Hi Sarah, I am trying to find out about Reuben Anderson, ca 1821 in either AL or TN (federal census records say both). He married Sara who was born in TN. They had the following children in MS: Willliam H H 1843, Martha J 1845, Sara E, 1847, James M 1849 and Mary Emeline 1852. Census records show George W born in TN. Sara apparently died soon after the birth of Mary Emeline. Reuben remarried in 1852 to Margaret Ellen Gatlin. They had the following children in AR: Cythia Ann Francis Caroline Arkansas 1854, Bersheba Wilbourn 1855 and Reuben 1856. Reuben moved to Hot Spring County, Clear Creek township in 1850 or shortly before. I thought it interesting to see the name Bathsheba.
