Ann Herbert
Ann Moore was born Ann Harbut or Herbert on 16 November 1710 in Pennsylvania. Her Find a Grave memorial gives the place as Bucks County. According to an account by Friends of Gunpowder Monthly Meeting, her mother died shortly after her birth, and she was placed among Friends, as Quakers call themselves.
About 1737 she became the second wife of Walter Moore. The Haverford College catalogue entry for her journal says the couple had four children. Her memorial names Elisabeth, born 19 October 1738, who married John Colegate in 1760 and Charles Prosser on 26 October 1782 in Baltimore. It also names Rachel, born 17 May 1741, who married Mordecai Price III at Gunpowder Monthly Meeting on 27 December 1759, and Ann, later Ann Price, who lived from 1744 to 1785. Walter was later disowned by the Friends or resigned from them.
Ann was recognized as a minister in 1738. Quaker meetings recognized members whose spoken ministry they judged sound, and many such ministers travelled widely. She travelled throughout the British colonies in North America. On a voyage to Great Britain in 1760 and 1761, her ship was captured and taken to Spain. In 1778, during the Revolution, she travelled through Pennsylvania and New York across the military lines.
She kept a journal of her travels, which survives at Haverford College. Her memorial notes that it was published in Wilt Thou Go On My Errand?: Three 18th Century Journals of Quaker Women Ministers. Ann Moore died in Baltimore on 11 November 1783 and was buried in the Friends Cemetery there.
