Ann "Annie" J McChesney was the third child and first daughter of Robert McChesney and Elizabeth Johnston. She was born on 9 Feb 1799 in Augusta County, Virginia. At age 17 1/2, she married Colonel Isaiah McBride, 22 years older, on 27 Aug 1816. Suspect the J for her middle name, was for Johnston.
They had 6 known McBride children: John J., unknown date; Mary W., 25 Dec 1818, below; Robert M., abt 28 Jan 1821, below; Eliza Ann, 13 Jun 1823, below; Ann J., about 1826 (no further record); James Jackson, 24 Jan 1826, below.
In 1810, her father and John McBride lived close to each other.
Husband Isaiah died at age 53, leaving her a widow of 4 children between the ages of 4 and 12. She was age 31. She never remarried.
On the 1840 Lexington, VA census, I found Mrs. ANN J. McBRIDE, with 22 persons: White males: 1 10-14; 1 15-19; 1 20-29; white females: 1 10-14; 1 30-39 (Ann); 1 70 to 79; and sadly 16 slaves: 10 males and 6 females, that formerly were her husbands.
On the about Oct 1850 Rockbridge Co., VA census, I found Ann J. McBride, 47; farmer Robert M.McBride, 28; farmer James J. McBride, 23, with $20850 in real estate and (her motherless grandson) Zachariah McChesney, 5/12, all VA born. She is near her sister in law, the widow Frances McNutt McChesney and her family. "A. McBride" owned 8 slaves, 2 males and 6 females. Zachariah's mother Mary, died in Jan 1850.
On the 1860 Dist. 6, Rockbridge Co., VA census, I found head of household Ann J. McBride, 34 (sic), with $22,500 in real estate and $16,600 in personal property; farmer Jas Jackson McBride, 34; girls: Elizabeth Sweet, 12 and Therrussell Sweet, 10, all white and VA born. *Ann is his mother and the age is wrong, she did own their home.
Sadly, her son James was thrown from a horse and died May 30, 1872, only months before she died.
