohibited this from occurring.
2) Mrs. Putnam accused Rebecca Nurse of having murdered her babies as they were born, since Rebecca was the midwife and all but one (Ruth) died within a day of being born.
3) In the opening scene, Rebecca comes in to see Betty and says that she is sure that Betty and Ruth are not bewitched but just being children, a point that Mrs. Putnam strongly disagrees with since she does believe the girls are bewitched.
