Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The only reference I could find is that she was executed by hanging along with 7 others and she was the wife of John Parker!. I checked about 5 web sites!.

For the forth and last time, the procession left Salem jail for the place of execution of those persons condemned for witchcraft, on Thursday, September 22d!. There were eight victims this time!. Samuel Wardwell of Andover was the only man to thus suffer, the women were Mrs!. Martha Cory, wife of Giles Cory, Alice Parker, wife of John Parker, and Ann Pudeator, widow of Jacob Pudeator, all of Salem, Mary (Towne) Easty, sister of Rebecca Nurse and wife of Isaac Easty of Topsfield, Margaret Scott, widow of Benjamin Scott of Rowley, aged about seventy-five, Wilmot Reed ("Mammy Red"), wife of Samuel Reed, of Marblehead, and widow Mary Parker of Andover!. Upon the ladder, Mrs!. Cory, protesting her innocence, concluded her life with an earnest prayer!. After the sheriff had done his part in the affair, Rev!. Nicholas Noyes, of Salem, turned toward the suspended bodies of the victims, and said: "What a sad thing it is to see eight firebrands of hell hanging there!."
