Birth

Birth Date: 1696

Birth Place: Williamsburg, Independent Cities, Virginia, United States^[2]

Note 1: There are two Anne Dandridge Redds: There was Anne Dandridge (1695- 1740) who married George Redd and her daughter Anne Dandridge Redd (1718- 1800) who married Samuel Dalton

Note 2: To make this more confusing, there were multiple Anne Dandridge: One was Ann (LNAB unknown) Dandridge (1644) who married John Dandridge. They had 3 daughters named Anne Dandridge: Ann Dandridge (1689 - bef 1696); Ann Dandridge (abt 1695); Ann Dandridge (1695-1740). Need to verify that the last two Anne are not duplicates.

There has been much speculation on the relationship of Ann Dandridge Redd, Wife of old Samuel Dalton, and Martha Dandridge, wife of George Washington. I have even seen where someone claimed Ann's mother was Martha's sister. Until the article below I have never seen the exact relationship between the two women. If we read this correctly then Ann Dandridge Redd's great grandfather, William Dandridge was the brother of John Dandridge, Martha Dandridge Custis Washington's father. The following information comes from "Old King William Homes and Families," An Account of Some of the Old Homesteads and Families of King William County, Virginia, from its Earliest Settlement, by Peyton Neale Clarke, Regional Publishing Company, Baltimore, 1964. p. 39-40.

"Colonel William Dandridge, of "Elsing Green," and Colonel John Dandridge, of New Kent, were probably brothers. They settled on opposite sides of the Pamunkey River, and they bore the same arms as the Dandridges of Great Malvern, Worcestershire, England.

"Colonel William Dandridge built a wharf at Hampton in 1717. He married Euphan, probably the daughter of James Wallace, and widow of Wilson Roscoe. He moved to King William County prior to 1719 (and his wife being dead), and married Unity, daughter of Colonel Nathaniel West. He was a member of the Council in 1727, and subsequently received a Commission in the Royal Navy, and commanded the "South Sea" and participated in the attack on St. Augustine and the siege of Carthagena. He died in 1743.

Of his children:

1. Captain Nathaniel West Dandridge married Dorothea, daughter of Governor Alexander Spotswood;
2. William married Agnes daughter of Colonel Francis West;
3. Martha married Philip Aylett, of Fairfield, and
4. Mary married John Spotswood.

"Colonel John Dandridge was doubtless a younger brother of Colonel William Dandridge. He married, July 22, 1730, Frances, daughter of Orlando Jones, Burgess from King William County, and had numerous children, among them Martha, who was born June 21, 1731, and married, first, 1749, Colonel Daniel Parke Custis, and after his death married, second, January 6, 1759, Colonel George Washington."^[3]
