You think you are having trouble finding your John Anderson , you need to try and find this William H. Anderson . I have started with his third ggrandfather back in Orange Co. Virginia in 1764 and got to Green Co. to his first marriage to a Betty Bryant and their three children , and then his second marriage to Virginia A. Smith they have six children in Green Co. , Virginia , but have not in the 31/2 years that I have been searching found the second wife and him on any records . A few years before their deaths , I find them in W.V. , and still find no records for them anywhere. NOW THIS IS A BRICK WALL.
