This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Stockton, Wood, Valentine, Andriessen Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Wl.2ADIB/839.864.880.894.896.922.5065 Message Board Post: Judging from other queries, the Fred Anderson of Minnesota you identify as Edward Friend Anderson was born in Bridgeboro, Burlington Co NJ, in August of 1892. This is quite possibly his line: The 1900 census of Delran Township (in which Bridgeboro is located) shows "Eddie" Anderson, born Aug 1892, as the son of Ellis Anderson, b Jun 1860 NJ. Earlier Burlington Co censuses point to Ellis being the son of Charles Anderson, b ca 1818 NJ, and Charles the son of William Anderson, b ca 1794. The proximity of William and Charles on the 1850 census to persons named Stockton and Wood suggests descent from Isaac Anderson, b ca 1720, who married Mary Valentine. See the WorldConnect Project submission on Isaac, which claims he's descended from Claes Andriessen.
