I'm trying to document and find some answers on the following family: Major Anderson, b: Nov. 27, 1777, Kent Co, DE - d: June 30, 1830, Greene Co, OH Married: Nov. 18, 1800, Guilford Co, NC Miriam Mendenhall (dau. of John, 3/6/1767, NC - 12/9/1825, Greene Co, OH) Children: 1) John Mendenhall, b: 9/2/1801 2) Lydia, b: 3/2/1803 3) Phoebe H., b: 3/6/1807, OH 4) Mary, b: 1/11/1809, OH Some researchers also show children: Martha, b: 2/14/1802, OH (md. Alexander Morton, Jr.), but if this birthdate is correct, then she would have been born only 5 months after John Mendenhall Anderson was born. Another researcher gives her birth as 2/17/1798, in MD. Major, b: abt. 1811, who married Narcissa Bennington Morton ..... marriage records for Clark Co, OH show: Major Anderson md. Nercissa Bennington, Sept. 6, 1829. Major & Narcissa are found on the 1850 Putnam Co, IN census and he is listed as (either) 44 or 49 (it's hard to tell), born in DE. I believe that both Martha & Major Anderson are children of Major Anderson (b: 1777), but from a wife previous to Miriam Mendenhall... the 1800 Guilford Co, NC census (which shows 2 Major Andersons) seem to substantiate this theory... the census was taken several months before Major & Miriam's marriage. Did the younger Major's mother die from complications of childbirth? One of the Major Andersons died in Guilford Co in 1801. On the 1810 census, there are no Major Andersons listed there. Can anyone help me with these Andersons? Thanks. Marsha IL
