First daughter of Susan and WIlliam Semple Ryland
Ann was one of the three single daughters that inherited the plantation home (Roseville) and 165 acres. Ann was the oldest of the three and has been referred to as a "steel magnolia". It is still said that "when the men folks left for war, "Miss Ann" could pitch hay as well as any man". She, without a doubt, ran the farm operation at Roseville for 50 years.
Ann was also a pillar of old Beulah Church near Aylett. She "was one of the most diligent teachers of Sunday school". She is best remembered for teaching the Young Men's Class where "her warrior-like leadership in the "battle for Christ" has made her immortal in the memories of Beulah Church". She also was a member of the Women's Missionary Society of Beulah Baptist Church.
Ann also inherited the "Lower Grist Mill" (later known as Mitchell's Mill) from her father and operated the mill for over 30 years before selling it in 1893 for $655.. She died and was buried at Roseville in February of 1913.
