Anna Maria was die dogter van Philip Jacobus Nel en Christina Helena Gouws.
Uit hulle pa se sterfkennis van 1876:
Mej. Nel het met Mnr. Philip Lotter van die plaas Doornkloof naby Middelrus getrou. In die vroeë deel van hulle getroude lewe, het hulle maar swaar gekry en het sy vertel hoe sy vir 'n geruime tyd ander mense se wasgoed moes doen om geld te kry om haar eie seep te koop. Deur baie spaarsamig te lewe en onder andere suksesvol met beeste te boer, het dit nie vir hulle lank geneem om hulle eie finansieële posisie aansienlik te verbeter nie. (Anita Campbell)
His assets are given as 6 farms in the Weenen
