Biography

Anna was born about 1736. She was the daughter of Rowland Tryon. She married James Slason (1736-1759) in 1754 and they had son James 1755-1761, daughter Prudence 1758-?, son Rowland 1759-1768, and daughter Mary 1759-1788. She passed away about 1761. Anna and James may have died early as children Mary and Rowland were assigned Rowland Tryon, father of Anna, as guardian in 1768 ^[1].
