Very little is known about this child, but it is believed that Anne was the eldest child of Mary Carroll and Richard Caton, and the eldest grandchild of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, a Signer of the Declaration of Independence. She died as an infant, and was buried on the family's estate known as "Brooklandwood" in Green Spring Valley (the home is now occupied by "St. Paul's School"). She was the eldest sister of the famous "Three American Graces" (three daughters of Richard and Mary Caton (Marianne, Elizabeth and Louisa) who married into European nobility) and the youngest daughter, Emily Caton MacTavish. I could find no record for Anne other than a description of her grave in Beulah Marie Dix's 1919 essay about Mary Carroll Caton in Harper's Bazaar's magazine entitled "The One Who Stayed." In addition, there is well known folklore of a "child ghost" that still inhabits St. Paul's School, which is believed to be Annie.
