Shippen was romanced by the French diplomat
Louis-Guillaume Otto, but her father decided that he would marry her to Colonel
Henry Beekman Livingston in 1781. He was the son of
Robert Livingston (1718–1775) and great-grandson of
Robert Livingston the Elder, 1st Lord of
Livingston Manor. She gave birth the same year to Margaret Beekman "Peggy" Livingston (1781–1864). The marriage was not a success and Anne returned to Shippen House where she started a journal in 1783. This is the reason that she is remembered as it gives an insight into her social life and later her thwarted attempts to obtain a divorce. She had to live with her parents and her daughter went to live with the estranged husband's mother. Shippen died in
Philadelphia in 1841 whilst living with her daughter. ==References==
