Larry, Go to the following website in rootsweb. I cannot guarantee that is correct, but I know much of it is...the Andersons, Jenkins and Hollands are in my direct ancestry and were in Marengo Co. before migrating to Panola Co. Kerry Moore. http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:a10214&id=I0395 Good Luck!

Thought this was such a clever idea I jumped right in forgetting it was a Anderson list. I would like to invite C.R. Anderson who lived in Dubuque, IA in 1880 and ask just where is your family? I have a list of your siblings. My and your Charles being one of them.

What an interesting question!!! No doubt about it, I would invite my great-grandmother, Ann T. Anderson, who appears with a mother and no other documentation in Williams ?County, TX, sometime prior to 1860. Somehow I have "identified" with this ancestor since childhood, although I know very little about her. So I would ask her: Did you and your mom really make he journey to Texas from Kentucky alone? Where in Kentucky? There is no record of you two anywhere that I can find. How did you cope with two babies on that little farm after your first husband, William Bennett, went to war? Were you frightened when there Indian raids all around you? And after your father in law came and took you to Limestone County, TX, before the war was over, how did you feel? Did you really love Thomas Sharp when he limped home after the surrender, or did you marry him for someone to take care of you? Sure, I would like names and dates about her parents and her grandparents, etc. But I really would like to know about her. I was named for her -- my name is pronounced in two syllables. love Joan

I would like to invite my Great Great Grandparents Joshua W. Cherry b. 20 May 1823 d. 1 Oct 1868 and Sarah Sallie Anderson b. 30 May 1828 d. 22 Oct 1903. Both born in Marengo County, Alabama and both died in Panola County, Texas. I would like to talk about their ancestors, siblings, children and related families and the places that they lived.

I'd invite my allusive ancestor, John Anderson, who lived in CharlesTown, WVA, during the late 1790's and early 1800's and ask him who his wife was, who his parents were, where he came from before going to WVA, and where and when he died. Susan in Milwaukee

WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THANKSGIVING WITH MY GGGGRANDPA JOHN ANDERSON HE FOUGHT IN THE REVOLUTIONARY WAS HIS NAME IS ON A PLACK ON THE WILLIAMSBURG,KENTUCKY COURT HOUSE.WOULD ASK ABOUT HIS ANCESTORS AND HIS CHILDREN.

I would invite my grandmother Sarah Ellen HENZE ANDERSON and ask about her father and his lineage as well as what her life was like. She died in 1915. I would also invite my great-great-grandfather John ANDERSON who lived in England, was a surgeon, and died at the age of 94 in 1906. Of him I would ask who his mother was, and where his wife Martha PIKE was from. I would also like to ask him about life in England during his life. Madelyn A. Roy

Hi All and Happy Thanksgiving..... I would invite my brick wall....my greatgrandfather, Martin Anderson. My question: "Grandpa, where in the heck were you born, who were your parents.......and why did you die so young." The LDS and 1850 census records show he was born in NC in 1824, but I can not find him. He died soon after the census. He married and raised his family in Greene County Indiana.

Hello Terry, I am writing to see if your lineage is African American? I am researching my lineage which included MILLERs and ANDERSONs. My grgr grandparents were: William ANDERSON who married Myra MILLER and Myra is thought to have been White. Thank you, Terri Cross Mableton, GA A Happy Hunter

I would invite Elizabeth ANDERSON b, abt 1784 in North Carolina, d. 1855 in Indiana. She married John CLARK abt 1816, and they had 7 children. I would ask her when her exact birth date was, who her mother was, and where her and her father, James ANDERSON came from. They were 4th G Grandparents. Lola

I'm sorry. It would have been fun to find someone tracing the same ancestors. Sarah Jane Miller comes from a long line originally from Germany. I don't have any information on John Hayward Anderson but the census says "white". Thanks for writing. Terry David & Terry

Edna, My Andersons were also from Randolph County, IL. David and James Anderson arrived there in 1804 coming from Abbeville, SC. I have my line traced back to a David Anderson who I believe is a son of the James that arrived in 1804. There is an 1859 history of Randolph County that mentions a Joseph Anderson that arrived there with Clark in 1780. Is this the Joseph Anderson you were referring to?

Hello List, I have been reading the various responses regarding the Thanksgiving Dinner questions and would like for anyone researching African American ANDERSONs to please email me off list at the following email address because I am researching my grgr grandfather, William ANDERSON and I would love to exchange information: _Terrilcg@aol.com_ (mailto:Terrilcg@aol.com) Rich blessings, Terri Cross Mableton, GA A Happy Hunter

I would ask my great grandfather William Henry Anderson of Atlanta, Ga. and Portales, New Mexico the following questions: Who were your parents? Did your parents come with you to Texas and where are they buried? Where did you meet and marry Fatima Johnson ? Why did you move to Mason, Texas and then to New Mexico ? So many questions about the family and only you can give the answers. Dixie Jay

I would ask my Grandfather, Francis Marion Anderson, about his ancestors. I know nothing about the family beyond my grandfather. Woodrow McElroy

I know, but think of the poor natives, especially the 600 who died in the long house, after helping the settlers. As historians we have to take these things on board. Many Anderson married into native tribes, not such a big step from the clann system that suffered a similar fate. The current issue of the "Andrean", journal of the Anderson Association may be of interest to some, as would the Association. Here is the contact addy for David W Anderson. I contains a history of the variations of Anderson tartans. dewa@lord-everingham.freeserve.co.uk > Don, that was cruel, irrelevant and in extremely poor taste... J

I would invite my gggrandfather, William G. Wall. I would ask him: 1. What were his experiences in California in 1849 and 1851? 2. What were his experiences in the Civil War in MO? 3. What did his brother Stewart tell him about he, his brother-in-law and 3 men, while on a prospecting trip to Arizona, being awakened from sleep and attacked by 300 Apache and how was he the rest of his life after taking 17 arrows? (story is documented in newspapers in San Bernardino, CA and Prescott, AZ) 4. What happened to my gggrandmother, who died at 23. 5. How were you able to own and operate a ranch in CO, when you were blinded in the Civil War? 6. What happened to your mother? Did she die in route to California or in MO? David Anderson

I would invite my 2nd Great Grandmother, Elizabeth Anderson, born in Virginia about 1816, and married to (1) Aarod Perkins (2) Joseph Perkins, who are your parents, grandparents and siblings? Also, where are you buried and did you die about 1875 in Grayson County, Virginia? You are a mystery to me as well as a great stumbling block, please tell me all about your life - was it a hard life? What it was like to bear and raise Amanda, Melinda, Fleming, Lucinda, America, Joseph, Phebe, John, unknown Perkins, and Major midst the hardships of pioneer life? My how I admire and love you.
