Kind(eren):
Ann or Anne, wife of Richard Buffington, was probably born in or near Great Marie, Buckinghamshire, England. She is believed to have married Richard in England and had their first two children there before migrating to West New Jersey about 1675. In the 1965 book, "The Buffington Family in America," Ralph M. Buffington wrote of Ann: "She was an outspoken woman of strongly individualistic views. She often did not conform to the conventions of her day and she was ready to stand by her friends in their difficulties, and lend her support as needs be in their non-adherence to the Quaker rules and regulations of the Province." Judging by the court records of Chester County, that may be an understatement.
On 5 June 1689, Ann Buffington was convicted on charges of defiling her marriage bed. A witness testified that as he was coming from Concord down to Chichester, he saw a man and woman on the ground with "ye man lying upon ye top of ye woman and ye woman looking up he saw it was Anne Buffington." The same witness, who also served as prosecutor, later said "Anne Buffington was very earnest to know who this man and woman was for said shee there is never a woman hereabouts that hath a black hatt butt I and then it must needs be me." The jury sentenced her to "10 strips upon her bear backe well laid on and 12 months imprisonment att hard labour."
In 1695, Ann was again called before the bar of justice. A grand jury charged her with helping Robert Roman take the wife of Henry Hastings away from her husband and children and ordered her to appear at the next court. Ann did not appear because she was ill.
Then in March 1698, Ann Buffington and several other individuals were charged with being witnesses at an unlawful marriage.
But through it all, Richard seems to have stood by her. He even joined in providing the bond in the 1689 case. And some of their children were apparently born after that incident
