Did they try to keep Anne Hutchinson and her family's death a secret?

There is no strong historical evidence to suggest that Anne Hutchinson's death, along with that of her family, was actively kept a secret. After her execution in 1643, her legacy and the controversies surrounding her were certainly contentious topics in the New England colonies, leading to some suppression of her ideas and influence. However, her death, along with the tragic fate of her family during an attack by Native Americans in 1643, was documented and discussed in various historical accounts. The circumstances of her life and death contributed to her enduring legacy as a symbol of religious dissent.
