No Anderton listed in the index. There is a chapter in the book for the Alabama Conference, M.E. Church, South, 1933-1939, and I did not notice an Anderton there. I am very familiar with the Anderton surname. Aquila Blakley, the old RS who died in Blount Co., probably at or near his home near present day Allgood, had a daughter, Ruth Blakley, who married John Anderton in 1813 in Grainger Co. TN. They later moved to Blount Co. before 1820, and Aquila was living with them when he died. I have found no connection between my Blakleys and Aquila, even though they apparently lived as near neighbors until Aquila's death in 1838. John Anderton was the son of James Anderton and Margaret Morris. My John Blakley, b. 1762, SC, who d. in Blount Co. in 1852, donated an acre of his land located in Sec. 15, Township 13, Range 1E, to the Presbyterian Church. I think there was a cemetery located beside the church, NFI. Charles Blakley Texas Terry Jackson wrote: > Dean, > Charles has the book.
