Anne Hutchinson was born in England, the daughter of a clergyman. As such, she had certain religious beliefs. She came to America in 1734 with her family, following John Cotton, a persecuted religious leader in England. She settled in Massachusetts, a Puritan colony at the time. She had very different, more tolerant religious ideas, and she spoke her mind about them. She also held meetings in her home primarily attended by women. Because of this, she was severely breaking the gender norms of the day, when women were not really supposed to take such authority as she did. Governor Winthrop therefore hated her, excommunicated her from the Puritan church, and exiled Anne and her family from Massachusetts. They then settled in Rhode Island where they were killed by a local Native American tribe.
