Born in Northampton, England in 1612, Anne was born to a father who was a leader of volunteer soldiers and a mother that was well educated. At 16, she married a 25 year old husband. The family eventually moved to America. Anne and her family had a rough time living in America. She had gotten smallpox and had eight kids, and she loved all of them. One night there house caught on fire and all of their possessions burned, but because of their standing in the town they soon got everything back. Her husband was gone at work a lot, so she wrote poems while he was away. This was to express her love towards her family and husband. She died of disease at 60.
