Birth	10 June 1627	In Montgomeryshire, Wales. Baptism. This makes sense to me but seems too early... "How do we know that this Samuel Griffith was born in Wigmore, Wales? I find no record of a baptism for Samuel Griffith anywhere in Herefordshire, where Wigmore lies. I did, however, find a Samuel Griffith baptized on June 10, 1627 in Montgomeryshire, Wales in the Montgomeryshire Parrish Records 1538-1912. Our Samuel Griffith named his plantation "Welshpoole" (Welch Pool, Welch Poole, Welsh Pool), and there's a town called Welshpool in Montgomeryshire, Wales. I have been using this information from Montgomeryshire and I'm hesitant to change it to Wigmore, Herefordshire. Can anyone provide proof that I have the wrong Samuel? in the comments on WikiTree¹

Anne Pottenger

F, #4373, b. about 1671, d. before February 1716

Ann was born about 1670 (based on approximate dates of marriage and birth of children). She died in Calvert County MD before 1716. [1] Her maiden name is the subject of much debate and discussion. See elsewhere. It was apparently NOT Hall, Mackall, or Deakens.

Ann married first Andrew Taneyhill, about 1687, with whom she had three children: John, Elizabeth, and Andrew. [2]

She married secondly John Short about 1697 and had one son with him: Benjamin Short. [3]

She married thirdly Clarke Skinner about 1709 and had a daughter with him: Ann Skinner.

The administration bond of Benjamin Short, administrator of Anne Tanyhill Short Skinner was dated 8 Feb. 1716; his surety was Richard Hall. An inventory of Ann's estate was taken 18 Feb. of the same year & signed by Eliz. Bowen [her daughter] as nearest of kin. It is apparent from the inventory that Anne was living with daughter Elizabeth Bowen as it listed items at the 'Whome House' as well as items 'At Nathaniel Bowens.' No account of Ann's estate has been located in the MD Prerogative Court records but in 1718, Benjamin Short was cited by the Court re: an account. Clarke Skinner, Ann's third husband died in 1714 & she was admx. of his estate; following her death in 1715/16, Benjamin Short completed the administration of Clarke Skinner's estate as well as administering Ann's estate.^1,2

Misc		Maiden name Pottenger - DNA. 10/19/2024 Scott and I together have 4 unique DNA matches to siblings of Anne Pottenger: Rachel and Verlinda. They also match with Mary Pottenger who might have been a Beall... Early Colonial Settlers think she is a "Hall" with father named James Mackall and wife Mary Graham. There are trees with these parents for the mysterious Anne. John Sr Pottenger 1660-1735 Elizabeth Magruder 1664-1734 https://gw.geneanet.org/1robertking?lang=en&pz=robert+neuman&nz=king&p=ann+tennehill+short&n=pottinger Early Colonial Settlers has her marrying Thomas Lamar and only Thomas Lamar https://www.colonial-settlers-md-va.us/getperson.php?personID=I1843&tree=Tree1 ___________________ This is from WikiTree The following is based on research conducted by Bob Ellis from July through 4 September 2020: Andrew Tannehill married a woman named Ann/Anne circa 1686. Her birth year is uncertain and her birth surname is not known. The couple had three children: John, Elizabeth, and Andrew. After her husband Andrew died in 1694, she married John Short, and had one son, Benjamin by him. John Short died in 1698, and she then married Clarke Skinner before 1709 and a daughter by him, Anne. According to sources available to me, she was thought to have been either Ann Hall or Anne Deakin/Deakins. I believe she was neither. Rationale: Why not Ann Hall: Some sources suggested she was Ann Hall because an Anne Tannehill was listed as an “overseer” in the 1687 will of Richard Hall. The only Anne Tannehill in Calvert County then was Andrew’s wife. It was speculated that she had some relationship to Richard and thus may have been Ann Hall. Richard Hall was the immigrant Hall, and his family was the only Hall family in Calvert County, Maryland at the time. He had no daughters named Ann, but he had a son Joseph who was born in 1665 and who married an Ann. Joseph died in 1705/06 and Ann Hall was his executrix. Furthermore, Joseph and Ann Hall are mentioned in court papers relating to John Short. Ann Hall was a witness to Short’s 27 June 1698 will and Joseph was one of those in the “List of debts” by the appraisers of Short’s estate. Note that in May 1697, the widow of Andrew Tannehill was known as “Anne Short (relic), wife of John Short” and was the Administratix of the estate of Andrew Tannehill. Note: Richard Hall was a prominent person in 17th Century Maryland. His importance to the Tannehill family is that he brought at least eleven immigrants to Maryland, one of whom was Ninian Beall and another was most likely William Tannehill. William was captured by Cromwell’s forces with Ninian at the Battle of Dunbar in 1650. William was sent as a prisoner to Ireland while Ninian was sent to Barbados. Hall bought the prisoner indenture of Ninian in 1653 and brought him to Maryland, which is about the same time as when William arrived. Both men brought family members to Maryland, and in 1696 Ninian’s niece married William’s oldest son. Why not Ann Deakins: Several sources report that Anne Deakins was born circa 1671 and was the daughter of John Deakins. Records do show that an Anne Deakins married an unknown Tannehill. There was a John Deakins and he had a daughter named Anne. However, John deakins did not marry until 1710. He had three daughters, Elizabeth, Anne, and Mary. Anne was born before 1723. Elizabeth married Robert Hooker, Mary married James Lucas, and Anne married the unnamed Tannehill. John Deakins died circa 1743, and 1744 court documents show that he listed his daughters by their married names, i.e., Elizabeth Hooker, Anne Tannyehill, and Mary Lucas. The Ann who married Andrew Tannehill and then remarried twice afterward, had died in 1715. The Tannehill to whom Anne was married may have been Thomas Tannehill who was born in 1729. The records I have seen do not list his wife’s name but does show he had children. -WikiTree¹
Misc		Who is she? Good DNA matches with a couple that makes it difficult... First when she was said to have been born compared to her supposed parents dates and second the two marriages before Spencer forces her birth back. I have read those marriages are may be dubious, confusions between people... Some have her born 1680. One could say she is sister of John rather than a daughter but how can that explain the DNA matches to both parents not just him? This has her dau of John Pottenger Sr, but that is a problem with the DNA matches: https://gw.geneanet.org/1robertking?n=pottinger&oc=&p=ann+tennehill+short
Misc		Marriages. She even may have had one more! Read the Early Colonial Settlers profile... And it does look like it is likely the same person. Which puts her birth date very early. Note, also messes up their theory of her maiaden name...
Misc		Conflation? Anne Skinner. Ann/Anne Mackall was not the wife of the immigrant Andrew Tanyhill, my gggggg grandfather; her given name was indeed Anne but after many years of research, Ann's surname remains unknown. The confusion over Anne probably arose due to the fact that there were three Anne Skinners extant during the early 1700s in Calvert County. There was 1) ANNE ( ) HOLLYDAY SKINNER, wife of Robert Skinner Sr. & mother of Clarke, Robert, Jr., Adderton, William Skinner, who died in 1714; 2) there was Anne ( ) TANYHILL SHORT SKINNER, the widow of Andrew Tanyhill & John Short & the wife of Clarke Skinner, who died around February 1715/16; and finally there was 3) ANNE MACKALL TANEY SKINNER [later BRUCE], the wife of Robert Skinner, Jr., (the brother of Clarke Skinner) who died 1712. The latter was the mother of Mary Taney whose will gave the names of her Skinner half siblings.³
Will	4 May 1713	.
