*Death date incorrectly carved on her tombstone. “1851” was read by Smith (1908) & by Garrett (1971) & in 2006. Family histories of Ann and her husband Archibald Roane, second Governor of Tennessee, list her death year as 1831. Her obituary on April 22, 1831, in the local Nashville newspaper, reported her death at her son’s home in Nashville. Her husband had died in 1819 and was buried in Pleasant Grove Cemetery, Knox County, Tennessee.
