Margaret Krieger

Sources attach this name to the 1 place below. The name itself is part of the folklore record.

An 1867 gazetteer account says widow Margaret Krieger was tested by being put into an icy river around 1785; she sank and was rescued. The marker presents the episode as local legend. Reports in the file date to 1867 Vermont Historical Gazetteer account cited by foundation. The reports at North Pownal Witch Trial Marker are the site's second history — unofficial, unverified, and stubbornly retold. The name travels further than the proof; the sightings keep renewing the lease.
