First wife of famed 19th-century "Stagecoach King" Ben Holladay, whom she married against her parents' wishes at the home of her great-uncle Andrew Johnson in Platte County, Missouri on 31 December 1839.

Ann Holladay died on the day her husband lost the bulk of his fortune in the Panic of 1873. Originally buried in a vault beneath her Gothic-style chapel on the grounds of their home (Ophir Farm) near Purchase, New York. In 1919 her remains and those of 3 of the Holladay children were removed and reinterred in a vault at St. Mary's Cemetery by the later owners of Ophir Hall, Whitelaw and Elizabeth Reid.
