Ann Branch was the daughter of Henry Branch (1694-1748) and his wife, Amy. She married William Giles, of Amelia County, Virginia and was the mother of Governor William Branch Giles of Virginia.
Ann (Branch) Giles was named in the will of her husband and was bequeathed a life estate in a sizable tract of land on which they had lived as a married couple. William Giles, of Amelia County, Virginia, left a will dated 28 Feb 1793, with a codicil dated 31 Aug 1794, and probated 25 Sep 1794 in Amelia County (Amelia County, Virginia Wills with Inventories & Accounts 1793-1799, pages 107-109). We therefore know Ann (Branch) Giles was alive on 28 Feb 1793, the date the will was made and signed by her husband, William Giles.
William Giles also made the following bequest: "I lend unto my beloved wife Ann Giles during her life all my Estate of what Nature or kind soever not already disposed of consisting of Negroes, Stocks of all sorts, Plantation utensils, Crops of corn, wheat, and tobacco, and every other thing I may die possessed of for her support..."
Still further, he stipulated: "...my will further is that my wife during her life have full power to give to either of my children any part of my stock or furniture as she may think they stand in need of and my will is that my Estate be not appraised nor Inventoried."
The will shows that William Giles placed a good deal of confidence in his wife.
Ann (Branch) Giles and her husband, William Giles, had the following children, all named in the will of William Giles:
William Branch Giles
Elizabeth (Giles) Booker
Mary (Giles) Jones
Amey (Giles) Moseley
Patty Giles
Ann (Branch) Giles' husband, William Giles, was a resident of Amelia County, Virginia and should not be confused with another William Giles who settled in Rowan County, North Carolina.
The two separate individuals named William Giles (one who died in Amelia County, Virginia and one who died in Rowan Co., NC) have been conflated by some researchers, but they were not the same individual, as proven by the existence of two separate wills. See the Find A Grave memorial of William Giles (1730-1794) for more information.
