In the book, "History of the Christian Church in Maysville, KY", is there any mention of Andersons? I notice the author is Gayle Anderson Braden. I am related to both the Osbornes (Daniel W. is my ggggrandfather) and the Andersons. I am looking specifically for information on Peter S. Anderson, born (in VA?) in 1803 and died in Mason County in 1888. He is buried in Locust Grove Cemetery in Dover. His son Lewis married Mary Eliza Osborne, daughter of Thomas Collier Osborne. They eventually moved their family to West Virginia. Although Peter Anderson was considered a "prominent citizen" of Mason County, I am having difficult tracing his family. Perhaps church records would help. I believe they were members of one of the Christian Churches. In West Virginia, they attended the Disciples of Christ church. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

"A History of the Christian Church Maysville Kentucky." Authored by Gayle Anderson Braden and Coralie Jones Runyon Published in 1948 by: The Official Board of the Maysville Christian Church. Pgs (part of)32-34 Undoubtedly these compounded misfortunes blighted the fledgling Christian Church along with the rest of the city, but by 1835 it was gaining new members and strength. During the first six months of this year, John O'Kane and David S. Burnet held meetings for the church. It was during the meeting held by Elder O'Kane that "the doors of the house in which the Christian Church had been born were closed against it.... A temporary home was sought and found in a carpenter's shop in Graves Alley." The membership of the "Reformed" church was now approximately eighty-four. It was definitely accepted by the communicty as an independent church and was apparently looked upon with respect. The carpenter shop in the alley was not appropriate in location or size for the new church... The circumstances leading up to the erection of the first, permanent church building were as follows: .... a committee of two, viz: William B. Mooklar and William Corwine, were appointed by the Christian Church of Maysville, Mason County, Kentucky, to purchase a lot of ground and build a house of worship for said church, which was accodingly done as soon therafter as possible, and on the 11th of February following, 1836, they reported to the congregation the building finished, at a cost of sixteen hunred and thirty-eight dollars. [goes on to say who laid the foundations, etc. for the church building on Third Street between Sutton and Fish (now Wall) Streets] bottom of page 34 In addition to the original twenty-eight, others who were members of the church by 1836 were the following: C.B. Anderson, Eli Anderson, Amanda Brooks, Elizabeth Brooks, Mary A. Brooks, Delilah Burgoyne, Martha Chambers, Moses Chambers and wife, David Clark and wife, Catherine Cooper, John Corwine William Corwine, Thomas Daulton, Maria Dewese, Joseph Frank, Sr., Elizabeth Hays, Mariah Hixson, William Holton and wife, Julia Hudnut, Nancy McCall, Araminta Miner, William B. Mooklar, Frederick Morgan, John Morford, William Moss and wife, Jone Outon, James Phillips and wife, Evan Ricketts, Sr., and wife, Eliza Senteny (later Mrs. Joseph Frank), Alex Shackleford, John Shackleford and wife, Daniel Spaulding, Jr, and wife, James Spaulding and wife, B. Smith, Nancy Thompson, Joseph Thompson, Sallie Wadsworth, Amanda Wood, Andrew T. Wood, and Mary Wood. (goes on to talk a bit about Holtons, Franks, Cartmell, and Daulton and Jones - who is grandparents of whom.)
