Anne Sophia Penn Chew (1805-1892), the youngest surviving daughter of Benjamin Chew Jr., lived at Cliveden for most of her life, and was an important figure in the history of the family estate. Anne was a devoted daughter, caring for her parents in their later years, and then becoming the caretaker of the Cliveden property after her mother's death in 1855. During the bitter family dispute surrounding her father's estate administration, Anne moved out of Cliveden, along with her brother William. The rights to Cliveden originally rested with her mother, Katherine Banning Chew, but Benjamin III soon created discord when he tried to deny other family members access to their father's papers and made efforts to disinherit his siblings. During this dispute, Benjamin III removed some of the family's furnishings and papers from the house. After he left Cliveden, Anne returned and began to maintain the property on her own, eventually welcoming her nephew Samuel, his wife Mary, and their children to the residence.
