Can anyone tell me about a mysterious person named Anderson "Simmie" LANDERS b. 1832, who lived in Rutherford County? He may have left there for greener pastures in Greene County, Missouri, in the early 1850s. So far, nobody has been of any help. I am hoping that there may now be someone out there who knows about him. He did exist as I apparently carry his DNA. His father was Thomas LANDERS b. 1801 in NC. A.S. also used the last name of LANDERSON in both 1856 and in 1870. Can anyone help me understand why he would have used two last names other than dishonest reasons? Believe me, I want to know the truth, and nothing would hurt my feelings. Michael N. Walker
A few ideas came to mind; 1-the LanderSON name, could that be Irish or dutch, didn't they add "son" onto the end of their childs names or something. Maybe he dropped the "Son" part of the name for no other reason than to make it shorter and easier to say. 1-also check under the "S" because many times a cursive "L" and an "S" are mistaken one for the other. Just some ideas. Someone correct me on the number 1 above if incorrect. ----- Original Message ----- From: <MWalker724@aol.com> To: <TNRUTHER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, June 16, 2001 2:22 AM Subject: [TNRUTHER] A.S.
