Sarah Evalyn Anderson was 15 and drove one of the 4 wagons enroute to Texas. Sarah is my Gx2 Grandmother, and John and Kate are my Gx3 Grandparents. Unfortunately, this is about all we know about the family prior to their arrival in Texas. Hoping someone on this mailing list might have additional information on them. Particularly interested in their history in the state of Missouri - prior to coming to Texas.
