Found on the 1870 Census for Elbert Co., GA: Page 17, Elberton Post Office, Dwelling # 92, Family # 92, June 18, 1870 Anderson, Jos. E., age 33, male, b. GA, Occupation Shoemaker " Malinda J., age 28, female, b. SC, Keeping house " Joseph L., age 7, male, b. SC " William L., age 5, male, b. SC " John J., age 3, male, b. SC " Mary E., age 1, female , b. GA " George S., age 1/12, male, b. GA in the month of April This 1870 Census for Elbert County, GA was said to be lost and not available when I began researching this family 25 years ago. With marriages not required to be recorded in SC at that time period, this now gives a valuable piece of documentation for the family. Malinda died the following year, in 1871 making it impossible to find her on a later Census. I never knew there was a girl born to this couple, she must have died young. Have never found another reference to her. Another point which had always been a thing of speculation is now proven. This proves that my grandfather Jim Anderson, who always signed "J. J. Anderson" was in fact named John James Anderson. Frances Hall
