Biography
Anne was born in Alford, Lincolnshire, England to William Hutchinson and Anne Marbury. She immigrated to America with her parents, her grandmother, Susanna Hutchinson and her siblings in 1634.
Anne married William Collins in 1641 and they had one son, named William. On a fateful day, Anne was visiting with her mother at the Hutchinson home. Sometime in August 1643 a group of marauding Siquey Indians raided the Hutchinson home and slaughtered the family, burning their home to the ground. Her husband was away with their son or they would have been killed.
The Indians mistook the Hutchinson's for Dutch settlers, the intended target. Anne's sister, Susanna Hutchinson, was the only survivor. And she was held as a captive for several years, until her older brother Edward paid a ransom for her release.
The Hutchinson cabin was located in Pelham Bay Settlement, Long Island, which today is called the Bronx, New York.
