Anne Marbury, or Anne Hutchinson, was born July 20th 1591 in Alford, Lincolnshire, New England. She was the daughter of a clergyman and she married William Hutchinson, a merchant, in 1612. From there, Anne and William moved to Massachusetts, in 1634, to meet with their minister, John Cotton, who had been expelled from his church in England, thanks to the church authorities. William and Anne lived right across the street from the governor of Massachusetts, John Winthrop. Then Hutchinson decided to hold meetings in her home, about religious issues with the men and women, plus merchants and public officials. Anne thought that salvation came from grace, a
mystical experience and that ministers were still teaching Covenant of Works,
instead of a Covenant of Grace. Covenant of Grace was, “an inward conviction of
the coming of the Spirit.” John Winthrop, who was the governor, opposed her,
saying her meetings were “comely in the sight of God and not fitting to your
sex.”, and she lost lots of support. Then, in November 1637, Anne was in the General
Court, questioned thoroughly by John Winthrop, for charges of sedition, which
is making opinions that is dangerous to authority. The court figured it was blasphemy and antinomianism, which is putting your faith above human law and church teachings. The court banished Anne and she left to Rhode Island, then Westchester. Anne Hutchinson died in the month of August or September, 1643, in Pelham Bay, New York, supposedly killed by Indians.
