Ann moved from New York to Illinois with her parents and siblings in 1839. Her father, Robert N. Tate, was an early partner of John Deere and was involved in constructing and operating their first plow factory in Moline, Illinois.

On January 9, 1862, Ann traveled from her home in Moline, Ill., to New York to depart by ship to Panama, continuing by train to the Pacific, then boarding another ship to San Francisco and then northward to her half-brother William McDonnell's home in Knights Valley, Sonoma Co., CA (near Calistoga, Napa Co., CA), arriving approximately Jan. 27, 1862. Ann departed her home in Moline, Ill. a couple of weeks before her father's remarriage to Margaret Howard.

Ann's headstone at Los Gatos Memorial Park was visible in the 1990s, when the photo shown on this memorial was taken. Since then, the grass has overtaken it and cemetery workers were unable to locate it. Its general location, as per cemetery records, is depicted in the photo.
