Anne Wythe Mallory was the second of five children born to Judge John Critcher and Elizabeth Thomasia Kennon Whiting on Thursday, 16 February 1860 at the family home known as "Audley" in Oak Grove, Westmoreland County, Virginia.
In her youth, she was described by family as something of a tom-boy in her early days, riding colts and climbing trees. She was considered to be a good rider and was very fond of that exercise. At "Audley" she lived the life a country girl, being educated with other children in the locale by an area governess until she went to a private school in Peterburg, Virginia. Her family life was rich with Virginia history and an ancestral legacy, being a member of the Colonial Dames, Daughters of the American Revolution and other notable societies and organizations.
Anne, called "Nannie" by her father and "Nancy" by her husband, married Dr James Duncan Gatewood, Surgeon of the United States Navy, on the 12th day of June 1883 at St John's Episcopal Church in Hampton, Virginia by her father-in-law, the Rev Robert Gatewood, DD.
Together Anne ("Nancy") and James Gatewood had three children, all daughters:
• Harriet Whiting Gatewood, known as "Hallie", was born on 30 October 1884 on lower Prince Street, Alexandria, Virginia. Her father, James Gatewood, was at sea at the time of her birth and did not see her until November 1886. In the Gatewood family history memoir her father wrote: "There are some things about the Navy for which money can never repay. When I received that cable at St. Vincent, Cape de Verde Islands, telling me of your birth just as the ship was about to disappear along the coasts of darkest Africa, I felt as one separated forever from mankind and pushed down into some dungeon for life. Yet that birth was a very fortunate event in your mother's life and in mine. You have been a dear loving child to us both – you, small enough to be regarded as the youngest of the three, have a way of your own to win the hearts of your old parents." Hallie married Henry Equilla "Harry" Jenkins on 07 October 1914 in Washington DC. He was a surgeon in the US Marine Corps. Hallie died 10 February 1975 in Danvers, Massachusetts and is buried with her husband in Arlington National Cemetery.
• Hildreth Gatewood was born on 27 August 1887 while staying with her mother's family (the Critcher's) in a brick house on Cameron Street, Alexandria, Virginia facing the north side of historic Christ Church where Washington had his pew. Her father, James Gatewood, wrote of her: "You were as beautiful a child as you are a woman with your dark hair and eyes and fine face. You have grown well and become a fine woman, intelligent and interesting and with high ideals. May you always be as thoroughly good and unselfish as your mother." Hildreth married Toy Savage, a lawyer, on 24 November 1915 in Washington, DC and spent the remainder of their lives in Norfolk, Virginia. Hildreth passed away on 01 July 1977 in Norfolk, Virginia and is buried with her husband Toy, at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Norfolk.
• Dorothy Duncan Gatewood was born on Thanksgiving morning, 27 November 1889 while Dr. Gatewood was stationed at the United States Naval Academy. Her father wrote of her in his memoir: "You were a child of the United States, not having been born under the jurisdiction of any state, but under the flag your father has served for thirty-one years…". James Gatewood further wrote of his daughter Dorothy: "Dorothy, you are a pretty good-sized piece of sunshine, being full of laughter and merriment and good heartedness. You are the life of us all with your sallies and amusing views of people and events. I shall never feel at home away from your good nature and spontaneous merriment, and every meal would be a disappointment without those little tunes you draw out of the piano when my cigar has been lighted. You are a dear loving little intelligent soul, quick witted and knowing how to make difficulties smoothe." Dorothy married Earl North, USMA 1909, on 28 October 1913 St. Margaret's Church, Washington, DC. She died on 25 January 1987 in Norfolk, Virginia and is buried with her husband, Colonel Earl North, in Arlington National Cemetery.
Anne "Nancy" and James Gatewood, along with their children left the Naval Academy in December 1889 to live with her parents, Judge John and Elizabeth (Whiting) Critcher, in Alexandria, Virginia when Dr. Gatewood became the medical officer of the "Dispatch", President Harrison's yacht. It was a welcomed assignment until in October 1891 the "Dispatch" was wrecked on Assateague Shoals.
After the wreck of the "Dispatch", Nancy Gatewood and her daughters remained living in the home of her parents at 109-111 North Alfred Street, in Alexandria, Virginia while Dr. Gatewood served on a number of Naval vessels, until the spring of 1900 when Navy orders returned him to Washington as Assistant to the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery in Washington, in conjunction with duty as instructor at the Naval Medical School. In July 1909 Dr. Gatewood went to sea for the last time aboard the armored cruiser Tennessee as surgeon of the Pacific fleet, while Nancy Gatewood seamlessly, once again, took on responsibility of home and children.
Nancy Gatewood's life mirrors that of all military service wives, and because of that this memorial reflects only a minor taste of her married life and of the significant travels all over the world that she was a part of until her husband's final assignment in November 1910 as President of the Naval Medical Examining Boards. That assignment allowed their final years together to be stationary ones, living at 1708 Q Street, NW, Washington, DC. Dr. Gatewood died on 27 February 1924, and Nancy passed on that same year, on 19 August 1924, at the home of her eldest daughter, Hallie (Gatewood) Jenkins.
Anne Wythe Mallory (Critcher) Gatewood, is buried with her husband, Commodore James Duncan Gatewood, MD, USN in Arlington National Cemetery.
