The town of Singleton
The town of Singleton, where Anna's daughter Rosanna married John Radnidge in 1845 and lived their lives there, was named after Anna's brother, Benjamin Singleton.

In each of the years 1817, 1818, and 1820, Benjamin took part in three expeditions to discover a route from Windsor on the Hawkesbury River (40 miles or 65km north west of Sydney) through to the Hunter Valley in the north. The last expedition was successful, finding a route which became known as the Bulga Road. On 15 March 1820 the group reached the Hunter, and followed its course upstream and west to an area to be named St. Patrick’s Plain. The area was excellent for cultivation and equally so for grazing.

For Benjamin's part in this expedition he was granted 200 acres on 31 March 1821 at St. Patrick’s Plain as a reward for his share in this successful expedition. Part of his land became the site of the new town and in 1822 the town was renamed after Benjamin Singleton. Singleton today is located 130 miles (210 km) north of Sydney by road.
