Here's my troublesome Anderson line.... John Anderson, a cooper, lived in CharlesTown, WVA, in the early 1800's. May be the one who married Sarah Duke in Berkeley County, WVA, in 1799. Owned various lots in town during 1800-1811. May have had a tavern or inn, may have had something to do with the Jockey Club. His son, David, also a cooper, married Mary Kackley in Hampshire County, WVA in 1820. Mary died (I think 1848) and David and children moved to Peoria County, IL, in 1850's. David died there in 1861. David's daughter Mary Ann married Amos Dunn. Mary Ann and their two little children died in IL in 1859. I don't know anything about the Dunn connection, before or since. David's son Robert Ferguson was a miller who lived in Pendleton County, WVA, married first Martha Henkle North and then Sarah North, her sister. He moved to Peoria County, IL, in the early 1850's. David's son John Henry (born 1828 in WVA) married Alice Preston in Peoria County, IL, and they had 9 sons. All lived in the area of Trivoli, Peoria County, IL. and many are buried there. David had several other children but I have no information on them after they moved to IL. I would guess there are descendants of these Andersons spread all over the country and I'd really like to know who they are and find out if any of them can solve the mysteries surrounding the original John Anderson. Don't know where he came from, who he married, when he died, where he's buried, if he had more children than David, etc. Susan in Milwaukee
