Anne Eppes was the daughter of Edward Eppes and Mary Anderson. The birth of Anne Eppes is recorded in the Albemarle Parish Register of Surry and Sussex County, Virginia. She was born on 09/15/1743 and was christened on 01/08/1743/4 with godparents Richard Avery, Arthur, Freeman, and Eliza Bell.
Anne married Thomas Gibbons, eldest son of John Gibbons of York County, Virginia. Thomas Gibbons is on the DAR Patriot's Roll, a soldier from North Carolina. She lived with her husband in Sussex County from 1762 to 1774. Where they resided throughout the period of the American Revolution is not known but likely western North Carolina.
By the early 1780's they were in Hawkisn County. In 1787 the first court of Hawkins County, North Carolina (later Tennessee) was held in his home. Here the family resided until the death of Thomas Gibbons in 1809.
Anne is not mentioned in the will of her husband, it is therefore presumed that she predeceased him.
