Deduction my ass. It's just using the fictionalized Crucible as a source and calling it done. Arthur Miller's source for that was entirely anecdotal by his own admission, and has never been directly clarified. There is no evidence one way or another, just stories and "legends", with the Crucible being the most famous due to his status as a literary/theater classic despite being very fictionalized.
