Anne Jane Hadden (whose name is found sometimes as Anne, sometimes Jane, and nicknamed Nancy) was the daughter of Joseph Hadden and Hanna Armstrong of Ballygawley and Goland, Carnteel parish, County Tyrone, Ireland, who married in 1793 at Carland Presbyterian Church in County Tyrone. Anne was probably born in 1794; her brother, David Hadden (born in 1809), wrote in 1866 that his sister "Nancy" or Anne was the eldest daughter in the Hadden family. The Haddens lived at Goland townland for generations, where a family home called "Lough Park" was built in the early 1800s. They also lived, for a time, in the village of Ballygawley, a few miles west of Goland. Their daughter Anne may have been born at either location.

Anne Hadden married William Calvin (a surname often seen as "Colvin") on January 20, 1816 at Aughnacloy/Ballygawley Presbyterian Church in County Tyrone. Anne's residence at the time of their marriage was Goland. William's residences were Crievelay and Cravany -- the two townlands in Co. Monaghan and Co. Tyrone where his Calvins lived.

Anne and William Calvin lived at the family farm at Creevelea in Clones parish, County Monaghan, where his parents and grandparents had lived. They were staunch members of Stonebridge Presbyterian Church, where William served as an elder. The names of 11 of their 12 identified children are known, but an unnamed daughter was born and baptised in 1837 whose name (if she lived long enough to be given a name) isn't known.

When her husband William died in 1861, as described in family letters, Anne remained on the Creevelea farm. Most of their children who survived to adulthood had emigrated to faraway locations -- Ontario, the United States, Australia, England. Only a daughter, Matilda, and a son, John, remained in County Monaghan. Matilda Calvin married a neighbor, John Allen of Corduff/Cordough in Aghabog parish, in 1853, and moved there to live the rest of her life. John Calvin married Anne Boyd of Kilcrow in Clontibret parish in 1865, and brought his wife back to Creevelea to live and raise their children. John took care of the family farm and his widowed mother until her death a few years later in 1869, then farmed on his own until his death in 1893. His widow, Anne Boyd Calvin, died in 1902.

Anne Hadden Calvin's civil registration death record shows that she was age 80 at her death on 24th January 1869, making her birth year 1788-1789. However, her parents married in 1793, and the death record informant wasn't a family member, so Anne must have been born about 1794. The neighbor who told the registrar about Anne's death was recorded as: "Jane Maxwill (hr mark X), present at death, Crivlay."
