Owner Comments:
Anna Harrison would be known as the only First Lady who was still alive during her husband’s tenure as President, but to have never actually lived in the White House with him. She would, however, be the first wife of a President to actually have received extensive formal education. Her life was spent mostly in the frontier of the growing United States of America, and would be centered on family and church.
The birth of Anna on the 25th of July, 1775 to Anna Tuthill Symmes and John Cleeves Symmes would be a tragic one, as her mother would die as a result of complications from it.
