Dear Marilyn,
That was so kind of you to look up all that information. I am very grateful
to you. My John Anderson, I believe was Quaker and doubt he served in the
war. Although there are many John Anderson's who did. :+) I am at a loss
to figure out what happened to mine. He came to OH in 1799 and was dead by
1815. His sons were Mahlon, Gershom, Jonathan, John and Levi and daughters
were Rebekah, Abigail and Polly (likely - Mary) The only child who lived to
the 1850 census was Rebekah who said she was born 1784 in NJ. I was hoping
to find my John there at least for a little while. He was married to a
Deborah Swart but I can not find where or if she was the first wife??? The
first son born in 1772 and the second in 1780... So to eleminate one John
Anderson is good because then I will look somewhere else.
Again thanks for your kindness in going far beyond the call....

One thing I did on the census records of Ross Co. (Chillicothe, OH) was to
go to the 1850 census and write down the names of everyone I could find that
was born in NJ. Do you think that would be helpful to the members of this
list. I am new and do not know what has been done or what is desired. If
this is a little too far out, I won't send them. Your oppinion is welcome.
Thanks, Cinda
