Anna was the sixth of ten children born to Richard Goldsmith and Sarah Dix of Littleton and Harvard, Mass. She was married about 1792 to Asa Cole, the son of Abijah Cole and Sarah Kent. Anna had eleven children, then became widowed while most of them were young. She raised the large family as a single parent, then in 1838, long after Asa's death, she married Amory Pollard of Bolton, MA, whom she survived. Amory, b. Harvard, Mass. 8 Sep 1770, d. Bolton, Mass 28 Aug 1848, the son of Thaddeus Pollard and Submit Maynard, had several children with two previous wives, and appears on the federal censuses in Bolton from 1800 through 1840. In 1830 he is listed under "Emery" Pollard, and in 1840 under "Amery" Pollard. In 1850 Anna was widowed but still living in Bolton with two of her step-children. She died in Montpelier, VT while visiting her youngest daughter, Susan.

Note concerning Amory Pollard: there is a four-year discrepancy between his official death date in the Bolton records, 28 Aug 1848, and the death date on his tombstone, 6 Sep 1844.
