Want to know how you descend from Revolutionary War soldier and Congressman Joseph Anderson for whom Anderson County is named? Want to see pictures of Joseph, his son Alexander Anderson and his grandson David Deadrick Anderson for whom Dave Nelson was named? Then don't miss the Nelson Reunion for the descendants of Jave and Ellen Evans Nelson. Jave and Ellen were married in Anderson County, TN in 1877. They were parents of David, Henry, Catherine, Frank, Tom, Cynthia, Page, Taylor, Sam and Clara. Ellen died in 1925 and Jave in 1926. Both are buried in the old Liberty Church Cemetary. Ellen was the daughter of Thomas and Permelia Evans York. Thomas and Permelia were living in Claiborne County, TN in 1900. Permelia is said to have died at Cloudswitch, TN in 1901. Thomas Evans and his son Hugh were both Civil War Veterans, and Hugh was at one time a Clinton City Marshal. Ellen's other brothers and sisters included Silas, Mary, Elizabeth, Martha, and Milton. We would especially like to hear from some descendants of these people. The Nelson/Evans reunion will be July 20, 2002 at the Farmers Grove Baptist Church fellowship hall in Blockhouse Valley beginning at 11:00. Come and bring your families, friends and food, family pictures and any other memorabilia you would like to display. There will be fun and games for the kids.
