Likely named after her mother, Ann Watts; her birth is recorded in the Christ Church Parish register.
11/17/1746: “William Daniel….17 Nov 1746 / 3 Feb 1746…. Son in law Robert Daniel. Daughter Lucy Daniel. Son Josiah Daniel my plantation….that part of Mr. Watt’s land that came by his mother. Daughter Agatha Daniel the land I bought of Eusebius Lewis. Land whereon old John Jones lives. Daughters Sarah Daniel, Rachel Daniel, Ann Daniel and Frances Daniel. (All under age 18). Brothers Richard Daniel, Edward Bristow and James Cole. Sister Jochebed Jefferson. Exors: Sons Josiah Daniel and Robert Daniel and my wife Ann Daniel. Wit: Henry Thacker, John Strachey, Judith Wortham and Anne Smith.”
NOTE: Jochebed Jefferson is the ONLY Jefferson in the entire Middlesex Co., Virginia Wills, etc. book.
NOTE: The John Strachey who witnessed William Daniel’s 1746 will may have been a descendant of Mary Miller b- c. 1640 (daughter of James Miller, Sr. & Mary Trotman) and William Strachey VI.
The William Daniel who died about 1746 likely is Captain William Daniel-2427 (1708 - 11/28/1746 Middlesex Co., VA) who was the grandson of William Daniel (c. 1640 England; c. 1698 Middlesex Co., VA) & Jocabed Smith. This explains why he has a sister named “Jochebed” Daniel who married a Mr. Jefferson.
11/17/1746: NOTE: From the same source below in a William Daniel's will (DANIEL'S family were KNOWN URBANNA, Virginia MERCHANTS) William Daniel notes a Jochebed Jefferson as his sister, Jochebed Daniel. So this likely indicates that her daughter (also a Jochebed Jefferson) was who married Benjamin Rhodes. This would tie Benjamin Rhodes to the MERCHANT DANIEL'S family
