[1] Ann Head was born into a Quaker family in Ipswich, England in 1758.
In 1779 she married John Warder (1751–1828), a wealthy Philadelphia-born merchant.
After a decade of married life in England, the family moved to North America, settling permanently in Philadelphia in 1788.
Extracts from Warder's journal were posthumously published in the Pennsylvania Magazine and Biography.
Her papers, including letters and journals, are held by the Historical Society of Pennsylvania.
