Biography

Anne was born about 1600. She passed away about 1670.

Nothing is known about the origins of Ann, wife to Philip Hill. They would have been married before their daughter Ann's birth in about 1628, either in England or Barbados.^[1]

According to a deposition by her son-in-law Peter Tallman, Ann and her children Ann and Richard came to Rhode Island with him shortly after June 2, 1648.^[2]

Widow Ann Hill went on to marry John Elton.^[2]

On October 14, 1662 Thomas Hobson accused Ann's son-in-law Peter Tallman of cheating her and her children out of 300£. Peter was acquitted, but Hobson requested an appeal before the court in England which he was granted. Ann Elton "of Portsmouth" asked that the Court seize Tallman's property, including his "negers, goods, cattells, money..." in repayment. ^[3]

According to the deposition, Ann lived in Flushing, Long Island, then Staten Island, and then moved to Virginia with her son Robert Hill (who had property in Farnham Parish). The deposition then goes on to say that Philip's wife Ann had one or more children with one Capt. Hudson who "it is reported" she married.^[1]

Research Notes

The final part of the deposition seems a little suspect - Ann could not have had a child after/if she left Rhode Island where Court Records indicate she lived in 1662.

Some sources say that Ann went to Southold, New York. There was a John Elton located there in 1652, but it was a different man (a son or nephew?)

Some sources indicate that John Hobson/Hudson was married to Ann.
