  1. Born Anne Marbury in 1591 • Father was Reverend Francis Marbury • Married a London merchant William Hutchinson and had 15 children • Grew attached to the teaching and preaching of John Cotton, a Puritan minister. • Left England to practice Puritanism freely in the New World

  3. The Implications of the Trial • No Freedom to Disagree • Individual Liberties • Women’s Right to Religious Thought
