Short Biography
Anna Haining Bates, born Anna Haining Swan (August 6, 1846 – August 5, 1888), was a Canadian from Mill Brook, New Annan (near present-day Tatamagouche), Colchester County, Nova Scotia, famed for her great height, believed to be 2.43 m (7' 11½") at the peak of her stature. Her parents were of average height and were Scottish immigrants. Some have argued that Anna was 7' 6" but it is known from pictures and both families, i.e. Swan and Bates, that she was a few inches taller than her husband Martin Van Buren Bates who was 7' 9"; she did not wear heeled shoes in photos with Martin because he was not fond of the fact she was taller.
