Anderson who died on Jan. 14.1911 in the home of Mr.& Mrs. J.J. Griffin in Pierce Station, Texas. Pierce Station is now Pierce, Texas in Wharton Co. I am trying to find out who C.C. Anderson parents/siblings were. I have some information that tells that C.C. was born in MS then information tells me LA. Jacob and Ella "Callie" Griffin had a broading house in Texas City as well as Pierce, Texas. According to a 1910 Texas Cenus C.C. Anderson was in the house hold of Jacob Griffin in Wharton Co, What is the connection between the Anderson's and the Griffin's? I have been told that Jacob was the 1st Sheriff for Texas City and before that Texas City Marshall. The Griffin's are buried at the Asher Cemt. in Mound Creek, C.C. Anderson is buried at the Sample Cemt. in Smiley, Texas beside his wife Mary Goldman. Mary died in 1901. Any help will be greatly appreaciated. Thanks for the help. Mary Smithey MARY@tca.net
