N C. as found in White Family Bible last known to be in hands of a descendant in Tx. (??). Anderson as per family, at one point in his life prior to any marriage joined the Robinson Circus and toured around the country. His trick was to walk a tight rope and play the fiddle at the same time.. If he did this, it must have been early in life as he seemed to be connected either with farming or, perhaps was working at Jacob Franklin Byler's Gin in 1824. There are Oxford's / Byler's / Barrett ; Barnett; and Davis connected as well as some other surnames to Andersons line before and after. On the last day of May ( 30 th) 1825 Anderson White married to Mary Ann "Polly" Byler Davis. in Florence, Lauderdale Co. Al. Mary Ann first mar to Benjamin Davis and had five ch. , When Benjamin suddenly died and left Mary Ann with 5 ch. to raise. He had a substantial farm with slaves etc. which Mary Anne sold later.
