Ann Bradstreet

Ann (Wood) Price Bradstreet (1647 - 1707), daughter of Richard Wood and Ann Priddeth, was born c.1650 at Andover, Essex County, Massachusetts; and died at the age of about 60 in 1707 at Andover. She is buried at the Old North Parish Burying Ground, North Andover, Essex County, Massachusetts.

Ann married (1) Theodore Price, son of Captain Walter Price, on 1 August 1667 at Salem, Essex County, Massachusetts; they had one daughter. Following the death of Price, she married (2) Colonel Dudley Bradstreet (1647 Cambridge - 1706) on 12 November 1673 at Andover, Essex County, Massachusetts, with whom she had three children.

An esquire, colonel in the militia, selectman, town clerk, school teacher and for many years a magistrate, Bradstreet was serving as the Justice of Peace in Andover during the witch hysteria. Though he didn't believe the witchcraft delusion, his duties required him to issue almost 50 arrest warrants before he finally refused to issue any more. Afterwards, both Dudley and his wife, Ann were also accused. They temporarily fled the area, evading arrest.
