It is a new millennium, and I am once again taking a lunge at my brick wall, the two Ann Andersons, mother and daughter, who are mired in the 19th Century. I know very little about them, other than they claimed (on census records) to have been born in Kentucky. I pick them up in Williamson County, Texas, where they went between 1850- and 1860 when the county was still on frontier. Ann the elder had remarried by then (assuming she was married to an Anderson the first time) to a man named Davis. Don't know if this was in Kentucky or Texas, but by 1860 he was dead. Ann the younger, born March 17, 1843, had married William Bennett by then and they were homesteading, with Ann the elder living with them. These ladies were my great-great-grandmother and my great-grandmother, respectively, and I know nothing more about their early lives than that. Both were dead by the time my own grandmother was six years old, so there are no "family" stories about them to pass on or to offer a clue. My question, as always -- Does anyone have a missing wife named Ann with her daughter named Ann among your Kentucky families? One help -- the younger had a middle name -- Talitha. love joan
