Lenore, I really don't have any Ankrom lineage- only that Andrew J. Ankrom married my g-g-g grandfather David Garrison's daughter, Elizabeth. Andrew Ankrom was born in 1838, and died in Tyler Co. in 1917. He is buried in the cemetery at the Methodist Church in the village of Wick. Elizabeth was born in 1841, and died in 1871. She is buried in the same place. After Elizabeth died, Andrew married Mary Ella Bullman. Andrew and Elizabeth had four children, named David, Catharine, Nelson, and John. All were born in the 1860's. The Ankroms were one of the more prominent families in Tyler Co., and Ancrum was certainly one of the variations. You'll find lots of people in Tyler researching the same family. There was a book written about the family, sort of. It isn't so much a book as it is a collection of family group sheets. I don't have it, but you may be able to purchase it somewhere or find somebody on the list to do lookups. Thanks for replying, Brian Brian D. Core P.O.
