Notes

Also Anne and Mary Ann; WFT estimates birth 1661-1686 (VA) 1661-1700, b. also 1704 in Orange County, Wales, Church of Jesus Christ of LDS provides that she was b. 1704 in County Downs, Ireland and Highlands of Scotland; Church of Jesus Christ of LDS provides d. aft. 1742 in Virginia, d. bef. 1804 in Va., d. 1742 and WFT estimates d. 1694-1784; Church of Jesus Christ of LDS provides m. abt. 1736 in poss. Orange Co., Va.

Some records indicate that she/her parents were from Wales. Something is wrong with the record, Ann and her father are listed as born in the same year. There are many problems with this couple and these records. I[David Porter] cannot decide whether she is married to an older generation Benjamin d. by 1730 when she is acknowledging dower (see entry under Benjamin Porter) - b. 1661. The Cambpells (some of them anyway) landed at Philadelphia to Penn. to VA.
