Ann was the daughter of Jacob Fowler and Mary Jones. Her name has been listed as Ann, Anne, and Anna.

On Jan 6, 1737 in Salisbury, MA she married Richard Collins, son of Ephraim Collins Sr and Esther Shortridge.

Their children were Miriam, Mary, Jacob, Moses, Benjamin, Richard, Alice, Anna, Moses, Reuben, and Alice.

All the children were born in South Hampton, except Miriam & Mary who were born in Salisbury, MA. Miriam, Mary, Jacob, and Moses were all baptized on Dec 30, 1744 in South Hampton, NH. Moses had just been born Nov 5, 1744 and they apparently decided to catch up on the baptisms.

A death record can't be found for Ann. All we know is that her daughter Alice was born in 1760, so she died some time after that. Her husband died in 1793 but only a death index is available so we don't know if he was married or widowed.


Note:
Their first child, Miriam, was listed as born Mar 3, 1736-37 in the Salisbury, MA records. Considering her parents marriage date it is more likely she was born Mar 3, 1738.

Also, daughter Mary was born in 1739 (probably March 29th), but in the Sons of American Revolution applications her birthdate is listed as Dec 30, 1744 which was the date of the baptism for their first four children, and not her birthdate. This makes you wonder how the SAR didn't manage to catch that incorrect birthdate.
