Rev Eron M Sharp published in 1963 a book named "Pickens Families of the South". The book states that Anne Pickens was born April 12, 1770 and died March 30, 1846. He did extensive research on these families. The date on the tombstone appears to read March 20, 1846.

OBITUARY
Died at Pensacola, Fla. on the 20th ult., Mrs. Anna Pickens SIMPSON, born on the 12th of April in the year of our Lord, 1770. Her native place was Abbeville District, S.C.
She was the daughter of Gen. Andrew Pickens SIMPSON (should read "the daughter of Gen. Andrew Pickens"), so highly and deservedly celebrated as commander of the American forces, during our revolutionary struggle with Great Britain and the most distinguished hero in the Battle of the Cowpens. Her mother was Miss Rebecca CALHOUN, daughter of Ezekiel Calhoun, sister of John E. Calhoun, who died in Congress, and cousin of John C. Calhoun, present Senator from South Carolina.
After having been educated in her native state, she was married to John SIMPSON, her first and only husband, at the age of 22 years. With him she lived 45 years, and became the mother of seven children, two daughters and five sons, the youngest of whom died at the age of two years. The remainder still live.
