Probably born in England. Her father was a ship owner, mate and possibly captain who participated in shipping supplies for the Winthrop Colony from about the 1636-50. He may have first arrived in New England as early as 1630 with the Winthrop Fleet, but he spent subsequent years on various sea voyages and did not settle permanently in the colonies until several years later. He probably brought his family to America in about 1641, and they may have settled first in the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam. She later settled in Rhode Island.
