Ann Shipley (1760-1854), was born in London in 1760, the daughter of Joseph and Hannah Shipley. She immigrated to the United States in 1794, and was a recorded minister in New York Yearly Meeting. Anna Shipley married Morris Shipley and the couple had four children: William Shipley (b. 1779), Mary Shipley (b. 1783), Morris S. Shipley (b. 1784), and Hannah Shipley (b. 1792).

She accompanied Anna Braithwaite on her two interviews with Elias Hicks in January and March, 1824, and wrote a letter, dated October 15, 1824, defending Anna Braithwaite's account of the meeting.

This collection is comprised of the single handwritten diary of Ann Shipley. Entries detail her travels throughout Pennsylvania, including visits with Friends and attendance at Quaker meetings.
