Anne Hall was born in Chowan County, North Carolina in about 1755. The daughter of an Anglican missionary, Anne Hall enjoyed a quality education that other young women of her era were not always afforded. In 1774 she, along with her mother and sisters, signed a nonimportation agreement that later became known as the Edenton Tea Party Resolves. Later she married James Blount, an officer in the North Carolina Militia during the American Revolution and the couple had several children together. Possibly the oldest surviving signer of the resolves, she died on 19 April 1843 and was buried at Mulberry Hill, the Blount family plantation in Chowan County.
