Jonathan A. Anderson (possibly married by 1870) 1850 Shelby Co Tx = Jonathan, age 04 born Tx 1860 Orange Co Tx = Johnathan, age 15 born Tx William Pinkney Anderson (not married in 1870) 1860 Orange Co Tx = William, age 10 born Tx Elizabeth Anderson (not married in 1870) 1860 Orange Co Tx = Elizabeth, age 08 born Tx Amanda A. Anderson (not married in 1870) 1860 Orange Co Tx = Manda, age 06 born Tx Archibald A. Anderson (not married in 1870) 1860 Orange Co Tx = Archabald, age 01 born Tx ALLEGED children not found in 1870 yet.......... James Perry Anderson (possibly called "Chane") 1900 Shelby Co Tx = age 34 born Apr 1867 Tx/Tx/Tx 1910 Shelby Co Tx = age 43 born La/Tx/Tx Headstone = born 17 Apr 1868 Sarah Ann [Anderson] (I have real doubts about her) 1900 Shelby Co Tx = age 30 born Jan 1870 Tx/SC/Tx 1910 Shelby Co Tx = age 44 born Tx/Tx/Tx Headstone = born 05 Mar 1867 I have now exhausted every search variation I can think of !! I really believe that Perry & his unmarried chn were either not enumerated for the 1870 Tx/La census, omitted from the entire 1870 Tx/La census indexes, or are listed under some surname that does not begin with "And". I have even searched the entire 1870 Tx/La indexes under just their given names and I have searched every page of the 1870 Shelby Co Tx, Orange Co Tx, and Sabine Parish La censuses individually (twice) but still cannot find ANY of them. Perry & Isabella are "said" to have died in the latter 1870's but all of their chn were still living in 1900 so they were definetly somewhere in 1870 !!!
