He attended another wedding in 1817 and neither of these people bore the name of Anderson. Then on 27 Aug 1818 a John Anderson married Temperance Pratt. Either this John or another one married Ellender Bryan on 14 Nov 1833 as mentioned before. And, John Anderson m. Almira White on 13 Dec 1848 with Alexander R. Anderson attending and Charles Gass, J.P. William Anderson may also have been a J.P. and attended a wedding on 10 Jun 1807 which means he was at least 21 and probably born abt. 1786, so he could be John's father. A William Anderson m. 22 Dec 1812 Ellen Craig. a William also m. Keziah Hurley 1 Aug 1837. In 1841 a William Anderson was listed as an M.G. and was at a wedding on 9 Oct. On 3 Aug 1853 a William Anderson (a free man of color) m. Miranda Burden (also free and of color). Now get this, a William Anderson m. Martha Collett (who is related to me) on 27 Oct 1866. And, a William A. Anderson m. Margaret E. Stephens 24 Jun 1860. Alexander R. Anderson was also a J.P. and an Alexander was attending weddings as early as 9 Sep 1800 so he was probably born 1779 or before and may be Alexander R. Anderson. Or he could be Alexander William who married Mary Kelsay on 5 Jan 1797 with Samuel Kelsay attending. Alexander R. Anderson m. Eliza A. Woods 31 Mar 1846. So...perhaps Alexander R. Anderson was the father or Alexander William Anderson, and had sons John and William. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
