William DYER wife's name was Mary Barrett and she was a contemporary of
Anne Marbury HUTCHINSON and famout in her own right. (The two women knew each
other - Anne midwived a srtillborn child of Mary's.) I've included my research
notes so you can see. She was one of the first Quakers and the Puritans in
Boston hanged her for her religious beliefs.
HUTCHINSON/MAYBURY lines. Anne Marbury's line goes way back into early
English royalty. She is probably the most famous woman of 1600's NE history.
A woman's libber long before it was popular. She believed (Contrary to the
then Puritan belief of adhering strictly to the Bible and what the preachers
preached) that one shoudl interpret the Bible according to one's own beliefs.
She was VERY popular, and managed to sway all the women and most of the men in
BOston over to her side - but unfortunately for her, Gov. Winthrop had other
ideas and he managed to bring her to tgrial where she was condembed and
banished from Boston. So she went on to found Portsmouth, RI (while another
ancestor of mine, Roger Williams, was founding Providence, RI)
Anne met a nasty end, however. Eben though she was very friendly to the
Native Americans, eventually she and her entire family (youngest children
living with her - all except one young daughter who was taken captive) were
massacred by Indians. Fortunately for us, her son Edward was an adult and
living elsewhere at the time. There is a lot written about her.
