Biography

Ann's first name was used interchangeably with Hannah, as was common at this time. She was the daughter of Henry and Elizabeth Loker of Bures St. Mary, Suffolk, England. Her first name is stylized as "Ann" on the original record of her marriage to Richard Newton. Additionally, her name is shown as "Anne" on the birth record for her daughter Ane.

Assuming she was about 20 at marriage, Ann would have been born say about 1616. Henry Loker's Will notes that Ann was "my younger daughter" and that Henry was his "eldest son". This puts Ann's date of birth after her sister Bridgett (Loker) King with a good estimate being 1616, allowing to account for Anne being around 20 when married and 39-40 when having her last child^{[1] [2]} The relationship is further proven in her father's will dated 22 February 1630/1, and proved April 15, 1631 in Bures St. Mary^{[3] [4] [1] [2]}

On August 9, 1636 she married Richard Newton at Bures St. Mary's Church^{[3] [4] [1] [2]}
