Ann married Lewis Pugh.[5] The couple made their home in Farnham Parish in Richmond County, Virginia on a branch of Totuskey Creek. This land was near land that had been purchased by Ann's apparent brother, Henry Webster. Lewis bought 50 acres on which they resided from John Branham in 1720.[6]

She stated her husband had received intelligence from his brother-in-law of North Wales indicating his father David Pugh had died leaving him an estate.
