Ann McComas* was born in 1690 in England to Daniel and Elizabeth McComas, who later migrated to America. She married William Amos in January 1713 in Joppa (now Joppatowne), Maryland. They had 6 sons and a daughter: Thomas Valentine, William (the Quaker), James, Benjamin, Joshua, Mordecai, and Rebecca Elizabeth.
Ann and her husband were members of the Anglican Church, and the births of their children are listed in the Register of St. John's and St. George's Parishes of Harford County, Maryland.
William Amos bought land in Harford County and built a home for his family. He named the place Mt. Soma (Amos spelled backward). The family and farm prospered. When William wrote his will in 1857, he made provision for his wife, Ann, to have the use of the house and home plantation throughout her life, with the house and land going to their son William after her death. Other holdings went to other sons.
William Amos, Sr., died on March 10, 1759, at the age of 69, and was buried on the farm in Fallston, Maryland. Ann died in 1764 and was buried beside him (this date taken from the book "Children of Mt. Soma" that chronicles the Amos family). When the homestead was sold out of the family 150 years later, in 1915, their remains--along with those of son William II (the Quaker), his two wives, and other family members--were moved to the Fallston cemetery (Little Falls Burial Ground) at the Friends Meeting House originally founded by William II. They were given proper engraved stones and laid to rest there together.
*Some trees show Ann's maiden name as Maulden, but most family researchers agree on McComas.

Excerpt from Will: "...Imprimis, I give and bequeath unto my dear and well beloved wife, Ann Amos, the use of my Dwelling Plantation during her natural life with the land thereunto belonging and also one negro girl named Feebe to her and her heirs and the use of all my negroes during her widowhood but in case she marries then my will is that my said wife have the one third part of my personal estate..."
