Ann Maria Davison was born on April 2, 1783, probably in New Jersey. She apparently lived in New Jersey for several years and then in New Orleans for at least forty years. She frequently visited her daughter, Mattie Hennen (Ann Maria Davison Hennen), and son-in-law, Alfred, on their plantation outside New Orleans and also traveled frequently to the east coast.
