Hello My name is Paul Pruitt and I am working on a Anderson family, and a lot of the names that you have listed on the posting below, come very close. Do you know where in Texas your grand father lived?? and where in Calif. did your father live?? Here is some of what I have, see if any of it fits with your information. I have been trying to get in touch with some of John Henry Anderson's brothers descendants. I thought they all had all girls, so the name Anderson died there, but maybe not. I am trying to locate the descendants of Edward James Anderson born about 1860. He married Mable Myrick (Myaler) They had two daughters Wanda Canelia Anderson born 10 Sept 1924 in Ellis Co. Texas. Also his brother Daniel Anderson born May 1862 He married Susie in 1894. They also had two daughters, Lake Anderson born Dec 1894 Ellis Co. Texas and Pearl Anderson born Feb 1898 Ellis Co. Texas. I have information on, these two brothers other brother, John Henry Anderson. Need information on their parents and two sisters. John Henry Anderson is my wife’s Great Grand Father. He also had mostly girls, he had two sons, one died young and the other never married. So that Anderson name line ended there. But I almost know there are some descendants of his brothers are still out there. As you can see some of the names are close, do the dates fit?? Some of the names I have may be wrong. Danial's wife, the only name I have is Susie. That may be a nick name. We call Our oldest daughter "Susie" and her name is Donna Sue. I can see where your father might have been named after his father and one of his uncles. I understand that when John Henry Anderson was about 8 or 9 years old something happened to both parents. The children were raised by another family. John Henry Anderson some times used the name John Henry Singlton Anderson. So that could be the family that raised him or his mother's relatives, or both. Hope some of this fits. I have a lot of information on John Henry Anderson's descendants. And a lot of stories about him and them. Talk to you later. Paul [email protected]
