Hi,Andersons of Anderson 640 Ranch and Anmderson Steam powered thresher lived near Johnsville, some in Duffau and Plainview. I attended school with Clinton and Dewqayne Anderson. Bordner Anderson was a childhood friend and some of his family are buried in Selden Cemetery, including a Cornett and a Hammic or Hammack who were Hatchett Kin. Before these Andersons left Illinois their name was Andersen- The German spelling. Rigs families of Waco and Erath County came rom Illinois to Erath County about the same time as did the Andersens. Ratliffs were Cattle truckers and traders in 1920-1940 era. Charles A.
