Ann and Adoniram Judson Arrive in Burma

July 13, 1813  Ann and Adoniram Judson arrived in Rangoon, Burma and began their mission work.  Ann died in 1826, but Adoniram worked in Burma for 37 years.  ABHS has several letters from Ann some of which deal with the change of views on baptism.  There are 5 linear feet of correspondence and other memorabilia of Adoniram’s.  The ship pictured here is a model of the ship the Judson’s sailed in from Salem, MA in 1812.  There are other artifacts in the Judson Memorial Room at ABHS including Adoniram’s trunk and desk which he used in Burma.
