Notes for Katherine Chatham: From: Wed Apr 2 02:35 EST 1997 Organization: Huddleston/Hudelson Family History Subject: Quakers Katherine Chatham was a Quakeress who came to Boston in 1660 dressed in sackcloth as a sign of belief, and was so persecuted that they stripped her naked in the middle of winter and then drove her out of the colony into the woods to die, but she fooled them and survived to return and marry a widower John Chamberlin, about 1663, she had 3 children by him and then when he died in April 1666, (but believe it was really 1667) she then a few years later married Valentine Huddleston 1629-1728, and they had 4 more children. -Ancestors of Barbara Elaine SHELLEY - 20 Generations - 11/14/1999 "Yet a word or two of Katherine Chatham of whom I have made mention in the margin of what hath been said before. She came from London through many trials and hard travels to Boston and appeared clothed with sackcloth as a sign of the indignation of the Lord coming upon you in the weight and sense of which she came there and appeared for which instead of coming to a sense of your condition and what was coming upon you in the burden of which she Came so far and through such hardship. You laid hand upon her and put her in prison out of which you would give no deliverance until with the seven and twenty aforesaid you drove her out with sword and club in to the wilderness and that was the reward you gave her for hr love in coming so amongst you. And such was your rage and cruelty to her that at Dudham she was not only whipped but the man that was with her and traveled together through you had little to say to him. After this she coming to Boston again you imp\isoned her a long season there to pay a fine you laid upon her thinking to be rid Of her that way in cold winder and sad extremities and sickness near to death but the Lord otherwise provided for her and disappoint\inted you for she was took to wife by John Chamberlaine and so became an inhabitant of Boston" 1690 -Bishop
