Abraham was married to Elizabeth in 1850 and there was no Newton living with them. I think that Newton Anderson was the son of Abijah Anderson. Teenagers were often hired out by their parent in Hawkins County. It is also possible the Elizabeth was related in some way to Abijah Anderson or his wife but there is no marriage record. Ages between the 1850 and 1860 Hawkins County census vary from 8-12 years, so the 1860 age for Newton fits very well. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
