Ann's name is recorded on numerous occasions as "Ann" not "Anne" and there is no documentation that states she had a middle name, which for that time and era was uncommon to have one. Middle names were used heavily by the Scottish as multiple uses of first names were common, such as John Duncan, John Angus, etc.....This was NOT a common practice among the English. Middle names did not become prominent until the mid 1800's.

John & Anne moved to Newbury from Ipswich after his father's death, later to Haverhill where he was the second blacksmith in the town. He moved back to Newbury later, which is where he probably died. He and his wife were married for 63 years.
