Hello Ann, Thanks for the offer, but I do not have any specific questions at this time. My wife is a descendent of Quinton Anderson, one of the several brothers that came to Navarro Co. in the 1840s. Quinton is the only one that did not stay in Texas. He moved his family to Parker Co., TX, in about 1856, and then to Oregon in 1858. We do not know why he moved, other then possibly the Anderson/Love feud. As far as we know, all the rest of the family that went to Texas, stayed there. We visited Navarro Co. in March 2003 and met several Anderson descendents. At that time we purchased a copy of "Richland Crossing" and heard many of the family stories. We also had the pleasure of visiting the original homestead on Pisgah Ridge and the little family cemetery there. My interest in the Pursley Family is just in connection to the Anderson Family. There was at least one Pursley/Anderson marriage and we met a descendent of that marriage. He has been quite active in the Navarro Co. historical and genealogical societies in the past. Although he has now moved to Alabama.

We have a couple of Andersons buried on our place around 1870. They were Elijah and Ruth Anderson. One died in 1870 and the other either 1870 or 1876, hard to tell by the stone carving. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Cook [mailto:james.cook4@worldnet.att.net] Sent: Monday, April 26, 2004 12:33 PM To: TXNAVARR-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [TXNAVARR] Doolen-Jones-Pursley-Meaders Hello Ann, Thanks for the offer, but I do not have any specific questions at this time.
