In Alford, England, Anne Marbury was born on July 20, 1591. She was born in the time of Queen Elizabeth I. Her father was a minister. Although she did not follow his beliefs and teachings, it gave her training and interest in religion. She grew up in the village of Alford in Lincolnshire, England. Anne spent her adolescence in London. At the age of twenty-one, Anne returned to Alford where she met and later married her husband, William Hutchinson.

Religious leaders were afraid that she would influence other women to act in the same way, which is why they were so eager to end her ministry. Despite their success, Anne's legacy continued to live on. His legacy is not limited to the religious world, but also to the sociological world.
