Robert A. Anderson,
Lexington-Durant, Mississippi,
lawyer
born in Middle Tennessee to parents
Thomas
Anderson & wife
Elizabeth
McCorkle (Anderson).
Robert appears in the 1850
Mississippi census as aged 31, with
wife Susan C. Anderson,
aged 23; their children in 1850 are listed as
Thomas Anderson (named
after his Tennessee grandfather), aged 4 months; and
Robert Y. Anderson.
Robert Y. Anderson was living in 1880 in Durant, Holmes County,
Mississippi. Other children’s names (of Robert A. & Susan C.
Anderson) listed in the census records are:
Mary L. Anderson;
Emily T. Anderson; Alfred M. Anderson; and Ruby Anderson (Ruby born
about 1871).
Please, do you
know anything about this family? Robert A. Anderson’s mother’s
parents were: Robert McCorkle of Rowan Co., N.C., and Elizabeth
Blythe, a daughter of Presbyterian minister James Blythe & Elizabeth
King Blythe.
I would be very
grateful for help.
Yours,
