Biography

Ann was born circa 1763 in Scotland, per the 1850 census.^[1] However, a family history done by Florence Dolph says she was from Connecticut, but it appears that she was actually born in Gallatin, Columbia County, New York. (Gallatin was formerly known as Livingstone and was later renamed Ancram). Her name is listed also in some places as McCarty. She passed away in 1854.^[2] According to a family source, Anna and other Dolph family members were originally buried at the Dolph Burial Ground in Dunmore, Penna.,, but later moved to the Dunmore Cemetery.
