Ann (Rankin) Nebinger was born in York, Pennsylvania (uncertain), the daughter of James Rankin and Rebecca Bennett. Ann is buried with her husband, George Nebinger, a Revolutionary War veteran (Pvt., 8 En, York Co. Militia, PA Troops); and her mother, Rebecca, who died in 1773, at Newberry Friends Burying Ground, Newberrytown, Pennsylvania, which implies that they were Quakers. Ann’s father, James Rankin, Esquire served as a Representative in the Assembly of Pennsylvania. After Ann’s mother’s death, and (before? or) after the American Revolution, Ann’s father went to live in England with his second wife, and died there in 1803. Two of Ann and George’s children, Mary (Nebinger) Lewis, 1779-1830; and Dr. Robert Nebinger, 1796-1867, are buried elsewhere. ^[6]

Ann’s family were Quakers. Her husband was a Patriot. Her father was a Loyalist, and fled to England prior to the American Revolution. Please see his Wikitree profile for more information on James Rankin, Esq.
