• Notes

  She evidently had an affair with Capt. James Smith of Boston, for which he was excommunicated from the Boston church on 4 Jul 1647, "for uncomely and uncleane fellowship with Anne Grosse the wife of our brother Isack Grosse and for sundry untruths in his answers about it." Smith was already notorious for a legal case in 1645 in which he and his first mate, Keysar, were charged with the kidnapping two Africans and causing the deaths of others. Anne Lobley and her husband Isaac Gross stayed together, and after his death she did not remarry.
