Christian Penn

Abt 1607 - Abt 1684  (77 years)

• Name	Christian Penn  [1]
  Birth	Abt 1607	England   [2]
  Gender	Female
  Death	Abt 1684	Middleboro, Plymouth Co., Massachusetts, USA   [2]
  Notes	From Memoirs of the Leonard, Thompson and Haskell Families, p. 226: Christian Penn, who arrived on the Anne in 1623, was one of the few single women who came on the Pilgrim ships, the females on these being mostly either married women, or adolescent children. Perhaps Christian knew when she came that she was soon to become the third wife of Francis Eaton. It looks as though her marriage to him had been arranged beforehand by letter. Her elderly husband did not long survive his third marriage and his young widow was married in 1634 to Francis Billington. This was probably a love-match, otherwise Christian would not have been willing to become a member of the disgraced and ostracised Billington family. Sorrows thickened around this pair who had eight children they could not support. That Christian should have been obliged to see her children "bound out" into unsympathetic families must have been an overwhelming trial.
