Beginner Colonial-era Research, Through the Life of Anne Marbury Hutchinson
presented by Kim Richardson
Information and examples for the beginner Colonial-era researcher are interwoven into this story of Anne Hutchinson, who emigrated to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1634 and was a champion of freedom far ahead of her time. Wrongly banished and excommunicated, she was a well-acknowledged leader among the founders of Rhode Island – the progressive, daring group who created the charter that served as the blueprint for our nation’s Constitution.
In her last days, she and most of her children moved to the Bronx and were murdered. Only her daughter Susanna survived; she was kidnapped and ransomed. This amazing account of the beginnings of this great nation is not to be missed and will provide information about colonial-era record-keeping and our nation’s birth which will assist with researching those way-way-back ancestors.
