According to the history of Bradford, Vt, Anna is said to have been left without a mother "at an early age." She came to Bradford when she was 16 years old as a companion for the wife of a Mr. Norcross. Mrs. Norcross became homesick and left her husband, at which time Mr. Norcross asked Anna to remain and "keep house." "No, sir, I will see you in the bottomless pit first!" she reportedly replied. She was taken into the family of Esquire Peters, "where young Richard Aldrich found her and easily persuaded her to become his wife."

Mother of Almira (Aldrich) Haseltine, Lydia (Aldrich) (Rogers) Bolton, Sally Aldrich, William Aldrich, Richard R. Aldrich, Edwin R. Aldrich, Eliza (Aldrich) Brown, Smith Aldrich, John D. Aldrich, and Levi M. Aldrich.

Daughter of Levi Maynard, whose gravestone has not been found.
