Birth date, c. 1611 is a guess (given by both Pleasants and Richardson), probably based on her marriage in 1628.
===Siblings===
Anne Lovelace was the sister of several brothers of note:*Thomas Lovelace, born about 1619, active Royalist, immigrated to New York where he was Alderman for New York City, 1671, Sheriff of Richmond County, New York, 1684-5. <ref name="ra3634"/>*Richard Loveless the poet .<ref name="VMHB29.1">Pleasants, J.

He was granted a pass 10 May 1652 by the parliamentary commissioners to go to the King of the Scots on the continent. He later served as Governor of New York 1668-1673. He returned to Woodstock, Oxfordshire, and died shortly before 22 Dec 1675. <ref name="ra3634"/>*Dudley Lovelace, born about 1623, immigrated to New York, where he was Ensign and Lieutenant of New York militia, 1670 and 1672. <ref name="ra3634"/>
=== 1628 Marriage to Rev. John Gorsuch ===
Anne was married 26 September 1628, at Great Wymondley, Hertfordshire, England to[[Gorsuch-22|Rev. John Gorsuch]], D.D., Rector of Walkern, Hertfordshire, England, son of Daniel Gorsuch, Citizen and mercer of London, by his wife Alice Hall.<ref name="ra3634"/>
=== 1647 Death of John Gorsuch===
Rev. John Gorsuch, a staunch Loyalist, was persecuted as a result of his loyalty to the king. He and Cromwell were at odds, and the parliamentary party filed charges in 1642 (Pg 88).<ref name="VMHB24.1"/>
He was ejected from his living in 1642. <ref name="ra3634"/>
This was a time of severe turmoil, and hundreds of clergy were accused and tried on false charges. Rev. John Gorsuch was charged with Drunkenness, Gaming, seldom appearing in the pulpit, publishing a wicked libel against the Parliament, calling some of them "Fools, Bastards and Cuckolds" (Pg 88).<ref name="VMHB24.1"/>
In 1642, he was ejected from the church and from the Walkern rectory, which was claimed by Mr. Simon Smeath, Vicar of Weston (next to Walkern), and Dr. John Gorsuch "betook himself to ye Haymow & there lost his life."<ref name="VMHB24.1"/> We do not know the details, nor the exact date of his death, but use 1647 as an approximation.
"Pursued by Parliamentary officers in 1647, he took refuge in a hamow and was there smothered." <ref name="ra3634"/>
After John's death, Anne and the children removed to property they owned at Weston (next to Walkern).
==Virginia==
===1651 Immigration to Lancaster County, Virginia===
"His widow, Anne, immigrated to Virginia with her younger children. <ref name="ra3634"/>
In about 1650 or 1651, Anne immigrated to Lancaster County, Virginia with her brothers and several of the children, possibly Richard, Charles, Robert, and Lovelace.<ref name="VMHB24.2"/>
A short time later, on February 22, 1652, "Theo Hoane" (Theophilus Hone) received a grant of land on the Rappahannock in return for the passage of the four younger children of John and Anne Gorsuch.<ref name="VMHB24.3" />
On May 31, 1661, Anne's son, Richard Gorsuch, who had arrived in Virginia earlier, received permission to transport six persons to Virginia, including Elizabeth Gorsuch.<ref name="VMHB24.3"/>
=== 1652 Death of Anne in Virginia Legacy ===
Letters of administration on the estate of "Anne Gorsuch, late of Weston, Hertfordshire, but deceased in "parts beyond the seas, widow" were issued in England to her son Daniel Gorsuch, 2 June 1652. <ref name="ra3634"/>
These letters were filed by her son, Daniel, at Prerogative Court of Canterbury, England, showing she probably died at her home at Lancaster County, Virginia Colony, or alternatively, she could have died at sea (p 89).<ref name="VMHB24.1"/>
==Issue==
They had seven sons, Daniel, John, William, Robert, Richard, Charles, and Lovelace, and six daughters, Katherine (wife of William Whitby), Anna, Anna (again, wife of Capt. Thomas Todd, Capt David Jones and Capt. John Oldton, Elizabeth, wife of Howll Powell, Joanna, and Frances. <ref name="ra3634"/>
They had eleven or twelve children; they were: William, Daniel, Katherine, Robert, Richard, Anne, Elizabeth, Charles, Lovelace, Frances, John, and possibly Joanna(?). The five youngest children were not mentioned in the will of their grandfather, Daniel Gorsuch (written in 1638), but were mentioned in the will of their grandmother, Alice; so they were all born after 1638.<ref name="VMHB24.1"/>

Hall, [http://www.jstor.org/stable/4243737 ''The Gorsuch and Lovelace Families (Concluded)''] ''The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography,'' Vol. 27, No. 3/4 (Jul. - Oct., 1919), pp. 379-392, Virginia Historical Society, JSTOR.org accessed April 19, 2015</ref> One source says that se died young.<ref name="VMHB24.1"/> but she was still living in 1662.# [[Gorsuch-175|Joanna Gorsuch]] bpt March 15, 1639/40.

There was no daughter, Ruth; this was a mis-reading of the name, "Kath."<ref name="VMHB24.1"/>
All of the children's records have now been found, but we still have the question of whether Anna was identical to Joanna, or were they two different daughters. There was a discovery in the "Bishop's Transcripts" of the Walkern Parish Register of the baptism of Joanna Gorsuch, on March 15, 1639/40, found written in the wrong place, among the marriages for 1639.<ref name="VMHB24.4">Pleasants, J. Hall, [http://www.jstor.org/stable/4243555 "The Gorsuch and Loverlace [''sic''] Families (Continued): Anna Gorsuch and the Todd Family of Virginia and Maryland."] ''The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography,'' Vol. 24, No. 4 (Oct., 1916), pp. 425-440, Virginia Historical Society, JSTOR.org accessed April 19, 2015</ref>
J. Hall Pleasants, who authored the many articles on the Gorsuch and Lovelace families in ''The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography,'' believes the entry for Joanna was just a duplication of the entry for Anna. He contends that the correct entry is March 13, 1638/9, because Anna must have been married when she did not join her siblings in their 1656 petition for guardians.<ref name="VMHB24.4"/>
However, there could have been two daughters, Anna and Joanna, where Anna was married while Joanna had died before the petition in 1656. It would be a complex error with both the day and year different - possible but unusual.
==Children in America==
===1659 Move to Baltimore County, Maryland with Gorsuch Family===
1659 July 16. Thomas Powell granted 700 acres, Howell Powell granted 300 acres on north shore of Patapsco River in Baltimore County, MD. Grants in same vicinity the same date were made to other residents (or former residents) of Lancaster County, VA: Robert Gorsuch, Richard Gorsuch, William Dickinson, and others. <ref name="strong"> Robert T. Strong<rtstrongjr@juno.com > Manager, Strong Mail List, Thomas POWELLs of Old Rappahannock Co., VA & Lancaster Co., VA; 08 Apr 1997. http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/POWELL/1997-04/0860525213. Accessed February 9, 2016 </ref>
1661 May 13. Thomas Powell and Richard Gorsuch claimed headrights for transporting 12 persons to Maryland, including Howell Powell, Elizabeth Powell, Ann Powell, Thomas Powell, Ann Powell, Richard Gorsuch, Elizabeth Gorsuch, '''Lovelace Gorsuch'''. <ref name="strong"/>
The Powells and Gorsuch's moving to Maryland in 1661 are therefore:
*Thomas Powell*Richard Gorsuch. (1637- ), age 24, son of Anne Lovelace Gorsuch (1611-1652). Richard, joined the Society of Friends, and were with the group of Quakers driven out of Lancaster County, Virginia by Gov. Berkeley in 1660. <ref name="VMHB24.1" />
*Howell Powell
*Elizabeth Powell, wife of Howell
*Ann Powell, wife of Thomas Powell
*Thomas Powell
*Ann Powell, eldest daughter of Thomas
*Richard Gorsuch
*Elizabeth Gorsuch*[[Gorsuch-168|Lovelace Gorsuch]] (1644-1702), age 17 son of Anne Lovelace Gorsuch (1611-1652). Lovelace joined the Society of Friends, and were with the group of Quakers driven out of Lancaster County, Virginia by Gov. Berkeley in 1660.<ref name="VMHB24.1"/> Married in 1696 at age 52 in Third Haven Quaker Meeting, Talbot Co, MD, had daughter Sarah.
===1660 Society of Friends===
The children: Katharine, Robert, Richard, Anna, Elizabeth, Charles and Lovelace settled in Virginia or in Maryland. Katherine who married William Whitby may have returned to England, but the other six remained. They married (with the probable exception of Robert) and left numerous descendants. (Va. Mag. xxiv-xxvii).
The sons, Richard, Charles, Robert, and Lovelace, joined the Society of Friends, and were with the group of Quakers driven out of Lancaster County, Virginia by Gov. Berkeley in 1660.<ref name="VMHB24.1"/>
Charles and Robert settled on the Patapsco (future site of Baltimore), while Richard and Lovelace settled on the Choptank.<ref name="VMHB24.3"/>(Va. Mag. xxvii, 384-391)
[[Gorsuch-25|Anne/Anna Gorsuch]] bpt March 13, 1638/9 Walkern, remained in Virginia with her successive husbands 1) Capt. Thomas Todd, 2) Capt. David Jones, 3) Capt. John Oldton
[[Gorsuch-192|Elizabeth Gorsuch]] bpt May 13, 1641, remained in Virginia with her husband Howell Powell; it is possible the she was the Elizabeth who then married [[Howard-171|Cornelius Howard]] in Maryland.
[[Gorsuch-21|Charles Gorsuch]] was bpt Aug 25, 1642. In 1690/1 her married by certificate Anne Hawkins at a West River, Maryland Quaker MM
[[Gorsuch-214|Frances Gorsuch]] b after 1642. She was called a granddaughter in Anne (Barnes) Gorsuch's will (Pg 85). The daughter, Frances, (erroneously often identified as a son), was clearly called "daughter" in the 1662 will of her grandmother, Alice (Hall) Gorsuch, "Johanna and Frances daughters of my said son John" (Pg 392) and thus was still living in 1662, presumably still unmarried.<ref name="VMHB27.34" />
==Legacy==
Seventeen of the sureties of the Magna Carta have descendants who settled in the American Colonies. Of the nobles, William Longespee, Earl of Salisbury; Alan of Galloway, Constable of Scotland; William, Earl of Warren and Surrey; and Thomas and Alan Basset have American descendants: From Virginia: Anne Lovelace, wife of Rev. John Gorsuch; is one of those listed.<ref>Harleian Soc. Pub., vol. 90, p. 327; vol. 42, p. 126.</ref>
