Larry, I don't have very much info. on this family, but here is what I have: source: Anthony Roots and Branches compiled by Nancy Vashti (Anthony) Jacob, 1971. John A. Anthony, b. 1773, son of Rev. John Anthony, Jr., and Susan Austin, md. Mary Allen. Information on descendants obtained from: The Compendium of Am. Gen., Virkus, Vol. 4, p. 213, and Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Southern Arkansas, 1890. children: William A. Anthony, (1st child) b.1798, d.1866, in Miss. md. Sept. 12, 1842, Sarah Echols, d. 1852, VA reared 8 children. (NOTE: Only 3 children are listed: William L. Anthony, Virginia E. Anthony m. I.L. Harris, and Dr. H.L. Anthony m. (6) Miss Augusta Shelton of LA-no children.) (NOTE: The book, also, mentions a daughter of John and Susan Anthony: Sarah W. Anthony m. Dr. Joel Echols.) I descend from John and Susan Anthony's daughter, Susan, who married Thomas Fullilove Bennett 12 Oct 1812 in Campbell Co., VA.
