Ann Warner

Ann Warner was likely born on November 19, 1767, in Philadelphia. Her maiden name was Roberts and she married a man named William Warner in 1790.¹ 

Warner appears several times in George Washington’s household records at the President’s House in Philadelphia. She was hired for short-term work and first appeared in April 1794 earning $.50 for “a days washing,” suggesting that she assisted with laundry. She appears again the following month with a woman named Eliza Pister. The pair earned $7.00 combined for “work done in the house.” She appears one more time in June, this time earning $3.50 for “7 days work.”²

Ann Warner died on October 16, 1842 and was buried at Merion Friends Burial Ground in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.³
