I am researching a man named Hew Draper. Any and all help is appreciated
Hew Draper was an innkeeper that was accused of witchcraft in 1561. He was imprisoned for 2 years in the Tower of London, and there is no record of him after his sentence. He's probably dead, but any info about him is wanted.

- acolderentity 3y agoThere's no record of him dying or being released.
- acolderentity 3y agoI'm trying to figure out which happened

- beardyw 3y ago> He's probably dead In what way is it possible he isn't?

- acolderentity 3y agoNothing yet, but thanks. Honestly, from what it looks like, all Draper did was draw a horoscope. We can always hope it's magic, though.
