To the list, Other than my immediate cousins, has anyone worked on Sanders in Davidson County? Specifically, Sanders tied to North Carolina>Rutherford and Wilson Counties before Davidson, as I feel certain Anna and her father came to this area because other family were coming here. My ancestor, Anna Sanders Baker, (wife of James Baker of Hermitage, Dist. 16), came with her father, Joseph Sanders to Nashville in 1810 on horseback. They had originally planned to go with Armstrong and Benton families to West Tennessee via flatboats on the Cumberland River. The earthquake of 1811-12 changed their plans, and Anna married James. They first lived near the Ezells off Murfreesboro Road, and then onto their own lands on the Stones River (now under Percy Priest Lake) Anna makes reference in a newspaper article to going back to NC to visit relatives. The 1860 Davidson County census says she was born in NC and James in SC. I have no certain evidence of who her father was other than that one article where she was interviewed, and certainly no mention of who her mother was, although I believe someone may have worked on the Sanders lines in TN or may have some idea of who they were connected to in NC. It has always been funny to me that we do not know the name of Anna's mother. Any family legends or ideas about who she was? Any assistance or comments appreciated. I descend from their daughter, Nancy, who married John Robert Evans. Lorene Cook Lambert
