Lone Tree Hill, a famous historical site, bore a tablet on its westerly side marking the site of George and Susannah's home. The boulder which marked their homestead has been moved to make room for a highway, and it can be found on the map where the highway crosses Martin Road in Amesbury. The marker lies nearby. George was one of the largest landowners in Amesbury. The inscription on the marker reads: "Here stood the house of Susannah Martin. An honest, hardworking Christian woman accused of being a witch and executed at Salem, July 19, 1692. She will be missed! A Martyr of Superstition. T.I.A. 1894."
In the 19th century, poet John Greenleaf Whittier composed "The Witch's Daughter" about Martin.
On Aug 29, 1957 the State of Massachusetts voted to wipe from the books the convictions of six women that had been unjustly accused of being witches 265 years earlier. Then Gov. Foster Furcolo signed the legislative intended to clear Susannah Martin, as well as: Ann Pudeator, Bridget Bishop, Alice Parker, Margaret Scott and Wilmot Redd. All had been convicted in a colonial court and hanged during the 17th century.
However, while taking a graduate course on Salem witchcraft during the late 1990s, Paula Keene discovered that, although the legislators intended to pardon all six of the women in 1957, only Ann Pudeater's name was listed on the official documents. Susannah Martin, Bridget Bishop, Alice Parker, Margaret Scott and Wilmot Redd were simply listed as "five others convicted of witchcraft." Keene and state representative Michael Ruane worked together to redress the issue.
On Halloween 2001, due to Keene and Ruane's efforts, as well as the efforts of many of the descendants of the accused witches, Susannah Martin, Bridget Bishop, Alice Parker, Margaret Scott and Wilmot Redd were finally, and truly exonerated by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Descendants of Susannah Martin’s, Ethel Mae Hilton and grandchildren Douglas and Madrey Margaret Hilton were the only members of their family interested in the history of their accused witch ancestor.
Kirsten Gillibrand 2020 presidential campaign
Kirsten Gillibrand, the junior Senator from New York, began on March 17, 2019 with her formal announcement in Troy, New York and ended when she failed to qualify for the third primary debate on August 28, 2019.
In January 2019, she announced the formation of an exploratory committee to think about running for the Democratic nomination in the 2020 United States presidential election. She made the announcement on January 15, 2019, in an appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert". The campaign accepted donations from individuals and refuses political action committee donations.
Her view on guns clearly changed after the 2012 school shooting. It is reported that the pro-gun organization changed from "we like her" to "we hate her". After the announcement, she fights against that pro-gun organization directly by a tweet. She says mass shootings is a real national emergency.
In a Twitter video post on March 17, 2019, Gillibrand announced that she was officially running for president.
After failing to qualify for the third debate in September, Gillibrand ended her campaign on August 28, 2019.

Lawrence Rocks (chemist)
Lawrence Rocks (born August 27, 1933 in New York City) is an American chemist and writer. He wrote a book called "The Energy Crisis" (Crown, 1972). He has been in "Time" magazine. He was also in "National Review" and he has spoken to the United Nations. He has appeared on "The Today Show", and "To Tell The Truth". He has been a guest on "The Mike Douglas Show", and had a column in King Features Syndicate.
In "The Energy Crisis", Rocks said that a national energy center should be created.
Rocks received his Masters of Science degree from Purdue University. He received his Doctor of Science from Technische Hochschule Vienna. He wrote his doctoral thesis in German in the field of analytical chemistry. His thesis discovered separating metal atoms in semi-aqueous solutions, which found that equilibrium constants are changed in semi-aqueous mediums.
Rocks has written other books, such as Developing Your Chemistry Fundamentals(The Petroleum Publishing Company) in 1979.
In 1980 Rocks wrote "Fuels For Tomorrow" (PennWell Publishers 1980), a sequel to The Energy Crisis. This book looked at the future of unconventional fuels. He analyzed environmental hazards created by the biofuel industry. Rocks predicted that the ultimate future of agriculture will be in fermentation chemistry. He said this was less hazardous to the environment.
Dr. Rocks is Professor Emeritus of Chemistry at Long Island University. He has appeared on television on the subjects of elbow injury for baseball pitchers. Dr. Rocks did research on the effect temperature has on a baseball. Rocks found that the optimal bounce of a baseball lies between 68-75 degrees Fahrenheit because at lower temperatures the elastomeres become more rigid and become softer at higher temperatures.
Dr. Rocks defined his concept of "sports chemistry" as "the combination of modern analytical chemistry with sports metrics".
Rocks has done extensive research on how sports chemistry relates to music. He called his research, "molecular rhythm to life," when he appeared on Fox Sports Midwest. He said, "There are body rhythms that will one day be understood for the mind."
"Topps" featured Dr. Rocks on the back of the 2018 "future stars" series baseball card of MLB player Paul DeJong. He became the first scientist to appear on the back of an official Topps MLB player flagship series future stars baseball card. Paul DeJong's card mentioned DeJong being a laboratory assistant to Rocks in the 2017 off-season. They studied the effects of heat on a baseball.
