Daughter of Thomas & Mary Mercer of Westtown, Chester Co. PA.
Born in 1688 in Pennsylvania per US and International Marriage Records.
Wife of Joshua Peirce. They married/intention on 08 mon/Oct 12/1713 in Delaware County (county was formed in 1789 from Chester County), PA within the Concord MM.
It is assumed she passed before 1722, as Joshua remarried Rachel Gilpin on 09/15/1722.

Due to so many possible records/spellings (Pearce, Pierce/Peirce) for her that are all over the place or for different Anna's, until clarification, only adding what I can prove with records.
PLEASE SEE NOTE SECTION BELOW

Surname can also be found spelled "Pierce" as in original record. Contributor Loraine Lucas # 48176490 shared:
