Anne MARBURY

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.

Notes:

Name:
Rev. Francis Marbury, son of William Marbury, Gent., of Girsby in Burgh-upon-Bain co. Lincoln, by his wife Agnes, daughter of John Lenon, Esq., probably of Aldwinkle, co. Northampton. He was baptised at St. Pancras, Soper Lane, London, on 27 Oct 1555. He was matriculated pensioner from Christ College, Cambridge, in May, 1571, but did not receive a degree. He was ordained deacon in 1578. He was married for the first time about 1580 to Elizabeth Moore, with three children. His reformist preaching led to imprisonment in the Marshalsea where he wrote an allegorical play entitled "The Contract of Marriage between Wit and Wisdom" in 1579. By 1585 he was a curate and schoolmaster in Alford, co. Lincoln. Francis and Bridget had fifteen children. He was ordained priest in 1605 and became successively Rector of Martin's Vintry, London, of St. Pancras, Soper Lane, and of St. Margaret's New Fish Street. The will of the Rev. Francis Marbury was dated 25 Jan. 1610/11 and proved 14 Feb 1610/11.

He was ordained deacon in 1578. He m. 1st Elizabeth Moore and had three children. It was about this time that Francis began to teach and preach at the church in Northampton near the Dryden estate. Although he had been educated at Cambridge University, he soon found that many of the Anglican ministers were not well educated but appointed to their positions by the ruling bishops for political reasons. The young minister so openly opposed this lack of an educated clergy that in 1578 he was arrested and sent to jail. After he was released and now a widower, he chose to move from Northampton; m. Bridget Dryden and they settled in Alford co. Lincoln, about 125 miles from London. There, Francis supported his growing family by preaching and teaching at St. Wilfred's Church....

Bridget's older brother Erasmus Dryden later became the grandfather of the famous English poet John Dryden. many in her family were Puritans, and at least one relative had been imprisoned in the Tower of London for suggesting religious reforms. The Dryden ancestry traces back through English nobility and the royal lines of Alfred the Great and Charlemagne. Bridget bore Francis thirteen children, the second of whom was Anne later to become the famous Ann Hutchinson, defender of religious freedom. At the time of Anne's birth in 1591, her father was again in trouble over his quarrels with the Anglican leaders. They accused him of being a Puritan and, even though he won his trial, he was forbidden to preach again for several years. This was a benefit for Anne, for now her father could spend his time tending the fields near their home and teaching his young daughter. Anne learned to read though the Bible and an account of her father's first trial, which he had published. Anne moved to the American Colonies, where she and her youngest sister Katherine were destined to play an historic role in the theocratic village of Boston by demanding religious freedom and the right to assemble peaceably. Francis and Bridge had provided the upbringing necessary for these girls to play such a vital role.

Francis married Bridget DRYDEN about 1587. Bridget (daughter of John DRYDEN, Esq. and Elizabeth COPE) was born about 1563; died before 2 Apr 1645. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
