    1. [ANDERSON-L] Andersons from Augusta Cty, VA to Peoria Cty, IL
    2. To any interested Andersons: I visited relatives in Illinois last summer and we went to several small rural cemeteries where Andersons were buried. I took photos of gravestones and just (finally!) had the film developed. These folks were all from the Augusta County area of VA as far as I can figure out. I am trying to find information on my David Anderson who was born in CharlesTown, Jefferson County, VA and what do I find in one of the photos but David Anderson, born April 15, 1797 (MY DAVID!) and died January 21, 1861, buried in Pleasant Grove Cemetery in Trivoli, Peoria County, IL. Interestingly, he is buried in the Dunn family section of the cemetery with his wife Mary J. Dunn (b. February 16, 1833, died November 25, 1859) so obviously this was a "trophy wife" (ha ha)..at least a much younger one. My information is that his first wife was a Mary Hackley from VA. Also on headstones were the following: Martha H. Anderson (1827-1863) Charles D. Anderson (1852-1864) John H. Anderson (b. September 15, 1829, d. June 21, 1900) His wife, Alice Preston (b. april 10, 1831, d. May 6, 1916) Their son Frank L. Anderson (b. January 16, 1875, d. June 15, 1904) Their son Edward J. Anderson (b. February 10, 1870, d. July 11, 1960) Raymond G. Anderson (1881-1944) His wife Lucy F. Anderson (1879-1965) I hope these names show up in someone's database or are missing relatives because they are all connected with my David but I don't know how. Apparently my North, Anderson, Marshall, and Fletcher ancestors all moved to this area of Illinois at about the same time, just before, during, or after the Civil War. They are all intertwined through marriage. The Norths and Andersons from VA and the Marshalls and Fletchers from Ohio. Hope this rings a bell with someone as I'm stuck on the Anderson, Marshall and Fletcher lines. Susan Lathrum
