Anne Hutchinson Biography Essay

The historical figure I got in class is Anne Hutchinson. Anne Marbury was her maiden name. Marbury was born in the year 1591 in Alford of the United Kingdom on July 1st. Marbury was the eldest daughter of her family. Her father was a priest that was removed from his office and imprisoned for asking for a more educated clergy. Marbury and her family moved to London in 1605 and her father was re-accepted into the clergy. Her father died in 1611 and left his legacy to Marbury of religious independence. In 1612, Anne Marbury moved back to Alford as a bride to William Hutchinson who was a successful cloth merchant. Hutchinson for the next twenty years learned many things like medical herbs while taking care of many kids.
Anne Hutchinson lived a strong life full of fighting for her beliefs and passions. She often listened to a minister who spoke about the same views there until the Church
Tried to silence him, which made him go to America, and Hutchinson persuaded her husband to follow her mentor where her husband became a deputy of the General Court as well as a successful merchant. She was very popular for her knowledge of medical herbs, she often

went to weekly prayer meetings and even holding some of her own in her home. In the meetings they would talk about the serons and sometimes Hutchinson would share her own interpretations of them which is what got her in trouble with the Church and government that caused them to interrogate her and put her on trial after her husband lost the next election for General Court official. Hutchinson was accused of encouraging people to rebel against the Church and government and she defended herself with much skill in debate and biblical knowledge. She also said that her “God” talked to her without anything else which partly lost her the trial that was already lost before she had a chance to defend herself for the judge and prosecutor were the same person and Hutchinson was banished from Massachusetts Bay Colony. Hutchinson went to Rhode Island to freely practice her beliefs, her mentor sided with the Church so she lost her spiritual mentor. She even tried to do the legally right thing by renouncing her “mistakes” but she was cut from the Church for “lying” sin and so she and her family moved to Rhode Island. In the years after her husband died and later almost all her children but one died in an Indian attack.
