Anna was born in Westmoreland Co., PA (source: McCartney family bible; and Anna's obituary in Wilton Review, Wilton, IA October 19, 1892). The McCartney family bible lists Anna's year of birth as 1812, whereas her obituary and gravestone list it as 1814. It is more probable that she was born in 1814 as this matches her age as listed in latter census records. Anna married Robert B. Duncan December 7, 1830. Anna and Robert's ten children were: unknown son born 1830-1835; Thomas Buchanan born Nov. 1, 1833 in Richland Co., OH married Mary Magdalene McClain November 2, 1854 by J.

Duncan and their children living beside Anna's mother Lydia McCartney and four of Anna's siblings. Anna and her husband moved to Cedar Co., IA in 1852.
