Biography

Anna was born in 1790, the daughter of John Gilbert and Millicent Goodrich. She married Harrison Holland, originally of Petersham, in 1810 at Belchertown, where their children -- including the writer Josiah Gilbert Holland -- were later born.^[1] Note: Her obituary in Hartford states she was married in New Britain.

Anna may have been named in honor of a sister of her father John Gilbert who, according to a family record (see below), "died in infancy".

She died on 31 May 1867 in Northampton, Massachusetts.^[2][3][4]
