Not exactly. They testified against her and "admitted" that they were
witches themselves (though they got off in exchange for their
testimony and their mother didn't). I hope they were properly ashamed
of themselves in later life!

I can't find anything with the "Queen of the Hebrews" phrase, though I
know I didn't make it up, but here's a link to a summary of the
testimony, complete with "rampant hag" and "Queen of Hell," if
anyone's interested:

Martha's son Richard, mentioned in item IV, is the one I'm descended
from. Voldemort would envy them their supposed powers!

Carol, who swears she's never struck anyone deaf by looking at them or
attended a "Diabolical Sacrament"
