Anna Palgrave is the daughter of Joan Harris and Richard Palgrave. She was baptized at Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England on 29 October 1626. ^[1] The church where she was baptized is yet unknown, but may have been St. Nicholas, Great Yarmouth, a church which at the time had been subdivided into Puritan, Anglican, and Presbyterian sections. Her father died prior to 1637, as her mother was married by then to Rev. John Young of Southwold, England.

This Anne subsequently married Nicholas Woodbury in 1651 at Salem. She brought her husband her father's property at Great Yarmouth (cf. Boston Evening Transcript, Genealogical Section, 29 Sept. 1930)."^[1] While not explicitly named, she is likely the Anne listed in her stepfather John Yonges' group that sailed to Massachusetts aboard the Mary Anne when she was eleven years old.
