Daughter of Thomas and Judith Atkin Hicks (also spelled Hix), she was also the niece of Elias Hicks, a noted Quaker Preacher.
On October 27, 1767, in Dartmouth, Bristol, Massachusetts, Judith married David Abra Anthony.
David and Judith relocated their family to a log home directly west of Cheshire Harbor in Adams, Berkshire, Massachusetts at the breaking out of the Revolution, at the time of the Battle of Bennington, just twenty (20) miles away. The "Green Mountain Boys" as they were called, procured whatever weapons they could find and hastened to the scene of the battle.
Judith collected her pewterware and other valuables, placed them in her brass kettle, and buried them in the cellar of their home, as was done by all the neighboring women, telling each other where they had hidden their items so whoever survived could have the benefit of the treasures.
But the Green Mountain Boys were victorious and peace was once again restored.
At the time of the division of the Quakers, David relocated to Greenfield, Saratoga, New York to live with their Orthodox son, Elihu, and his family. But Judith remained in Adams for the remainder of her life.
Together they reared nine (9) children: Six (6) sons: Elihu, Humphrey, Comfort, John, Abraham, and David; and three (3) daughters: Susanna, Hannah, and Abigail.
Note: Spelling Variations: Her name has also been recorded in published Genealogy books as: Judieth Hix.
Note: Unable to document vital information for Judith's father but it is believed that he died in Dartmouth, Bristol, Massachusetts, and is also buried there.
