He served as aide-de-camp to Gen. Hugh Mercer in the battle of Princeton, and afterward to General Gates until the close of the campaign against Burgoyne. He was promoted major on the staff of General Gates and in 1783, while stationed at Newburg, wrote the celebrated "Newburg Letters," which were circulated anonymously among the officers of Gates's command, their object being "to do justice to an ill-used soldiery." He served as secretary and also as adjutant-general of Pennsylvania after the war. He was a delegate to the Continental Congress in 1787, and after his marriage he moved to Dutchess county. He was elected to the U.S. senate, 1799-1801, and 1803-'4. He was U.S. minister to France, 1804-'10, and also to Spain, 1806-'10.

It has been said that the energy he infused into the regular army lasted for half a century. In 1813 the Canadian expedition failed, and three months later the British fired and sacked Washington City. These two disasters were laid at the door of the Secretary of War, and he was censured, chiefly through the instigation of Monroe, who influenced the President to demand Armstrong's resignation, and Monroe succeeded him, taking his portfolio Sept. 27, 1814. Armstrong went to Frederick, Md., and later to his farm at Red Hook, N.Y., where he spent his remaining years in literary work.

      American religious enthusiast, leader of the "Antinomians."¹ Ann Marbury was baptised on 20 July 1591 at Alford, Lincolnshire, England.³ She was the daughter of Rev. Francis Marbury and Bridget Dryden.^1,2 Ann Marbury married William Hutchinson, son of Edward Hutchinson and Susanna (Unknown), on 9 August 1612 in London they had 14 children.^4,5 Edward, the eldest son of William and Anne (Marbury) Hutchinson, accompanied the Rev. John Cotton to Massachusetts Bay colony in 1633, and he was followed by his father and mother, in September, 1634, and by his uncle, the Rev. John Wheelwright, in 1636.

Mrs. Hutchinson for three years made sweeping criticisms of all the preachers of the Bay, except Cotton, whose teachings she upheld. The clergy considered her doctrines "dangerous errors," claiming that she taught: that the person of the Holy Ghost dwells in a justified person;" that "a devout Christian receives from God immediate revelation of His will; "and that "no sanctification can help to evidence to as our justification." She gave public lectures, first to women, and afterward to both men and women, in which she repeated and commented on sermons she bad heard in England. Her only supporters among the clergy were her brother-in-law, the Rev. John Wheelwright, who had been placed over the church at Mount Wollaston (Braintree), and who was outspoken in his advocacy of the doctrine of the "Antinomians," and her pastor, John Cotton, who was less outspoken. Sir Harry Vane, the governor, was her defender. Two parties, one claiming to be "under a covenant of grace," and the other "under a covenant of works," were formed in Boston, and when the Pequot war called for soldiers, a company of militia would not march, as their chaplain was considered to be "under a covenant of works." This brought the church to a determination to put an end to the matter, and Wheelwright was found guilty of preaching a seditious sermon and banished, and Mrs. Hutchinson was exiled from the colony on the civil charge that she disturbed their peace, and, "being convented for traducing the ministers and their ministry, she declared voluntarily her revelations for their ground, and that she should be delivered and the court ruined with their posterity." This action was taken, Nov. 2, 1637.

With her husband and fifteen children, she went to the Narragansett country, and purchased the island of Aquidneck from the Indians, and founded the town of Portsmouth, and the Rev. John Wheelwright went to New Hampshire, and with his followers founded Exeter and Dover. Her husband died in 1642, and with her children, she journeyed toward New Netherlands, and settled west of Mill river in Connecticut. They had been in the place less than a year when the Indians attacked the settlement, and murdered sixteen of the settlers, including Mrs. Hutchinson, and most of her children and servants. One child, Susanna, ten years old, was carried into captivity and ransomed four years afterward, and in 1651, was married to John Cole, of Rhode Island. Ann Marbury was killed on 20 August 1643 at the age of 52 in Long Island Sound in an Indian uprising.^1,5
