Anne passed away in 1699 and was buried in Christ Church Cemetery, Middlesex, Virginia (other contributors give the date as 1697). She is mentioned in her husband's will, and around 1699 Anne petitioned the Court, asking friends Richard Allen and Richard Shurley (sic) "to act and do" for her seven children "for their advantage."
