Some previous genealogists placed Ann Parker's birth in France or England. As Ann's grandparents and great-grandparents immigrated from England to Virginia Colony, it seems more likely that she was born in VA. The name Parker is not French and is a very typical British name. In addition, Anne's mother and father were born and married in VA. It seems likely Robert and Anne were married in the Colony as there is no record of Ann's immigration voyage and the records above place their marriage location in Henrico County, VA.
With documentation above, it seems safe to state that Anne Warham Parker was born in VA. As usual, public documentation is often off on dates. According to the above and below, Anne was born 1657-1663. She was married 1679-1681.
Robert Easley, it seems, arrived in Virginia Colony around 1675/76. Robert's and Ann's first child, John Easley I (our direct ancestor), was born in about 1683 near Fine Creek, Henrico County (now Powhatan County).

Note: The document reflects that Robert Easley was the Primary Immigrant on his immigration voyage. If others were traveling with him, they would have been listed under the "Primary Immigrant". Therefore, it appears young Robert was a single man until he met Anne in the Colony.

Note: The two documents above list Robert's birth in England. It is understandable that his sailing from England would cause confusion regarding his actual birth location. There appears little doubt that his family was refugeed from France to England. However, until an actual proven birth record is found, some doubt remains about Roberts birth country.
