Person:Anne Hobbs (4)

Disambiguation

Anne Hobbs has been identified by some sources as the wife of Richard Branham, but this appears to be in error (there are overlapping children in both marriages).

   All of the land Thomas Meades owned on the north side of the Rappahannock River eventually came into the possession of Mary Meador, although how is not known. After Mary's death, the land she inherited went to her daughter, Anne Hobbs.
   
   Anne Hobbs was the daughter and only known child of Richard Hobbs and Mary Meadors, birth date unknown. She married Richard Green, a neighbor, by whom she had four daughters. When Richard died in 1705, Anne remained single for 10 years before marrying John Bramham. They had no children.
   
   In 1721 John Branham and his wife Anne sold 200 acres of land (that had originally belonged to Thomas Meads) to Samuel Godwin. (Richmond Deed Book 8, p. 55 - deed names Anne Barnham as the granddaugher of Thomas Meads)
   The next day the land was returned in another deed. In 1734, after Anne died, John sold the 200 acres to his step-son-in-law Benjamin Rust, and later confirmed title to Benjamin of another 100 acres once belonging to Thomas Meads and sold to Francis Gower.
   Anne died 27 December 1726 (Register of North Farnham Parish, Richmond, Virginia)
