Debra, Thanks for the info. I am thinking that Lewis ANDERSON may be a cousin to my Anderson BROWN or something. Since my Anderson BROWN was named Anderson as a first name, I am thinking that maybe his mother was an ANDERSON, but I have no idea how my BROWN's connect. Just grasping at straws I suppose. Maybe the ANDERSON family were good friends of Anderson BROWN's parents, who knows?
