From "The Overtons 700 Years," by Nan Overton West:

CHARACTER BEYOND REPROACH

Anne and her husband Robert Overton most assuredly had a marriage that would be the envy of all. Writings indicate that she was an extremely self-reliant woman and quite willing to assume the role of head of household in her husband's absences. That Robert spent a great deal of his time in prison grieving the loss of her companionship while immortalizing her in his poems speaks volumes about their relationship. When Robert became seriously ill while in prison in 1658, Anne left her home to attend to his needs. Anne died of cancer after a long illness, while Robert was imprisoned. In his will, Robert asked to be buried near his wife, but this did not happen.
