Excerpt from Royal Families Americans of Royal and Noble Ancestry Vol. One Gov. Thomas Dudley: Anne was purported to have been the first American poetess. Anne and Simon had four sons and four daughters; all of them lived to maturity, were married and left posterity. Her son Simon wrote an obituary at the time of her death: "September 16, 1672. My ever honoured and dear Mother was translated to Heaven. Her death wa occasioned by a consumption; being wasted to skin and bone.***I eing absent from her, lost the opportunity of comiting to memory her pious and memorable expressions uttered in her sickness. O' y ye good Lord would give unto me and mine a heart to walk in her steps, considering what the end of her conversation was; y so wee might some day have a happy and glorious greeting.:
