This is the first I have heard of Elizabeth and Uriah Anderson. I would like to know more about the Andersons. I have a John Gordon b c1715 who married a Ruth. Ruth had another marriage to a Abraham Anderson. I have a Rachael Stennis b1816 married to James Alexander in Greenville Co SC. Some of the Stennis family moved to Kemper Co Mississippi which is next to Green Co Alabama. I have a John Anderson who's son was William Pinckney Anderson b c1856. William married Mary Cornilia Peden. The peden family was from Greenville Co SC and many of them also settled in kemper Co Ms. I have a Martha Anderson b1806 in SC married allen newton Mayes b1804 Franklin Co Ga. They married in Cobb Co Ga. The Mayes family also relocated to Green co Alabama and Lauderdale Co Mississippi. I have Olive D Anderson b c1827 married John M Harrison. While this is not my main line Harrison family they did also move to lauderdale and Newton Co Mississippi. They were from Spartanburg Co SC. I would like to know if your Anderson are related to mine.
