Vickye Posted on the list I see you are researching several of the same surnames I am. Hoping there can be a connection for SHAW, and ANDERSON, I am activlely researching for info. on them, the names Jackson and Swigert are married into my lines. Looking for info. on Samuel Shaw his ancesters and descendents and John Anderson 's ancestors and descendents. First info. I have on Samuel Shaw is in Lexington Lafayette Co. Mo.1880. For John Anderson in Jackson Co. Mo. 1850, he stayed there untill 1900 when I found him in Lafayette Co. Mo. living with a daughter and husband ,Wm. Bunger, .One of Wm.'s daughter's married a Swigert. One of the females in the Anderson line married a Jackson . Also in my line of Pierce I have a Sarah E. Pierce that married Wilder Jackson.Could there be a connection?? Vivian vivb@earthlink.net
