Hello Listers, I am so glad to see all the activity on the Anderson list and hope someday some one will connect to my Anderson family. Since it has been a while since i sent in my info I will do so again in hopes someone has a connection. JAMES ANDERSON born 4 Nov 1826 Ky, died 28 Jun 1881 Ashton, Clark Co. MO. Maried 1 Mar 1860 to MARY ELIZABETH (RICHEY) LAYTON. Bible record listed date but no place and not located place of marriage. James bought land in 1853 in Clark Co. MO and have no info on him before that date. It has been stated he had a sister LUCINDA ANDERSON and a sister JUDA ANDERSON, a brother JAKE (prob. Jacob) and another brother that wasn't named. Could have been more siblings, not sure. James and Mary's children were Thomas J., Sidney Van, James F., Adaline, May Bell, Jacob, Rosetta, John Wesley and my grandmother Juda Anderson Dyer. It is even an outside possiblility that James was married before as he was 34 when married Mary. Was also said his parents were from Virginia, mabye Scotland before that. Nothing concrete to go on thought. Gladys of Bettendorf, IA ___________________________________________________________________ Why pay more to get Web access?
