Anne MARBURY HUTCHINSON, (1591-1643).

One of the first New England colonists to challenge the authority of the Puritan leaders in religious matters, Anne Hutchinson preferred following her conscience over blind obedience. Her protest helped to establish the principle of freedom of religion.

Anne Marbury was born in Alford, England, and she was baptized on July 20. 1591. Her father was an English clergyman. Twice he was imprisoned for preaching against the established Church of England Although Marbury had no formal education, she learned much by listening to her farther and his friends discuss religion and government. When Marbury was 14 her farther was appointed to St. Martin's Church in London. At 21 she married William Hutchinson, her childhood sweetheart, and they returned to Alford to live. They had 14 children. Despite her busy household affairs, Hutchinson was active in religious affairs. She often made the 24-mile (39-kilometer) journey to Boston, England, to hear John Cotton preach. In 1633 Cotton was forced to leave England because of his Puritan sympathies. With Hutchinson’s eldest son, Edward, he fled to New England. The Hutchinson’s with their other children followed the next year and settled in Boston, Mass.

Soon she held weekly prayer meetings for the women of the colony. At these meetings she often criticized the preaching of the clergy. Hutchinson believed that the Lord dwelt within each individual, and she felt that faith alone would win salvation. This was in opposition to the teachings of the Puritan fathers. By 1636 she had made many converts, including her brother-in-law, the Rev. John Wheelwright, and the young governor, Henry Vane. John Cotton supported her at first, but later he publicly renounced her teachings.

With Governor Vane a convert, the other leaders feared civil disobedience and tried to regain control. When Vane returned to England in 1636, they obtained the Governorship for John Winthrop. At once he banished Wheelwright to New Hampshire and brought Hutchinson to trial She was banished in November 1637, but because of ill health she was permitted to spend the winter in nearby Roxbury

During the winter Cotton and other clergyman tried to get Hutchinson to deny her beliefs, when she refused, she was excommunicated from the church. She and her family and friends moved to Aquidneck, R.I., in 1638 and founded a new colony. After her husband’s death in 1642, Hutchinson moved with her younger children to Pelham Bay in New York. In 1643 she and most of her family were killed by Indians.
