Biography

Anne was born in Bradford (in the area later, in 1726, to become known as East Bradford, then in 1850 as Groveland) in 1678^[1], the third of Joseph Bailey and Abigail Trumble's eight children. She was almost certainly named after her grandmother Ann Trumbull (then Ann Swan), who had passed away just two months before Anne's birth. Anne's only living grandparent was Edna Northend.

On 10 Sept 1702, Anne married Jonas Platts, son of Jonathan Platts and Elizabeth Johnson, and their near-neighbour in (East) Bradford.^[2][3] They made their home in East Bradford, just two lots east of her father's home. ^[4] Anne and Jonas had seven children born between 1704 and 1721, all recorded in Bradford:^[5]
