Anne Hutchinson (July, 1591 – August 20, 1643) was the unauthorized Puritan preacher of a dissident church discussion group and a pioneer in Rhode Island and the Bronx.

Hutchinson was born Anne Marbury, sometime in July of 1591 in Alford, Lincolnshire, England. Her parents were Francis Marbury (1555-1611), a clergyman, and Bridget Dryden (1563-1645).

At the age of 21, she married William Hutchinson. They considered themselves to be part of the Puritan movement, and in particular, they followed the teachings of the Reverend John Cotton.
Puritans, just like other non-Anglican sects, were being forced to pay taxes to the Crown in England and they began to migrate to America for greater financial freedoms. Hutchinson emigrated from England to Massachusetts in 1634 without John Cotton's approval. She, her husband William, and ten of their children sailed to America on the Griffon. Anne Hutchinson lost a total of four children in early childhood, one of whom was born in America.

Anne Hutchinson's conflict with the colony's Puritan religious establishment began with a series of Bible-study classes. Hutchinson invited her friends and neighbors — women, at first — to discuss in her home the literal words of the Bible. She may have also discussed the teachings of charismatic local minister, the Reverend John Cotton, according to one historian although other sources suggest that the colony had banished the Reverend Cotton around the time of her arrival in Massachusetts.

At some point in her teachings, Hutchinson moved beyond straight-forward discussions of Biblical texts and into the more controversial practice of commenting on teachings from the pulpit of the established religious hierarchy, specifically the Reverend John Wilson. As word of her teachings spread, she accrued new followers, among them men like Sir Henry Vane, who would become the governor of the colony in 1636. Contemporary reports suggest that upwards of eighty people attended her home Bible study sessions. Officially sanctioned sermons may or may not have had more regular attendance.

Hutchinson, Vane and John Cotton may have attempted, according to some historical accounts, to have Reverend Wilson replaced with Anne's brother-in-law, John Wheelwright. In 1637, Vane lost the governorship to John Winthrop, who did not share Vane's opinion of Hutchinson. He instead "considered her a threat to his 'city set on a hill'," according to Gomes, and described her meetings as being a "thing not tolerable nor comely in the sight of God, nor fitting for [her] sex."

Hutchinson publicly justified her comments on pulpit teachings, against contemporary religious mores, as being authorized by 'an inner spiritual truth.' Governor Winthrop and the established religious hierarchy considered her comments to be heretical, i.e. unfounded criticism of the clergy from an unauthorized source. They accused Hutchinson of blasphemy and of lewd conduct. She was put on trial, found guilty and eventually banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

She and several dozen followers relocated to Rhode Island and then later to Long Island Sound where she and all her children (that were present, five of the eldest were still in Rhode Island) save one were scalped during a Siwanoy tribe attack on their settlement. She died at what is now Pelham Bay Park in New York in 1643. One of her children, Susanna Hutchinson, was taken by the Native Americans, but was ransomed back after four years.

Upheld equally as a symbol of religious freedom, liberal thinking and feminism, Anne Hutchinson is something of a contentious figure for modern audiences. A current “cause celebre”, she has been in turn lionized, mythologized and demonized by like-minded individuals. In particular, historians and other observers have interpreted and re-interpreted her life within the following frameworks:

Unauthorized influence
Historians who interpret Hutchinson's life events through the lens of the power politic, have drawn the conclusion that Hutchinson suffered more because of her growing influence rather than her radical teachings. In his article on Hutchinson in Forerunner magazine, Rogers says as much, writing that her interpretations were not "antithetical to what the puritans believed at all. What began as the quibbling over fine points of Christian doctrine ended as a confrontation over the role of authority in the colony." Hutchinson may have criticized the established religious authorities, as did others, but she did so while cultivating an energetic following.

Role of women in Puritan society
Yet Hutchinson may not have been brought down by religious intolerance alone; other commentators have suggested that she fell victim to contemporary mores surrounding the role of women in Puritan society. Hutchinson, according to numerous reports, spoke her mind freely within the context of a male hierarchy unaccustomed to outspoken women. In addition, she welcomed men into her home, an unusual act in a Puritan society. It may also be noteworthy that Hutchinson shared the profession — midwifery — that would become a pivotal attribute of the women accused in the Salem witch trials of 1692, forty years after her death..

Political kingmaking
One little-publicized interpretation suggests that Hutchinson doomed herself by engaging in political maneuvering surrounding the leadership of her church, and therefore of the local colonial government. She found herself on the losing side of a political battle that continued long after the election was won.

Answer 2

Are you takin an at-home multiple guess test? I see alot of these on the list tonight. Anyway, you can't answer this question the way it is designed. Anne Hutchinson was known for her in-home Bible study discussion groups that met weekly to discuss the validity and essence of the minister's sermon for that week. Since the group did not accept the sermon without this weekly discussion, Mrs. Hutchinson met with some opposition from the powers that be. The movement that came out of this home group later became the unitarians because they did not accept Trinitarian doctrine. As time went on, the Unitarians drifted further and further away from the Bible and some became part of the Transcendental movement of the 1800's.
