My name is Edith Ann Anderson <edith.anderson42@yahoo.com> My father was John Harbird Anderson of University City, MO and Carlinville, IL (until he was 17). His sister is Helen Virginia ("Alice") Anderson Brock also of Carlinville. Their father was John K. Anderson b. 1877 to a Male Anderson and Virginia M. Ramey Anderson b. 1842 in Carlinville, IL. I have attached a census page from 1880 (I couldn't open the file.gf) that shows Mary Ramey Anderson as widowed head of household, along with her brother, Joseph and my 3 yo grandfather along with his 3 siblings. I have spent, and other relatives, too, several years trying to locate the husband of Virginia M. Ramey/father of my grandfather John K(imball) Anderson. Can you give me any help at all? Other relatives of mine in Carlinville on my father's (John Harbird Anderson) were Georgia and Betty Burroughs of 302 Minton, Charles Burroughs and other Burroughs, and many Cherrys. Reputedly our uncle George Cherry was a drummer for Gen Sherman in his march from Atlanta to the sea (who knows?). Maternal relatives are from Gillespie. My mother was Edith Margaret Hutton Anderson and her parents were Charles and Lula (Fitzpatrick) Hutton. I did find a James B. Anderson who mustered out of the army in 1877 and returned to Tennessee. Coincidentally, Tennessee is where Mary Ramey Anderson's husband was from. Thanks for considering this inquiry. Edith Anderson 1606 E. 50th Place, 2A Chicago, IL 60615
