10818. John HOWLAND
BIOGRAPHY: John Howland joined the Pilgrims at Southhampton in Sept. 1620 as an indentured servant to Gov. Carver (he was to work for Carver for 7years unless he could pay off his debt sooner). On the voyage "the Mayflower was buffeted by severe storms during which she was forced todrop her sails and head into the wind, wallowing in the mountainouswaves. John Howland ventured on deck and was washed overboard in the boiling sea. In the words of Gov. Bradford (successor to Gov.Carver) 'It pleased God that he caught hould of ye halliards which hunge over board, and rane out at length; yet he was held up ... and then with a boat hooke and other means got into ye ship again' ". On Nov. 11, 1620 (fully recovered from his adventure) John Howland was one of those who signed the MAYFLOWER COMPACT.
On the death of Gov. Carver and that of his wife, since they had no children to inherit, John's indenture was ended and he became head of the Carver household. He later served as assistant Governor and as a Magistrate. In this position he presided over the only witchcraft trial in Plymouth Colony. The wife of William Holmes, Standish's Lieutenant, was tried on comlaint of one Dinah Sylvester. John asked Dinah what evidence she had and Dinah replied "She appeared to me as awitch." "In what shape?" "in the shape of a bear, your honor." "How far off was the bear?" "abut a stone's throw from the highway.""What manner of tail did the bear have?" "I could not tell, your honor, as his head was towards me." To discourage such nonsense, Dinah was fined £5 and whipped, and that was the end of witchcraft in the Old Colony.
10819. Elizabeth TILLEY
Elizabeth was 13 years old when she sailed on the Mayflower. During the voyage from Holland to England on the Speedwell she met a girl ofher own age, Desire Minter, who was traveling to the new world while waiting for her father to meet her there. She was a part of the household of Gov. Carver in the meantime. On the Mayflower she also made friends with John Howland who was traveling as an indentured servant to Gov. Carver.
Elizabeth's uncle Edward and his wife, as well as her father and mother, all died in that terrible first winter in Plymouth. Gov.Carver himself was dying from a stroke when John Tilley died in April1621, Mrs Carver took orphaned Elizabeth in.
After the deaths of both Gov. and Mrs. Carver, John Howland became free of his indenture and took over as head of the household. They resumed their friendship which became more and on 25 March 1923 they were married with daughter Desire arriving 13 Oct. 1623. Elizabeth named their daughter after her friend Desire Minter.

- Letter to Una Pratt Giles:
Dear Sister Giles:
The article by Mrs. Mary Lovering Holman, a distinguished genealogist,
in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Vol. 97, p.
194-195, is conclusive on the father of John Cole of Rhode Island (husband
of Susanna Hutchinson).
The marriage record of John and Susanna in Boston does indeed describe
him as "John Cole, sonne of Isaac Cole."
But the author points out evidence to show Isaac Cole had no son John.
Samuel Cole mentions his son, John, in his will and also his "grand-
child Samuel Cole, the eldest son of my son John Cole."
Samuel Cole owned land at Bendall's Dock. John Cole deeded land at
Bendall's Dock which he says he obtained from his father.
Therefore despite the marriage record statement, I would accept Samuel
as the father of your John.
Sincerely yours,
The Genealogical Society,
A.F. Bennett, General Secretary.

10827. Anne Marbury
NOTE: Anne Marbury was born in Alford, Lincolnshire, England and christened there in the Church of England, 20 July 1591. She was the third of fifteen children born to Reverend Francis Marbury and Bridget Dryden, second cousin to
the poet John Dryden. Her mother's ancestry traces to families of English nobility and to Royal lines, even back to Alfred the Great and Charlemagne
.
Anne's father was a minister in the Church of England in Alford and in London. He was once put on trial for his unorthodox teachings, but he made peace with the church. His grandfather was Mayor of Lincoln (d. 24 may 1565). In 1612 Anne Marbury married William Hutchinson in London. During the next twenty-two years they resided in Alford where fourteen children were born. Two daughters and a son died there.To flee religious persecution, Anne and William decided to emigrate to America. This wealthy family was willing to give up the ease and safety of England for the barren wilderness of the New World in order to follow the exiled minister of their choice, John Cotton. It took great courage, a trait of character Anne displayed throughout her life. Anne was high minded, charitable, and a devout Christian. She displayed early an independence of thought and a firmness of conviction in religious matters, for which she would later have to pay a penalty. But in time she would be honored as the most conspicuous woman in the Eastern Colonies, and she has been called "the most intellectual woman of her century in all America."
On the 18th of September, 1634 Anne and William arrived in Boston Massachusetts Bay Colony on the ship "Griffin," with ten children. The 15th child was born there two years later. Life in the hardy village of Boston, particularly for women, was hard, monotonous and depressing in 1634. In these grim surroundings Anne Hutchinson brought new light and new life, dispensing medicine, wisdom and cheer in ample proportions, beloved by some, respected by all. Indeed, Governor Winthrop, whose wise benevolence was tempered with harsh Puritan justice and suspicion of female "meddling," complained that "Mrs. Hutchinson, a woman of ready wit and bold spirit," who "brought over with her
dangerous errors" of religious belief, was more sought out "for counsel and advice than any of the ministers."Anne Hutchinson was not deterred by the growing resentment among the Elders of the colony against her views and outspokenness. New suspicions and jealousies were stirred when she founded the first "woman's club in America--a
meeting in her home for women to discuss the previous Sunday's sermon. Wives and daughters, excluded from the similar discussion traditionally held by the men and bored by their harsh week of labor, flocked to her house. As Anne
expounded more and more of her own views, the crowd of women--and men, too-- who came to hear this new gospel and enjoy her warm hospitality became increasingly large.When Governor Winthrop and other Elders rejected her beloved brother-in-law, John Wheelwright, as assistant to John Cotton, the suspicions and jealousies were intensified. Anne stated publicly that only Cotton and Wheelright, of all the ministers in the colony, were worthy of attention. Her brilliant analysis of prevailing theological doctrine cut behind the accepted words and phrases of the other ministers, bringing fear and anger to their hearts as well as increased numbers to her meetings. What right had this mere woman, never ordained as a minister, to preach a divisive gospel? By what authority did she stress the grace of a believing heart over outwarad evidence, canon laws and church attendance?
An attack on the church was an attack on the state under the Puritan theocracy governing Massachusetts. John Wheelwright was censured, then tried and later banished for sedition and contempt. His friends who signed a petition on his behalf were deprived of their weapons. The "Hutchinsonians" who held public office were then defeated in the May 1637 elections. And finally Anne Hutchinson herself was brought to trial before the General Court.
The woman who stood trial, head unbowed, before the General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony on that raw winter's day in 1637, was indeed dangerous, according to the charges presented: "One of those who have troubled
the peace of the Commonwealth and the churches". . . "not fit for our society". . . the "cursed fountain" of "all the mischief and all those dastardly things which have been overthrowing" law and order in the colony. The great and good
Governor John Winthrop himself presided over the court and tongue-lashed the defendant with accusations and contempt. With him, their manner as stern as the rocky shores of New England on which they had carved out a new beachhead of civilization, the magistrates, deputies and ministers of the Colony sat with rigid scowls, determined to punish and humiliate this evil source of criticism and heresy.The defendant before them--enfeebled in body, depressed in mind but invincible in spirit--did not fit the picture of a dangerous criminal being tried by a great state in an historic trial. Anne Hutchinson was a forty-six-year-old housewife and mother of fifteen children and expecting another, incapable of violence, disloyalty or duplicity. She stood, weary and alone, in open court to face her accusers, denied the right of counsel or even the steadying presence of a friend. She knew she had no prospect whatsoever of persuading the court or governor of her innocence, and very little prospect of
being treated with the leniency her sex, her high standing in the community, and her gentle nature might otherwise deserve. Yet, rather than recant and throw herself upon the mercy of the court, Anne Hutchinson not only defended
but reiterated even more strongly the religious views she was accused of preaching to others.Legend had it that the trial was held in an unlighted, unheated church in Newtown, in order to discourage Anne's friends from crossing the Charles River and marshes to support her. The weather was raw; the ice was already piling up on the banks of the Charles. In this gloomy courtroom the fundamental right of free worship, which someday all Americans would enjoy, was being defended by a lonely woman.
Ruthlessly and unfairly cross-examined by the openly antagonistic civil and religious authorities she had challenged, Mrs. Hutchinson replied with determination and candor to those who sat in biased judgment on her. More than once she clearly had the better of the argument with her more-learned judges. She had even the temerity to ask that the ministers who were witnesses in their own case (as well as judges) be required to take an oath to tell the truth! She was given every opportunity to repent, to back down, to discard her dangerous beliefs and teachings, but she would not. And so the official journal of the Massachusetts Bay Colony records that one "Mrs. Hutchinson, wife of William Hutchinson, being convicted of traducing the ministers and the ministry of this country, (was) thereupon banished."
Later, Anne's youngest sister, Katherine, because of her religious views, was imprisoned in Boston and cruelly whipped. Thus these Marbury sisters were among those leaders who fought for the right of religious freedom, an ideal which became, over a century later, one of the fundamental guarantees of the American Constitution.
Expelled from Boston, excommunicated from the church, pursued for the rest of her life by the wrath of the elders, she helped to found a new settlement of religious freedom in the wilderness of Rhode Island. It was in the Spring of 1638 when Anne joined her beloved Will, who had earlier gone to find a home in the settlement of Aquidneck, later called Rhode Island. With her went many of her followers and the following nine children: Francis, age 17, Bridget, Samuel, Anne, Maria, and Katherine, together with the small ones, William, Susanna, and two-year-old Zuryell. Edward, the eldest son, was one of the first settlers of Newport, Rhode Island but then returned to Boston for business; he died of wounds incurred during the King PhillipsWar. Richard is supposed to have stayed behind in Boston; he is next heard of
in London.Persecution followed Anne to Rhode Island. It appeard that Massachusetts would claim jurisdiction over the colony there. Her husband died in 1642, and without his loyalty and protection, his widow moved, with six of her children,into the New York wilderness. She and her family sought a haven near the Dutch settlement of New Amsterdam, in Westchester County, New York. She built the first house in this area.
On August 20, 1643 the settlement was attacked by Indians. They at first appeared to be friendly, but when the dogs were tied the Indians cruelly tomahawked the devoted mother and all her children, save one, the nine-year-old
daughter Susanna. They burned the house and carried Susanna into captivity. she remained with her captors four years and was finally ransomed by the Dutch and returned to her relatives in Boston.Susanna, alone, was spared to become our ancestor. She eventually married John Cole and had eleven children, leaving a numerous posterity including the five Pratt brothers, sons of Jared Pratt and Charity Dickinson, her fourth-
great granddaughter.A bronze tablet placed on "Split Rock" in Westchester County, New York marks the place of the untimely death of Anne Hutchinson. This tablet reads, "Anne Hutchinson, banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1638 because of
her devotion to religious liberty. This courageous woman sought freedom from persecution in New Netherland. Near this rock in 1643 she and her household were massacred by Indians. This tablet is placed here by the Colonial Dames of the State of New York, Anno Domini MCMXI."In front of the State House in Boston there is a majestic statue of Anne Hutchinson wrought by Cyrus E. Dallin. With head held high, lips proudly curved, poised, erect and imperious, one hand holding a Bible and the other resting on the shoulder of her young daughter, she stands as when she paused on the threshold of the church that had rejected her, and proclaimed, "Better to be cast out of the church than to deny Christ." She was unafraid. It is an interesting example of the irony of history that her statue should now occupy a place of honor in front of the present meeting place of the General Court of Massachusetts, which cast her out of their jurisdiction so many years before.
