Warder, Ann Head, 1758-1829

The George Vaux Papers center on the family and business concerns of the surgeon, George Vaux V (1721-1803), and his lineal descedants, George Vaux VII, and George Vaux VIII (1832-1915). Many of the Vauxes, Quakers, were involved in charitable and reform activities, including anti-slavery, poor relief, and Indian missions. Other, related families represented in the collection are the Warders, Sansoms, Heads, Graffs, Morrises, Cressons, and Mayberrys.

Ann Head, the daughter of John Head and Ann Wheeler, was born in Ipswich, England, in 1758. In 1779 she married John Warder, a wealthy Philadelphia-born merchant who moved to London in 1776 to secure his family's business during the American Revolution. After nearly a decade of marriage in England, where four of their children were born, the Warders made Philadelphia their permanent home in 1788. They had a total of ten children, seven of whom lived until adulthood. Ann Head Warder never returned to England after the family's move; she died in Philadelphia in 1829.
