I have Anderson family members that live in around Hugo Oklahoma. My g-g-grandpa is Willis Byrd Anderson. His son is Willis Anderson and my grandma is Edith (Anderson) McDowell. Willis Byrd Anderson is buried in Ft. Townson along with his wife Martha R. Minda (Austin) Anderson and with some other Anderson's. We believe that Willis Byrd's brothers are Stephen Anderson, Bill Anderson (died when he was young) and I think there were some more but I can't remember their names. Willis Byrd had some half brothers and this could be them or they could be full brothers. We Also think that Jesse Anderson was Willis Byrd Anderson's father. We're still trying to find information on them. My Anderson's mainly live in Southern Oklahoma in Choctaw Co. and in Northern Texas. We have found on the internet were Willis Byrd Anderson And Martha R. Minda Austin were married. I can't remember the year but they were married in around Paris Texas in Lamar County.
