Sherry, Henry P. ANDERSON and Mary WOOD Anderson had three children, James Matthew ANDERSON, Eliza Alice ANDERSON and William Henry ANDERSON. I am a granddaughter of William Henry ANDERSON and his third wife, Clara HAMPTON. I know you are a decendant through William Henry ANDERSON and his second wife, Mollie/Mary Shaw, but I do not have a copy of that line. I hope the following will answer some of your questions. Re:>Can anyone furnish information on Talitha Cumi Stowe and Dr. James P. >Anderson? Seeking proof that Henry P. Anderson was a son. (Note he >named his eldest son, James Matthew Anderson. The eldest dau. was >named Talitha.) The oldest daughter of Henry P. ANDERSON was: Eliza Alice ANDERSON, born 1844, married Daniel Payne (unknown if he was related to William PAYNE). To date I have not found a daughter named Talitha for Henry P. ANDERSON. Eliza Alice ANDERSON was the only daughter of Henry P. ANDERSON and Mary WOOD. Henry P. ANDERSON and his second wife Elizabeth __?__ had daughters named Mary and Mattie accordding to the census. Please let me know your source of documentation of a daughter Talitha for Henry P. ANDERSON Matthew WOOD was the father of Mary WOOD who married Henry P. ANDERSON, and Willis WOOD who married Talitha Anderson. It is unknown if Henry P. ANDERSON and Talitha Anderson were siblings. James Matthew ANDERSON, oldest son of Henry P. ANDERSON and Mary WOOD ANDERSON had a daughter named Sarah Talitha "Litha" ANDERSON, who married Robert Eaton Lee. Re:>Seeking information on Abigail Swint and William Payne. William PAYNE and Mary Abigail SWINT Payne lived in Greenville, Alabama History of Butler County from 1815 to 1885 by J. B. Little, states William PAYNE was Greenville's first treasurer. William PAYNE was born about 1755 in England and is believed to have died about 1825 in Greenville, Alabama. After his death, his widow moved to the home of their son William PAYNE in Sandy Ridge, Lowndes County, Alabama. She is buried in the Payne family cemetery on the property. She died August 29, 1852. William PAYNE and Abigail SWINT were the parents of Hannah PAYNE who married Matthew WOOD. I have found no record of Hannah PAYNE being married to anyone except Matthew WOOD. I have found a note that Hannah PAYNE was the second wife of Matthew WOOD. I have a name that is supposed to have been his first wife, but to date have not documented the marriage. >Re:Was Matthew Wood a son of Miseal Wood? and grandson of James Wood? Matthew WOOD was the son of Abraham WOOD accordding to the will of Abraham WOOD. Abraham WOOD,(August 29, 1762 - August 30, 1828) was married to Jane GILBERT (June 03, 1759 - December 07, 1823) and she is probally the mother of Matthew WOOD, but to date I have not found documentation of this. Abraham WOOD is believed to be the son of Philemon Wood, but to date I have not documented this. If you learn more of the ANDERSON and/or WOOD families, I would appreciate any information you will share.
