This information that I'm giving out concerning my family is based on word of mouth without solid support. The furthest back that I can go back is related to my grandfather John Randolph Anderson, regarded as farmer, landowner, country veterinarian, and minister, and possibly a son of a slave. He married India (maiden name unknown), a practicing midwife and either all or part Native American and died right after my birth (1947). His birth year was 1869, in Louisa (Mineral), county, Virginia. My great grandparents are unknown to me on either said of the family. It is thought that one of his parents was of the Caucasian race, and there thought to be true). John and India had a son named believed to be Vivion (killed by a train). He had a brother Harvey Anderson. John and India had four daughters Barbara (lived and died in Mineral, Va.) married Charlie Yancey and sons John, Tom, Chet, Jim, Levi and daughters Elizabeth and Barbara. Emma another daughter (lived and died in Washingt! on, D.C.) married John Traynham and had two sons John and Lawrence. A third Mary Lisa married Willie Shelton and had three children India.Vivion, and Lula and the last daughter Harriet married James Henry and had three son Marion, James and Harvey (both Elizabeth and Harriet lived and died in Richmond, Va). My father was born to Sally Anderson out of wedlock, in the same general region. Nothing more is known of my paternal grandmother than she had more children. All news concerning my family would sincerely appreciated. Harvey R. Anderson eMail: [email protected]
