Anna Summey was the daughter of Frederick Summey and Blandena Whitener. After her father died Anna received 240 acres of land, valued at $230, when his land was divided in November 1803. She married Solomon Hoyle Jan. 14, 1814 in Lincoln Co. Fifteen years and six children later she filed for divorce April 23, 1829. In the divorce petition she stated that he had left her three years ago and she hadn't heard from him in 18 months when he was 900 miles away. At that time he informed her that he had no intention of ever returning to her. She believed this and that he would not provide for their children. She said that by his desertion he had left her to support the family by the charity of her friends and her own personal industry. She further stated that Solomon Hoyle left some property in the county and nearly all of it had been seized and disposed of for the satisfaction and payment of those debts which he left unpaid, leaving her to support the children. The court granted the divorce.

Anna later married Daniel D. Whitener, the son of Daniel Whitener and Mary Wilfong. He died in December 1859, and Anna died in the fall of 1867. Daniel's niece's husband, Eli S. Rhyne, was appointed administrator of Anna's estate in November 1867. She was buried in the Weidner-Robinson cemetery with Daniel.
