Anne's father had died that previous year, so she went back to Alford. Anne then met her old friend William Hutchinson and married him at Saint Martins Chapel on August 9, 1612. The newly married couple began traveling to St. Boltolphs to hear the preaching of John Cotton.
Anne became very known and was popular for her speeches. But, like Alford, the colony did not have much religious diversity. Anne took her religion to an extreme position. Her and her supporters were banished by the general court of Massachusetts after her trial.
William Hutchinson died in 1642, leaving Anne with the kids. Without her husband Anne felt even less safe, and she didn't want to stay in Portsmouth. There was no other place for her to really go though.
Born in Alford, England, Anne was in a family of one of 13 kids. She was baptized in Alford too. Instead of going to school Anne stayed home and learned from the many books she read.

Tension with the Sinoway Indians was high though. On August 31, 1643 Anne and five of her six children were killed in an indian raid. The only child that lived was taken captive.
John Cotton moved to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1633. After Cotton left Anne felt lost, and persuaded her husband to give his company to his brother and move to the Massachusetts colony. In 1634 Anne, her husband, and her 12 children sailed to America. Living in Massachusetts gave Anne a prominent position in Puritan ways.
Hutchinson's father was master or St. Wilfreds school in Alford, but many times he got in trouble for the way he preached. In 1605 the family decided to move to London where Anne's father would become part of Saint Martins Vintry. Anne was 14 when they moved, and she had to leave behind her friends.
After being banished to Long Island, which was part of New England at the time, Anne and her family moved to Aquidneck in Narragansett Bay. Her and many supporters established the settlement of Portsmouth. Many of her banished supporters stayed with her.
Threats of the Massachusetts Bay Colony taking over Portsmouth startled Anne. She took her 6 youngest children, (the others had already grown up), and hid in an ancient landmark called Split-Rock.
