Happy New Year to everyone: I'm looking for a Joseph ANDERSON (gggg'gfather) was b:c1750 ?VA >SC>IL then killed by Indians while out hunting in 1806 in IL with James Curry. Wife Mary (surnameunknown) m:c1768 they migrated to Abbeville, SC had 5 daughters: Jane b:c1794, Marjorie b:c1775, Margaret b:c1800, Mary b:c1763 and Catherine b:c1772 and one son AMOS b:c1783 ---- all kids born in Abbeville, SC Joseph ANDERSON then moved c1790 to Randolph Co., IL and lived in Scotch/Irish part of town.. but wife stayed briefly in SC, as Joseph was a possibly/probably a "trail leader" for westward migration of Rev War Vets claiming IL 'bounty land" for Rev War Service. He served 28 months as a Sgt in Rev War 1779-1781 with Col George Rogers CLARK in the NorthWest IL-IN-KY Campaign, serving in Captain BOWMAN'S unit. He probably developed his SC to IL "trail leader" navigation skills during this time. There are lots of (surname) LIVELY married into my family line. Can anyone help me with any information on my Joseph at this time? With warmest regards from Sunny San Diego, "Ed" :-) Ed Greene MI > Jefferson Co., IL> San Diego, CA 3538 Elsinore Place San Diego, CA 92117-4509 Tele: 858-274-3720 **************************************************************************** ******* Researching these surnames: GETTY (IRE>IL); GREEN (VA/MD>IL); ANDERSON VA>SC>IL; TAGGART (SC>IL); LIVELY (SC>IL); PARKER (SC>IL); PORTER (SC>IL) **************************************************************************** **************** Member & Family Tree Maker Group Leader: Computer Genealogy Society of San Diego www.cgssd.org RootsWeb Listowner: Hardinger and Domeny: Consider joining the DOMENY-L or the HARDINGER-L Rootsweb Newsgroup: DOMENY-request@rootsweb.com or HARDINGER-request@rootsweb.com with only the word "subscribe" (unquoted) in the message area.
