I see no source for the claim she died in 1628 in Norwich, so I don't know what it could be. The consensus, however, appears to be that Peter Baret's letter to Christopher Huntington dated April 20, 1650 refers to Ann and implies that she was still living in 1649.

In Anderson's Great Migration Begins, vol. 2, p. 1045 (under Simon Huntington), it reads "Ann, b. say 1627; alive in 1649; no further record." He cites "Hale, House" (of which more later), and in the comments refers to Baret's letter, which however he erroneously dates to 1649.

In The Huntington Family in America, p. 12, it is also stated that this letter refers to Ann.

In Hale, House, and related families, p. 648, Jacobus concludes that "presumably" the beneficiaries listed in the letter are Simon's children, including Ann. He misdates the letter as Aug 20, a lesser error than Anderson's.

Here is a transcription of the letter. Peter is in Norwich writing to Christopher in Saybrook, and says he is responding to a letter dated Sept 20, 1649. This earlier letter does not survive, but since the topic is bequests, and Peter believes Ann to still be alive, I expect the inference is that she was alive when Christopher wrote him from Saybrook in 1649.

The letter also refers to a planned cash benefit to Ann because of "her preferment by way of marriage". I'm not certain what this means; whether she is married, not married, or about to be married. Someone who understands contemporary lingo better can perhaps weigh in.

Thank you. I have changed the DOD.

I also removed her place of death (previously Norwich). It is not known where she died, but it's highly unlikely she sailed back to England.

Ann did not die in 1628. She was still alive in 1649.
