Anderson // See if anyone might follow some thinking on a possible connection to the Werts line: Margaret Runner* descends from Wilhelm/William Wurtz/Verts/Werts, b. 1703 Tauberbischofsheim, Baden area of Germany. [ Laufer surname was translated to Runner in America.Have seen Shaffer with that line as well.] Margaret's brother, Nathan Coleman Runner m. Patsey Kendall, likely a sister to Bailey Anderson Kendall. Margaret Runner's mother, Maria Eliz/sabeth Werts/Virtz is sister to Phillipp Peter Werts, of lovettsville, Loudon Co., VA. PHillipp's descendants migrated to Lucas Co., IA in the mid to late 1800's. Phillip's son Peter [George Peter] Werts/Wurtz d. at Adamsville, Salem Township, Muskingum Co., Ohio in 1855. Phillip's daughter, Christina Werts m. George Adams, b. Feb 12, 1788, VA. Their granddaughter is Mrs. Joseph A. Gookin, aka LuLu Blanche Adams, b. 1869, d. 1964 [prob. Chariton, Lucas Co, IA] -- if I have followed this correctly. Christina and George's son, Martin Van Buren Adams, b. 1837 b. Muskingum Co., OH, d. prob. Lucas Co.IA, m. Zelpha Anne Bagley-Nims, b. 1839, d. 1921, prob Lucas Co., IA Peter's wife was Susanah Hoff/Huff, b. 1775 - both born at Frederick Co., Maryland.
