Sherwood Anderson and his last wife, E. Copenhaver, had their summer home, Ripshin, at Troutdale, Va. which is a few minutes away from my ancestral home in Alleghany County, N.C. I was interested to know if his Anderson line (I have one, too) had a Virginia past even though I know he was a Midwesterner to start. Is anyone researching his line or connected?
