Hello all -- I had a good suggestion from Judy, a new listmember from Michigan, today. She suggested that it might be helpful to all of us if each posted a list of our principal surnames of interest, or identified our current ancestoral dead-ends in Anderson County. Then maybe someone might be able to direct some info our way, because they 'll know what we're looking for. I hadn't done this before because I post queries to the Anderson Co. Query Forum and also have my surnames in the Anderson Co. Surname Page. Actually this was rather shortsighted because no one reads everything. My relatives from Anderson County are not easy to identify individually because they have been in the general area of Mercer, Washington, Anderson, Madison, Garrard, Boyle, Marion and other nearby counties for 180-210 years, and have never stopped moving around and intermingling. The principal surnames, however, that I associate with Anderson Co. in particular are: Wickersham, Bruner, Moore, Peavler, Ross, and Ward -- at least those are the ones that spring to mind at the moment. I also have some long-ago White, Tudor, and Searcy ancestors from Madison County, whose descendants probably moved into Anderson County, but I have not researched this aspect specifically so far. So, enough of my genealogical interest. Would someone else like to take a turn?? Birchell Coslow
