Irish "Slaves"
The Irish sent to Barbados and other Islands weren't slaves - they were mostly indentured servants, usually serving an indenture of 4 to 7 years. About about 25% were prisoners of war, or vagrants, etc, rounded up and transported involuntarily, and forced into indentured service usually for a 10-year period. They were often treated more harshly than those who voluntarily agreed to their indenture, especially on the island of Barbados, but they weren't slaves; they were treated better than the African slaves along side of whom they often worked, and after 10 years they gained their freedom. This argument - that they were "slaves" - is used by White Supremacists as a slur against African Americans, to argue that there is something wrong with African Americans insofar as they were unable to recover from slavery as well as their supposed white Irish counterparts; that type misinterpretation of history has no place here - to say nothing, of course, of its racist origin and nature.

Anne Hutchinson
I am unaware of any reason to label Anne Hutchinson as a Baptist. When banished from Massachusetts, she removed to Rhode Island, initially settled by Baptist Roger Williams, but open to all religions. Had Hutchinson harbored Baptist positions, these would surely have been included in the confession she was required to read at her trial, but nothing of the sort appears there. Hutchinson's sister, Katherine Scott, became a Baptist and moved to Providence, but later became a Quaker; this may be the source of the confusion.Curmudgeonly Pedant (talk) 15:28, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

Lack of Sources
Much of the article is source less, leaving many details to be inexplicable. 108.6.54.155 (talk) 15:40, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
