Re Anderson White Hall Farm Woodglen Lebanon -- which Anderson (John; William; George H.? by the Little Brook) -- to my understanding, William, one of the sons of John senior, moved to the Midwest and started up another family (aside from Hixenbough, then Castner in Lebanon Twnshp; then, Corzatt) -- John senior owned a number of farms in and around that area of White Hall and which his grandson, William [born 1819; liaison of William Anderson and Elizabeth Hixenbough] inherited same. Those Andersons (to my knowledge)are buried in Pleasant Grove Cemetery/Morris County (William and George H. and John R.) and Spruce Run Lutheran (lower part; very old) Cemetery (John Anderson senior)... I believe John Anderson senior came from Samuel Anderson, but still researching that line...
