The life of Ann (Anna) Roberts Philbrick
Biography
Ann Roberts, a daughter of Thomas Roberts of Dover, in present-day New Hampshire, married James Philbrick and lived with him on the Philbrick homestead in Hampton, on the same state’s coast. The household's recorded births span the years from James in 1651 to Mehetabel in 1668. Their son Joseph was born in 1663.
Ann became a widow in November 1674 when James drowned in Hampton River with Peter Johnson. Their younger children were still at home: Mehetabel was six, Elizabeth eight, and Joseph eleven.
On July 5, 1675 Ann married William Marston, son of the older Captain William Marston. Her second husband was himself a widower. The marriage brought her into another established Hampton family, following the sudden loss of her first husband after more than two decades of recorded family life.
Her given name also appears as Anna.
The burial listing associates Ann (Anna) Roberts Philbrick with Pine Grove Cemetery, Hampton, Rockingham County, New Hampshire, United States.
