I am researching a Timothy Anderson that was born about 1780. He married Margera. He has two known sons named Timothy Smith Anderson and Richard Anderson. He has a daughter named Lucinda K. Anderson. His wife is named Margarett or Margarera. I found Timothy first on the following Franklin Co., Ga. tax list: 1800, page 34, Timothey Anderson 1801, page 15, Timothy Anderson 1803, page 6, Timothey Anderson 1810, page 2, Timothy Anderson I also found Timothy Anderson in the book HISTORY OF FRANKLIN COUNTY, GEORGIA, page 89: "Timothy Anderson - BB" (drew 2 blanks in the 1805 Georgia Land Lottery for land located in Baldwin, Wilkinson, & Wayne Counties.) Timothy's son, TIMOTHY SMITH ANDERSON, was born about 1815 in Georgia, and died about 1884 in Cleburne County, Alabama. Timothy' Smith's wife was named Margaret and their children were Arminder Jane, William E., Francis (Frank) M., John H., Milas (Miles) Jasper, Sarah, James Thomas, Newberry Smith, Jefferson Davis, and Lucinda Evaline. Timothy Smith Anderson had had a brother named Richard that wed Amanda Little. He also had a sister, Lucinda K., that wed Isam or Joshua Isham Bently Oct 14, 1847, in Calhoun Co., Al. I believe that I am correct in saying that this entire family migrated to Benton Co., Al, between 1840 and 1850 from DeKalb County, Ga. We think that Timothy Smith Anderson's father died before 1840 - possibly in the Indian War of 1836. Timothy's mom, Margera, remarried to John A. Barnes August 25, 1847, in Benton Co., Al. John was from Madison County, Georgia and he had a son from a previous marriage, William M. Barnes, born 1825, in Madison County. (Ref: Family Treemaker, Vol 10, Tree 4466) Timothy Smith Anderson, Richard Anderson, and Abel Anderson were living near each other in the Kemp's Creek District of Calhoun/Cleburne County in 1860 and 1870. Timothy and Richard came from DeKalb Co., GA, after 1840; Abel came from Cherokee Co., GA, after 1850.. Abel was born in SC about 1791-1792. I found him first on the 1840 Union Co., GA Census. He married Anna Magee February 24, 1825, in Habersham Co., GA. In DeKalb Co., GA, Timothy Smith Anderson seems to be related to Robert C., and William B. Anderson and their children. On the 1840 DeKalb Census, I found a Robert C., William B., and Smith Anderson that had 7 slaves each. Richard Anderson, Timothy's brother, sold 101 1/4 acres to John Elams for $800 on February 1, 1842. Martha, a member of our small group researching this line, went to the Surveyor General's office for a copy of the original land grant. It was first granted to James Garnett of Madison County, Georgia. We found a James, John, Jacob, and Terril Anderson on the 1820 census there. Since the name James is so common in our line, we think that our ancestor came from Madison County. Please contact me if you have seen any of the above names. I will share everything that we have found on these Andersons. Bill
