Anne first married wealthy Archibald Jermain McClure after a whirlwind romance after Archibald fell in love with her picture in a magazine while traveling in the West. Coincidentally, she lived near Albany, NY, where McClure lived. He raced back to NY and courted her, beating out an Italian count who also raced there to woo her.

She was widely known in Albany, Long Island and Maine society and was a noted patroness of thoroughbred horse racing and breeding. She was owner of well-known winners Thanksgiving, Attention and Stand Pat. She and Corning had a daughter, Mary Parker Corning.
