Notes:

Name:
He came in the ship with Rev. John Lathrop and Zechary Symmes in 1634. he had lived at Alford, co. Lincoln, about 25 miles fromBoston, co. Lincoln. He and his wife Anne were apparently drawn to America by their admiration of Rev. John Cotton. He immigrated on 18 sep 1634 to Boston on the ship "Griffin" along with his children. He was admitted to full communion on 10 Oct 1634 First Church, Boston. He became a freeman 4 Mar 1635, was a representative in May 1635 and served in the courts. He was affected by the violence of the religious controversy, in which his friends Sir Henry Vane and John Cotton were defeated. His family and others of the party were very severely treated. He was forced, with John Coddington and other prominent men, to remove to Rhode Island in 1638. they formed a new civil compact, not much unlike that of Massachusetts. William was an assistant in 1639. After his death in 1642, his widow Ann, who had been the gifted prophetess of the doleful heresies that shook and almost subverted the Colony of Massachusetts, left Rhode Island beyond Connecticut to the Dutch Province (New Amsterdam). After having been fairly established in her new plantation, she and several of her children and others (about sixteen in all) were killed by the Indians.

William married Anne MARBURY on 9 Aug 1612 in London. Anne (daughter of Rev Francis MARBURY and Bridget DRYDEN) was christened on 20 Jul 1591 in Alford, co. Lincoln; died in Aug 1643 in Killed by the Indians in New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Name:
She immigrated on 18 Sep 1634 to Boston on the ship "Griffin". She was no stranger to religion as the daughter of a deacon at Christ Church, Cambridge, co. Cambridge. She was devoted to teachings of the Reverend John Cotton, who had immigrated a year earlier to Boston on the "Griffin", along with her sister Catherine and husband Richard Scott. She missed his departure very much, which inspired her to follow him to New England a year later. She and her husband eventually settled in Boston where she became a skilled midwife. However, she soon found her environment to be religiously oppressive. only the men were allowed to hold prayer meetings Nevertheless, she organized her own meetings with the women in her home, to discuss the previous Sunday sermons. However, she began to tell them of her own beliefs in direct contradiction to the Boston ministers. She attracted hundreds of women, along with many men who joined her as well. Among the men who visited her home was Sir Henry Vane, who became governor of the Colony in 1636. However, when Gov. Van lost his position in 1637 to John Winthrop, Anne's behavior was considered immoral. Winthrop described her meetings as "a thing not tolerable nor comely in the sight of God, nor fitting for your sex," and accused her of breaking the Fifth Commandment by not honoring hr father and mother (in this case, the magistrates of the colony). She was banished from Massachusetts Bay Colony in march 1638. She joined rev. Roger Williams who was banished from Salem in 1636. He established Rhode Island in 1638 where Anne and her family lived from 1638 until her husband's death in 1642. She moved with her children to New Netherland (to what is now Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx), where she and five of her children were massacred by Indians in 1643.
