Notes
General:
Pocasset was founded by Anne Hutchinson and her small group of religious libertarians. They had met in the Boston home of prominent merchant William Coddington on March 7, 1638. The members of this small group was greatly at odds with and frequently harassed by Massachusetts' ruling Puritans. Hutchinson's group called themselves the "Bodie Politick" and drew up a compact in much the same way as did the Mayflower passengers. Their sworn agreement read as follows:
"We, whose names are underwritten, do here solomly, in the presence of Jehovah, incorporate ourselves into a Bodie Politick, and as He shall help, will submit ourselves, lives and estates unto our Lord Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and to all those perfect and most absolute laws of His given to us in His Holy Word of truth, to be guided and judged thereby."
This compact was signed by Anne & William Hutchinson, William Coddington, Henry Bull, John Clarke, John Coggeshall, William Aspinwall, William Dyer, Nicholas Easton, (an illegible name), William Baulstone, John Sanford, Philip Sherman, John Walker, Samuel Wilbour, Richard Carder and William Freeborn. Coddington purchased the island of Aquidneck from the Indians and the group founded Pocasset in April of 1638. The following, taken from the records of that colony, show that Jeffrey was likely there from the very beginning: "On the 28th of the 2nd month 1639 Upon the complainte of Jeffrey Champlin in the behalfe of a debt due to William Cowly and himselfe from Mr. Aspinwall, warrent was granted forth, for the attachment of his shallopp till both that debt and other actions of the case be satisfied and discharged by him". (Note: under the Julian Calendar in use at the time, the 2nd month was April and 1639 would have been 1638 today).
The Pocasset Colony quickly became a successful agricultural venture but lacked a deep water port from which to ship excess produce. In addition, a power struggle between Coddington and Hutchinson, based on religious interpretations and applications to daily life, developed soon after the settlement began. Coddington had been a wealthy man in Boston and among the religious leaders there and had been a member of the Boston Court which had expelled Roger Williams. Williams described Coddington as a "worldly man" who was more concerned about his own profit and power. Coddington would later become a Quaker.
Due to the need to have a deep water port and because of religious and political difference, Coddington and his supporters (John Clarke, Nicholas Easton, John Coggeshall, William Brenton, Jeremy Clarke, Thomas Hazard, Jeffrey Champlin, Henry Bull, William Dyer and Robert Jeffries) left Pocasset and migrated to the southern end of Aquidneck Island, establishing a new colony which became known as Newport. By the end of the year, 93 people were resident there.
Francis Marbury was known for his Puritan leanings and more than once received the censure of the Established Church. Bridget Dryden was his second wife and the daughter of John Dryden of Canon's Ashby in Northamptonshire. In 1605 the family moved to London. Anne was exposed from birth to religious discussions of the time and no doubt absorbed many of her father's liberal beliefs.
On August 9, 1612 Anne married Thomas Hutchinson, son of a wealthy merchant, and went to his home in Alford to live. There she spent the next 22 years and bore her husband 14 children. In 1633 their eldest child, Edward, emigrated to Massachusetts Bay with John Cotton, previously vicar of St. Botolph's in old Boston, whose preaching had inclined Anne Hutchinson to attend his church. The following year, with her husband and family, she emigrated to Massachusetts on the Griffin, arriving in September. In the new colony she won respect for her vigorous intellect and was loved for her kindliness. She was a thorough student of the Bible and soon her restless and inquiring mind led her to take a strong part in the religious life of the colony. At first she held informal meetings of women in her home and would discuss the sermons of the previous Sunday. She then ventured to expound her own religious beliefs and advocated the preaching of a "covenant of grace" - a religion based upon the individual's direct intuition of God's grace and love - as opposed to the preaching of a "covenant of works" - a religion based on obedience to the laws of church and state. Inasmuch as the policy of the Massachusetts church was based on the latter, her criticisms of the clergy and assertions of her own doctrine soon stirred the colony to its foundations. She was labelled an antinomian by her opponents and was accused of advocating a religion which absolved its adherents from obedience to moral law.
At first the Reverend John Cotton agreed with her views as did her brother-in-law, the Reverend John Wheelwright and Reverend Henry Vane, but in time her support diminished. Early in August 1637 Vane sailed for England. Shortly afterward a synod of the churches was called in which her views were denounced. Cotton acquiesced to the pronouncements of the synod, leaving Wheelwright her strongest ally. In the following session of the General Court Wheelwright was banished and Anne Hutchinson was summoned to trial "for traducing the ministers and their ministry."
After the proceedings, which were a legal travesty, she was sentenced to banishment. When asked on what grounds, the governor, John Winthrop replied: "Say no more. The Court knows wherefore and is satisfied." Sentence of banishment was stayed - it was then winter and her health was delicate - and Anne was committed to the charge of Joseph Weld of Roxbury, the marshal. She was later placed in the home of John Cotton in Boston, where Cotton and the Reverend John Davenport attempted to convince her of her errors.
Twice brought before the church at Boston, she was at length induced to recant in public, but when she finally admitted that her judgement remained unaltered she was accused of lying and was formally excommunicated. In casting her out of the church John Wilson delivered her up to Satan and ordered her "as a leper" to withdraw herself from the congregation.
Thus, in the early spring of 1638 she emigrated with her family to the wilds of Rhode Island where she and her small band of religious libertarians founded the first white colony on Aquidneck Island. They had met in the Boston home of prominent merchant William Coddington on March 7, 1638. This small group were greatly at odds with and frequently harassed by Massachusetts' ruling Puritans. Hutchinson's group calling themselves the "Bodie Politick", drew up a compact in much the same way as did the Mayflower passengers. Their sworn agreement read as follows:
"We, whose names are underwritten, do here solomly, in the presence of Jehovah, incorporate ourselves into a Bodie Politick, and as He shall help, will submit ourselves, lives and estates unto our Lord Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and to all those perfect and most absolute laws of His given to us in His Holy Word of truth, to be guided and judged thereby".
This compact was signed by: Anne & William Hutchinson, William Coddington, Henry Bull, John Clarke, John Coggeshall, William Aspinwall, William Dyer, Nicholas Easton, (an illegible name), William Baulstone, John Sanford, Philip Sherman, John Walker, Samuel Wilbour, Richard Carder and William Freeborn.
Coddington purchased the island of Aquidneck ("Peaceable Island") from Miantonomah and Canonicus, two Sachems of the Narragansetts for 40 fathoms of white beads, 10 coats and 20 hoes. The group, which included Anne, her husband, their 13 children and 60 other people, founded the town of Pocasset in April of 1638. The modern day name of "Portsmouth" was given the settlement a year later.
In 1642 William Hutchinson died and Anne removed with some of her family to Long Island, later establishing a home on the mainland, on the shore of Pelham Bay. Here, in August or September of 1643, she and all but one of her household were murdered by a group of Mohegans. Her youngest daughter, Susannah, who was born in 1633, was carried off by these murderers and later ransomed by the Dutch. Susannah Hutchinson eventually married John Cole at Boston in 1651. They were the grandparents of Susannah Cole Eldred - first wife of Jeffrey Champlin's grandson, Jeffrey Champlin III. 37,38,194
