Ann Biddle Wilkinson
Ann Biddle (1742–1807) was married (November 12, 1778 in Philadelphia) to the eventual ranking officer of the U.S. Army, General James Wilkinson.[1]
She was also first cousin of Charles Biddle, an associate of Aaron Burr,[2] and Wilkinson's marriage to the dynamic Biddle only helped his career as a politician and general.[3][4]
She died February 23, 1807.[5][6] With James Wilkinson, she had four sons: John (1780–1796), James Biddle (c. 1783 – September 17, 1813),[7] Joseph Biddle (1789-1865),[8] and Walter (born 1791).
