In the 1810 US Census, her husband William Golden is listed in Westchester, Westchester County, New York, and presumably, she is the female over the age of 45 noted on the census as well. There is one boy between the age of 10 and 15; three girls under the age of 10; one girl between the age of 10 and 15; one girl between the age of 16 and 25. Also listed within a few entries of William Golden are other Golden families (presumably sons): Isiah Golden, notated as 26-45 years old and Simmonds Golden, notated as 16-26 years old.[2]
In the 1820 US Census for Westchester, a “Mrs. Golden” is listed, and in addition to herself, a male over the age of 45 years is marked as living in the household. This is probably son living in the home with her, as if it was her husband, the household would have been enumerated under his name. Some of the same neighbors as in the 1810 Census are enumerated on the same page as her, including the Bathgate, Hunt and Leggett. In addition, the several Ward households are also enumerated nearby, which is the family her grandson Isaiah married into in 1809.[3]
Annie died in September 1850 in West Farms, New York at the age of 101. Her cause of death was listed as “Old Age”.[4]
