Ann was apparently old enough [over 14 or born before 1763] to witness a deed along with Richmond and Sarah Pearson in 1777. She is named in the will of her father Joseph Haden as Ann Wyatt - that was in 1802.

She is said to have married a Francis Wyatt. He is shown in various databases as married to a Nancy Ann Haden [Nancy being the common nickname for Ann, this double name isn't likely], an Elizabeth Hayden, and to Fanny [Frances] Austin in 1799 in Caroline Co VA. A man named Francis Wyatt in Caroline Co did marry Fanny Austin and she later filed for his Revolutionary pension - he died in 1803 and both of their children were also dead when she made application. I believe the marriage of Francis Wyatt to "Elizabeth" arose when the child Elizabeth who had been baptized in Goochland Co VA, failed to appear in her father's will. There is no record of a baptism for Ann and yet she is in the will; she may have been born prior to Rev. Douglas's records. Probably Elizabeth died as a child - she wasn't old enough to marry Francis Wyatt in the mid 1770's when he's supposed to have married Ann Haden, but then I don't believe Ann and Francis Wyatt married quite that early either.

The Francis Wyatt who did marry Ann Haden is said to have died in Montgomery Co KY in 1824, leaving a will that named several children. Some of them later went on to Missouri. Names of his children include William, Douglas, Joseph, Anthony, Haden - all names that would indicate a kinship. The Wyatt researchers give the death of Ann/Nancy Haden Wyatt as about 1820 in Montgomery Co KY. Various census/marriage records indicate the children of Francis and Ann were born from about 1780 - 1805 so the couple likely didn't marry until after 1777 when Anney Haden witnessed a deed for her father.
