Hi listees, I have ben going through my file and sourcing the items and I happened up this poor fellow. I know considerable about his brothers and sisters but he seems to have picked up in 1825 and "went west young man". He had brothers and sisters that went to Illinois and Arkansas but I suppose he might have even gone to Iowa or Misouri. Anyway if you have a James Anderson with wife Ann for whom you cannot find the father please consider claiming this fellow. I wold be interested in collecting the Descendants of James Anderson. Generation No. 8 (I can share tons on the preceding 7) 1. JAMES8 ANDERSON (ARMSTEAD7, JOHN6, JAMES5, THOMAS4, THOMAS3, THOMAS2, RICHARD1) (Source: Urshula Anderson Kief, Anderson Family Bible, (Collins's Third Edition, New York; Printed and sold by Collins & Co.; 1814.).) was born November 07, 1785 in Henry County, Virginia, and died Aft. 1820. He married ANN FRAZIER September 11, 1811 in Union County, Kentucky. Notes for JAMES ANDERSON: James Anderson's birth November 07, 1785 is recorded in the Urshula Anderson Bible last known to be in the possession of William Allen Anderson, Morganfield, Kentucky, 42437. James is listed in the 1820 Union Co., Kentucky census, but not after that. Tax records indicate that he was last in Union county in 1825. His land was taken over by his brother William who paid the taxes on it in 1826. William however did not assume control of his children, his slaves, or his horses. I suspect that he may have moved on to Illinois or Arkansas. Tax data Henderson and Union Counties Kentucky Co. Yr Hrs Cow M>21 M>16 M<16 Land Description H 1808 1 1 400 a.
