Frances Gibbs of Franklin, Williamson Co., Tenn. was my husband's aunt. She was the daughter of William Anderson who was the son of Robert Drake Anderson who was the son of James Anderson. My previous message gives the children of Robert Drake Anderson as found in the 1880 Census. Frances and I shared a love of family history. Matter of fact, she is the one who got me interested in it. A few years ago, she gave me copies of some of her research material. Also, she may have given her papers to the genealogy group in Franklin, Williamson Co., TN that maintains a genealogy library in the basement of the old post office building. I forget the name of the organization, but have it here somewhere. Valerie
