anne taney
Anne Taney (1783-1855) was Francis’ younger sister with the long maiden name of Anne Arnold Phoebe Charlton Key. In 1806 she married Roger Taney, who was Francis’ friend from law school. Though the Key family was Episcopalian, Roger was Catholic, and a compromise was made over how their children would be baptized: any girls would be Episcopalian and any boys would be Catholic. The Taneys ended up an Episcopalian family in the end, with six daughters and only one son, who died in infancy.
