Teresa Juanita HARTGRAVES
From a letter to Opal Lousin from Theresa Alkine, dated 9 April 1965, from Haddam, Kansas.
Dear Mrs. Lousin:
I'll try and get your letter answered hope I can be of some help to you in looking up the family tree.
Mother doesn't know her Grandfather Anderson's given name either, mother is the last one of her family living, she was the youngest.
She says she never knew very much about her pa's folks, but her grandfather was sick and wanted to go back to Iowa, to his folks, so her grandmother,Rosa, told him well, to then, and he did, he evidently didn't live very long after that and his wife Rosa Ann married again. She had three children by the name of Foskett, two sons, Christopher Columbus (Lum) and Napolean Bonipart and one girl, Iowa, she married Giles Hunt, they lived at Wichita, Kansas.
George Riley was a full brother of Allen Richard Anderson, mother says she doesn't remember any Robert but he must of been a full brother. I'm send you the names of the Myers family Aunt Etta's children and who they married.
If you would write Eva Huffman, her address is just Endicott, Neb. She
could give you the names of the children of the Myers family.
Grandpa and Grandma Anderson passed away when I was about 14, only ten
months apart, I was Staying with Grandma when she passes away, they were good
Christian people, I believe they used to be Quakers because my mother joined
the Quaker Church when she was 14 years old. Mother said she might write you. Hope to hear from you again, as ever, Teresa Alkine.

Elijah ANDERSON Sr.
Elijah Sr. from Hinshaw Quaker Rcds. Ohio Vol 5 pg 150, 8-31-1811, Recog. pg 471 ROCF Northwest Fork MM., Md, dtd 1807-7-2 also Center MM. Hinshaw Vol 5 pg 947 Reuben, Susannah, Elijah and Mary, Children of Elijah and Susannah Cain RECRQ 9-20-1823
Elijah was listed as settler in 1800 in Ohio and active in Ceasars Creek MM, Ohio and transferred to Green Plain MM where Susanna and children became
members also.
Elijah was active in both the Ceasers Creek MM and the Green Plain MM, which split off from Ceasers Creek. (Clark Co., Ohio)
Elijah had been received by the Ceasers Creek MM in 1811. He had been a member of the Nicholite group in Delaware and had to join by request.
Elijah was on committe to get a Meeting House, etc. for Green Plain MM.
4-22-1822 Susannah Anderson rocf on request at Green Plain MM
9-22-1823 Children of Elijah and Susannah Anderson, Reuben, Susannah, Elijah and Mary Jane rocf on request of father, Elijah.
1829 Susannah Andrews, formerly Anderson, dis mou.
In Elkhand Co., Ind. marriages of a Reuben Anderson and Mary Jane found.
Mary, Susanna Anderson and four children received in Caesars Creek MM Green Co., Ohio in 1822/23. Elijah had been received in 1811. He had been a member of the Nicholite group in Delaware and had to join by request.
Therefore, the children had to be minors or else they would have gone on their own certificates. Therefore, when were they all born and where?
Springfield was the County Seat of Clark Co., Ohio.
Elijah Anderson Sr., it looks as if most if not all of his brothers eventually settled in Clark or Green Co., Ohio. They had been born in Kent Co., Del to James and Ann (Clifton) Anderson - James died in 1791. James was son of James, d. 1763 and Elizabeth Brown Anderson. Elijah Sr., would have gone directly from Del to Ohio and I think was one of the very earliest settlers in 1800. (see notes of Hinshaw records under Elijah Jr.)
From a letter to Betty Homes by Opal, 6 Oct 1982, Elijah Sr. died in 1856 in Clark Co., Ohio and the rumor was that he was ill or Elijah Sr., was ill and Jr. wanted to go back. That would have been from Iowa to Indiana or Ohio. To catch him in a census in 1850 or 1860 is now about the only way I can get him because Indiana has closed its birth and death records unless I can twist their arms by going there. He was not in the 1850 census in Ohio with his father and mother but there was a Mary age 11 born in Indiana with them. I think this was a child of Reuben Anderson, our Elijah Jr's brother. I can find nothing further regarding Rosa Ann Bray Anderson Foscett after the 1870 Ringgold Co., Iowa Census.
NOTE from Opal Lousin, 3 Dec 1992. ...."Any will or record of death etc. for Elijah Anderson, Sr. should be in probate office for Clark Co., at N. Limestone & Columbia, Springfield, Ohio 45502.....
...Elijah Anderson, Sr. signed a petition in Ohio to Congress as did other Citizens of Territory regarding not to let speculators take the land they had settled. Elijah was not listed in the 1790 census for Delaware. He could have been missed...."
Also, found in the History of Clark Co., 1881, pg. 755, Madison Twnsp.,
Elijah Anderson is listed as an Elector, Poll book of an election held in Vance (Madiosn) township, Clark Co., Ohio April 6, 1818.

In 1981 Jan Clara and Archie stated that in the Clark Co., Ohio 1850 Census Elijah was living age 77, Susanna 72 and a Mary 11. I don't know who she was unless she was Reuben's dau. "Opal."
Note from Opal Lousin to Betty Holmes: In a book regarding Early Land Grants in Ohio, I found the names of John Anderson and Elijah Anderson where they signed a petition to Congres by Citizens of territory, settlers on Public Land between the Waters of the Muskingum and Scioto River in Northwest Territory Feb 20, 1801 - petition not to let land jobbers specutlate and take the land they have settled.
In a letter of Sept. 1989 Opal wrote: "Elijah died in 1758 in Clark Co., Ohio. He had been an active member of the Ceasars Creek MM., Ohio at Waynesville, Ohio but probably was living in Clark Co., Ohio at the time and when the Clark Co., (Meeting) was started and the Green Plain MM was started, he became a member there and was active, being a Clerk once which was an important position. I think some of his brothers lived also in Clark Co., and some in Green Co.

Elijah Anderson Sr. and it looks as if most if not all of his brothers eventually settled in Clark or Greene Co., Ohio. They had been born in Kent Co., Del to James and Ann (Clifton) Anderson - James died 1791. James was son of James d. 1763 and Elizabeth Brown Anderson. Elijah, Sr. would have gone directly from Del. to Ohio and I think was one of the very earliest settlers in 1800.
NOTE from Opal Lousin, 3 Dec 1992. ..."Elijah Anderson died in 1856 in Clark Co., Ohio, leaving wife Susanna (Cain) Anderson with very little earthly goods. I hope to get more information about him and that Green Plain MM from a correspondent in Ohio and will advise. He gave me the information about the "Will". There was a big split in the Quaker Church on account of slavery. Elijah was very much against it. In 1850 census for Ohio A2200 Clark Co. Elijah and Susanna are shown with a Mary age 11. I think there may be an error there and she might have been 41; otherwise she would have been a grand-daughter of one of the sons. This needs researching. Susanna was shown as 72 in 1850 census. Elijah as 77.
NOTE from Opal, 3 Dec 1992. ..."Clark County, Ohio - 1820 census, p. 006A shows Elijah Anderson of Madison Twp. This would show how many children they had by that time which was the first census in Clark Co. and probably in Ohio. Major Anderson is shown on page 016A in Greene Twp., Clark County. These at least we know about now."...

Bray Anderson, must not have been a widow for long, by divorce or his death,
before she married Foscett. The census was filed July 14, 1870. For her to
be 50 at that time or before means she must have been born in 1819 or early
1820 as ages were given on the last birthday.

HI Larry,
Gma also said we were Scot-Irish and we were never to wear Green on St Patrick's Day but wait until the William of Orange Celebrations and wear Orange as we were Protestants! I have the Anderson Tartan (which does not have orange in it!!).
I chuckled over the ideas of Elijah's disappearance. Knowing the strong willed spirit of my grandmother, I can almost hear what Rosa Ann was saying to Elijah, "No way will I move again" if he returned to Of course the idea of Elijah going off to California is possible as my GGGpa (George R) was born in 1845--the last of Elijah and Rosa's children.
I don't have an exact date of her marriage to Joseph Foskett (m. 1848?? Taylor Co, IA) except Napoleon was born 1848). Gma had a note that maybe he was possibly adopted by Foskett; Foskett (1796 MA; physician and they lived around Blockton, Taylor Co, IA). On Memorial Day we used to go to the cemetery in Blockton where she showed me the tombstones for her parents and siblings and her grandparents Cynthia Ann Williams and George Riley Anderson and their children and the Patricks but not of Rosa or Joseph Foskett.
The divorce idea could be true; as a young adult I finally asked my mother what happened to Great-Aunt Selma's husband (my Gma Patrick West's sister) and was quietly told they were divorced ages ago. Divorce was not something that the older members of our family did not talk about.
I have gone over your last e-mail (4-2-09) and agree some people do take information and suddenly place it on line. I have found misinformation placed on the Gen. programs with my father's families (I usually spot it with the spelling of my father's middle name or dates that are off). Ron and I had a correspondence with a distant cousin through our common great-grandfather's line who shared information but shut down quickly with both of us when pressed to verify the family information from NC/ VA. I am appalled that your uncles would try to SELL the information.
As I wrote earlier my maternal cousin Patrick and I (our mothers are sisters and granddaughters of Cora Anderson Patrick) are also looking through items and information carefully. His mother obtained the Patrick/Anderson papers and mine the West/Smith papers. His wife is retyping several of the documents and I have not received the copies yet. The papers I do have come from the typed documents I did for Gma and the notes and letters my mother had. (Gma thought it was time for me to do that after typing up family charts for Gpa).
When I looked on the LDS for Allen Richard Anderson I checked the details box and found two names: one is Debra J. Pickerell of Longmont, CO and Larry and Tanya Anderson S. 122th St, Omaha; then on several other branches the last name shows up. Are these related to us?
I don't have your data base. I am sure your information is the most accurate.
I use newest version of Reunion 9.7 for Macintosh. (Yes I got to have a MacIntosh, that Scottish Computer).

Rosa Ann BRAY
Was in a photo taken in 1890, the late Mrs. Joseph Foscett. Sent by Clara W. Anderson, Odell, Neb. Dec 92.
Also found as Rosy Ann and Rosanna. She was an active Quaker and her family had come from Cane Creek MM., S.C. to West Union to Salem MM, Henry Co., Iowa.
Listed in Morgan Co., Indiana Marriages: Rosanna Bray and Elijah Anderson (Issued) 20 Jan 1837
Obituary of Goerge Riley Anderson, her son, stated that the Foskett family, with him included, had gone to Jackson Twp. in 1857, with other of the Bray family?)
From notes of Opal Lousine, 6 Oct 1982 to Betty Holmes I can find nothing further regarding Rosa Ann Bray Anderson Foscett after the 1870 Ringgold Co., Iowa census. Her sons and dau. by second marriage went to Kansas or Ok.
Napoleon Bonaparte Foscett, Christopher Columbus Foscett and Rosa Iowa Foscett who married Giles Hunt, reportedly a GAR veteran. "Lum" stopped by Neb. and Kansas on his way to Wichita, Archie wrote once. These three would have been born 1848, 1857, and 1859 respectively in case you ever run across them in any census.
From notes dtd. Summer of 1981 of Betty Holmes and Opal Lousin: "Rosa was born in 1819 in Orange Co., Ind. following the birth of her brother Allen Richard Bray. They moved to Morgan Co., Ind. with his parents and younger
sisters were Abijah lost two children near Mooresville, Ind. and then in early 1840 moved at the same time as Elijah Anderson Jr. and Rosa to Iowa. Possibly some of Seth Wilson Bray's descendents can be found in Kansas as they orignially settled in Crawford Co., Ks. A desperate effort has been made to locate other Bray's in Iowa but no concrete evidence of any so far have been found unless a further search is made of the census reports which
unfortunately now are all in miserably prepared micofilms..."
From a letter of Opal's in Sep 1989, she wrote that she had an aunt Cora Anderson Patrick who was the oldest of the family and knew both her grandmothers and among her papers her daughter found the notation that Rosanna had died in 1890 but nothing futher. I have searched Ringgold, Taylor County records in Iowa and Worth Co., in Mo. for her death. Death records began in Iowa in 1880 but were not complete due to the funeral director's not turning in the information to the clerk of the County.
From a leter of Madessa Hartgrave, she had remembered seeing her as a little girl in Neb. She was living with her dau. Rosa Iowa Fawcett.
From note by Opal Lousin, 3 Dec 1992. ..."Missouri Division of Health, Vital Records, Jefferson City, Mo. 65101 (Unless they moved) may help search in some way or tell you whom to contact regarding Rosa Bray Anderson Foskett or the others in Missouri. There will be a fee probably. Also State Historical Society of Missouri, Hitt and Lowry Streets, Columbia, Mo. 65201 (May have moved to St. Louis area) or (Jefferson City) might help by searching their files of biographical material for all the counties in the state. The Missouri Historical Society is separate from the State Historical Society and is located in St. Louis. I have not had any luck getting any cooperation from them. They frown on out of state people."...
Betty Holmes and Opal corresponded concerning research for the resting place and date of Rosanna, ..."Since you have had records checked forNodaway Co., Mo. there is no point in doing it again to find death information for Rosa Foskett. Because you and I have checked Worth, Gentry and Nodway Counties, there is no point in doing them again.
I think it is most likely that Rosanna was living either with Giles and Rosa Iowa Hunt, or with Christopher Columbus Foskett or Napolean Bonaparte Foskett, probably somewhere in Missouri. If not found in the census there, the only suggestion would be to follow them to Kansas and Oklahoma - Seth Bray in Crawford Co. and I don't know where the letter from Giles Hunt came from but it was much later and they may have moved several times.
NOTES from Opal to Marjorie Metzger, 1971
My cousin said her mother remembered visiting Rosa Foscett and that she wore a little white apron and cap and that they were Quakers, her father having been a Quaker minister. I hope this is true because the Quakers kept quite an accurate record of births, deaths, and marriages of all the members of their congregations as well as removal certificates or dismissal (disownment) from the meeting.
Notes of Betty Louise Holmes of Fallon, NV, 22 Oct 2007 Rosa Ann was the daughter of a Quaker family but was disowned for her lively activities of dancing, playing cards and attending a weddingout of unity. She may have died in 1890. She appeared on the 1890 census of Smith, Worth Co., MO in the household of her son, Napolean Foskett.

HI Larry,
I picked up the mail late this afternoon and found the DVD.. I tried transferring the PAD files but it was going to be 204.MB (almost 34,000 pages when transferred)...OUCH
So I settled for the Anderson Descendents files which transferred to only 335 pages!!! Right now I am not planning on printing it out.
I did pick up an error...my great-grandmother Cora Anderson married William Henry Patrick (not William Edgar Patrick). I will fill you in later as I go over things more closely.
Patrick did find, in the Anderson/Patrick box his mother had, the document the our grandmother Beaulah found, where Rosa gave permission for George Riley to marry. He needs to scan it. (It had never been entered into the official records in Worth County--county seat was Grant City---Opal had thought Sheridan was county seat).
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU You really have a wonderful document. I didn't realize how much Opal had done and searched. I will be able to fill you in more on my tie in to the Andersons through George Riley's daughter Cora Anderson Patrick.
Ginny
Interesting about the possibility of Rosa being buried in Ravenwood (not RAVENSWOOD). We used to drove by it all the time going from the farm to Maryville......
Christopher Columbus FOSCETT
Columbus once visited his half brother, Allen and family in Kansas or
Oklahoma. Rosa Iowa may have died in Missouri but I find no death records for any of them in Worth Co. Opal Lousin.
Found by Larry Anderson, 20 Dec 2002
Found in the house of his brother, Napolian Fosket, 1880 census, Smith, Worth Co., MO. Living along with his mother, brother and family.
Abijah BRAY

02-22-1868 There is a record of Ann Bray gct Spring River MM Kansas. Cannot tell who this is, could it be Rosa Ann who had taken back her name by this time? She would have been in that area. Could have been any number of persons, including wives. Need to follow up with this meeting house for further records of these families.
It has been generally assumed that this Isabel Scott died in infancy but that does not seem to be the case, thus far all still point to dt. of John Wilson Scott and Nancy Keith.
Further evidence is that about half the children's names coincide with the children of John W. Scott and Nancy, a naming pattern which is by itself convincing. The other half of the names of children coincide with the Bray side of the family.
Arta Blonshine, 12184 W. Hickory Dr., Boise, ID. 83704 received May 5, 1991. She questions the lineage of Isabella Scott as being the dt. of John W. Scott and Nancy Keith. Part of her problem was that on the information which she went by was that I had transposed the marriage date for her birthdate which in itself would have made the case doubtful. However, she did point out several other Jones families which I have thourougly checked out and none other comes close to ours. Thus we return to the only conclusion of evidence as that of John and Nancy Keith Scott. On her records it clearly names her father as John Scott.
There is a John Scott and Rachel in the Indiana Quaker records but not the line of Isabella, still most likely related. In Heiss, Vol 2, pg. 27, 80 of New Garden MM, Union Co., Indiana. They were rcvd in mbrp 5-24-1817 but it does not say from where.

There is also a Jesse, minor in care of John and Rachel, 4-19-1828, son or grandson, see Dover MM pg. 201 Vol 2.
Arta Also noted "I notice the Orange Co., Ind. listing for Abijah & Isabell shows he was 16/26 as was Isabell, ...I also noted they had 2 children. I assume the Henry Jr., John & Edward listed in Orange Co. census are also sons of Henry Sr.
She also suggests that we look at John Scott whose parents were Joseph and Sarah. Also that Isabella was born about 1792-1802, possibly earlier & to check the Quaker records for her. She also suggested some other Scotts to look into as possible parents of Isabella.
I also checked the Scotts in the same census and the only ones I located in Orange Co. was Isaac Scott pg. 133 male age 26/45; 2 female 10; female 26/45 pg. 130 (Isaac) pg. 133.
Since both were in the same area and listed on the census pages to indicate they did not live far from the Bray families, to me it certainly suggests this Scott line of Orange Co. were likely Isabella Kin.
There is possibly another Scott in Orange Co. prior to 1820 since the wife of William L. Scott son of John and Nancy, was a Nancy Scott born 12 Apr 1797 in Tenn. and married William L. Scott in Orange Co., in 1816. Marriage records definitely show her maiden name to be Scott.
Have you written to Crawford Co., Ind. for a copy of Abijah and Isabella marriage license, or to Indiana for their death certificates they tell have had some kind of death record at that time. ...etc."
She also suggests that we consider a Martin Scott of Crawford Co., pg. 9006 as father of Isabella, he has 2 sons and 3 dau., Martin and his wife 56 yrs old. They could have had a dau. b. 1798-1802. In 1820 when the census taken John and Nancy had dau. Nancy, sons Martin and Samuel still at home. Nancy m. in 1821 in Ill. Martin m. in 1830, Samuel d. 1831 unmarried....
I have gone all these families and have proven at least that they are not the line of Isabell. It all points to the exact same family, John W. and Nancy (Keith) Jones.
Genelaogical Report of Findings by Opal Lousin, Aug. 4, 1986
We went to Mt. Pleasant, county seat of Salem County, Iowa and received a very warm welcome as we did in Mahaska Co. and Worth County... We went to Salem, south of Mt. Pleasant and saw the very large cemetery and walked over most of it. There is not Meeting House left at that cemetery, as usual - just a sextons quarter in a small building. The Meeting House is very new up in town. There was another cemetery northeast of the Meeting House. However, I can find no records of Abijah and Isabella (Scott) Bray's burials in the Quaker recors - only mentioning they cmae back to there in March of so of 1842 and died in June. The lady in charge of the Quaker records in Oskaloosa Yearly meeting said she ran across the information recently that Isabella lived a few days longer than Abijah. Therefore, since none of the older children died in any kind of epidemic, it is thought they became ill on the way back from Indiana and died from it or had had an accident. A son, Andrew, accoring to the Indiana Quaker Records, must have been born between 1840 when they came back from Salem MM to Indiana and when they left in the winter before March 1842. I have found nothing at all more about him and assume he may have died with them.
Abijah is listed in the 1840 census of Indiana.
From a letter of Jane Hartgrave, dtd. 29 Aug. 1958 to my father, Glenn Anderson, she writes concerning Abijah Bray: ..."My grandmother Andersons maiden name was Bray, I think mother said it was, her father weighed 300 pounds (grandmothers).
From notes compiled by Betty Holmes taken from Opal Lousin in 1981.
.."Abijah Bray and wife, Isabella and their children Abijah, Allen Richard, Seth, Ibby, Martin, John, Keziah, Ruth and Sarah went at the same time as Elijah Anderson Jr. and wife, Rosa Bray Anderson and their children, Allen Richard and Susanna, who had been born in 1839 and 1837 respectively, to Henry Co., Iowa where they stayed a short while in 1840, returned to Morgan Co., Iowa where possibly a son, Daniel, was born in 1841, if the Quaker records are accurate, and returned again to Mahaska or Jefferson Co., Iowa in the spring of 1842. Soon after we find in the records the children of Abijah Bray are referred to as "orphans" and so far no other records can be found as to the dates of their deaths. Some of the Bray children stayed in the Quaker Church, some were disowned for MOU, etc. Later joined another church with Seth and wife and family going to Kansas."...
Opal to Betty Holmes, From a letter to Betty Holmes by Opal Lousin, Aug 12, 1982: "... Abijah and Isabella must have died in the early summer of 1842. The country was overcome by Indians and there were skirmishes all the time together with slave problems crossing into Iowa from Missouri and since Abijah had already been quilty of mustering after the militia, possibly disaster of some kind happened, who knows. My grandfather, George Riley Anderson, was born in Iowa territory in Jun 1845, served in the Civil War - having gone with his mother and step-father and half brother Napoleaon Foskett to Taylor Co., Iowa in 1858, I can find absolutely no record of his brother Daniel b. 1842 or little before in Indiana and of course, we know about Allen who married in Keokuk Co. Just across the county line from where his mother had been living in Pleasant Grove Twp., Mahaska Co., Iowa where I foud all of them in the census of 1850. Their sister, Susanna m. Wm. Durbin of Ohio and stayed in Iowa ....
Opal Lousin, 3 Dec 1992, ..." I tried to get information from Clerk of Madison Co. Court, Richmond, Kentucky but they refuse to do any genealogical work and referred me to four genealogists. This was several years ago. The zip code is 40475 there.
1830 Morgan Co., Indiana Census:
Bray, Abijah 1 male under 5, 1 male 5-10, 1 male 10-15, 1 male 30-40;
2 females under 5, 1 f. 5-10, 1 f. 10-15, 1 f. 30-40.
Bray, John N. (probably Abijah's brother) - 1 male under 5, 1 male 5-10, 1 from 10-15, 2 from 15-1-20, 1 from 50-60 and 1 female under 5, 1 f. from 5-10, 2 f. 10-15, 1 f. 15-20, 1 female 40-50.
Abijah was listed on p. 470 in census records in 1830 Morgan Co., Indiana
Henry Bray, Sr. Hendricks Co., p. 238:
Edward Bray, Sr. Hendricks Co., pg. 240
Edward Bray, Jr. Hendricks Co. p. 144
John H. Bray Morgan Co. p. 470
William Bray Morgan Co. p. 472
Richard Bray Hendricks Co. p. 246
Joseph Bray Hendricks Co. p. 238
It looks as if Abijah and John were living together on same land or in same house again as was in 1820 in Orange Co.
1820 Census of Indiana
Abijah shows 1 male under 10, 1 male 16-25, 1 female under 10, and one from 16-25. (This listed elsewhere here).
Henry Bray, Sr. 1 female over 45, 1 female 26-44, 1 female16-25, 1 female
10-15, one male over 45. Edward Bray was 26-44, 2 females 10-15, 4 females under 10.
John Bray 1 male 26-44, 2 males under 10, 1 female 26-44, 1 female 16-25, 3 females under 10.
Henry Bray, Sr. died in 1830 and Keziah died in 1836. See Bray information. we do not have any Will for Henry and anything about land records. This should be in Hendricks Co., or Morgan Co., Indiana records. Possibly Carol Morrison got copies as they went there to study. Henry and Keziah are buried in Old White Lick Friends Cem., a mile west of Mooresville and has a good marker.
ABIJAH BRAY born in N.C. and died abt. 1842 in Jefferson CO., Iowa

Abijah Bray and family went to Salem MM, Henry Co., Iowa early 1840 back to White Lick MM, Ind. Later in 1840 where son died and another born. Back to Pleasant Plain MM, Jefferson Co., Iowa, where some children married contrary to discipline (mou) and stayed in chuurch and some were disowned and parents (Abijah & Isabella) evidently died between 1842-1847. No death records available. Insufficient records also.
8-12-1840 Abijah Bray and wife Ibby and children Seth, Wilson, Abijah Jones, Martin Riley, John Henry, Ibby Scott, Nancy Ann, Keziah Massesy, Ruth Jane and Sarah Elma rocf Salem MM, Iowa.
8-12-1840 Allen Richard Bray roc from Salem MM
8-16-1842 Abijah & family gct Salem MM, Iowa
9-12-1842 Allen R. gct Salem MM., Iowa
(This shows that the Bray family stayed in Iowa after moving from Indiana.)
Salem MM records in Henry Co., Ind. indicate that in their meeting they discussed the problems of the "orphan children of Abijah Bray" and on June 25, 1842 a committee was appointed to visit them for their help and encouragement. By September 1842 some of the girls were being married and there was no futher mention of Abijah and Isabella Bray in their records. It was as if there had been a tragedy or serious illness that caused their deaths to require the Quakers to refer to the orphan children. Therefore, I assume we can say they died in the spring of 1842 in Salem MM jurisdiction in Henry Co., Iowa. Seth Bray married and went with his family and sister, Sarah, to Spring Crove MM, Crawford Co., Kansas in April 1860. (around Wichita?)
Mahaska Co. Courthouse records do not disclose any death or divorce for Elijah Anderson and Rosa Ann Bray Anderson. It may have been missed or he may have left the area and died elsewhere and then she remarried to Joseph Foskett (Fawcett) by about 1857.
"I did not check for marriage of Rosa Bray Anderson and Joseph Foskett in Oskaloosa, Mahaska Co, Iowa." Opal Lousin...
From a letter to Jean, 22 July 1985:
Abajah Bray and wife, Isabella Scott went the second time to Henry Co., Iowa early in 1842 and then in June 1842 Quaker Minutes is where I found the grandchildren of "Abijah Bray are suffering". Some of their children had married soon after and within the next few years in Jefferson Co., Iowa. My great-Grandmother, Rosa Ann Bray Anderson, in 1850, was living in Mahaska Co. barely over the bornder from Keokuk Co. The Quakers have branches of their regular MM in order that people don't have to travel so many miles to attend church services and I think the Anderson's were supposed to attend one of the Pleasant Plain Preparative Meetings which reported to the Pleasant Plain MM in Jefferson County. Pleasant Plain was branched off from Salem MM of which Abijah and Isabella were members.
Now I am on the trail to try and get that one definite statement somewhere that Isabella Scott was definitely the daughter of John Scott and Nancy Keith. Isabella and Abijah were married late in 1818 or first part of 1819 most likely by Quaker ceremony but not according to their rigid rules in Harrison or most likely Orange Co., Ind.
Also, you will notice that some of her supposed to be siblings married into the Glenn family and some went to Osceola County, Iowa, which would not have been too far from Jefferson Co. except the transportation in those days would have made it difficult.
See chart sent by Treva Lefler prepared by Mrs. Margaret Bray, 10104 S. Glen Road, Potomac Maryland, 20854 dtd March 29, 1971. Chart shows date of birth as December 15, 1797.
Moved to Morgan Co., IN, White Lick MM, 25 Oct 1823
Resided in Henry Co., IA, Salem MM, 15 Jan, 1840; 16 Mar 1842.
Resided 12 Aug 1840, Morgan Co., White Lick MM, IN.
Isabella SCOTT
Also know as Ibby, Quaker Families, See Sumner Family History by George W. Moore. For date of birth, she was married and shows up as family with Abijah as going to White Lick MM, 10-25-1823, already with some family. Also received into membership, Aug. 26, 1820. See pg. 25 of Heiss Indiana Quaker Records, Vo. 5. It is generally assumed that this Isabel Scott died in Infancy, but is not the case.
Further, about half the children's names coincide with her own brothers and sisters, the other half with the Bray side.
Opal Lousin, 3 Dec 1992. ..."I really think that Isabella Scott was born to John Wilson Scott and Nancy Keith around 1800 in Pendleton District, now Anderson Co., S.C. and married Abijah Bray either just before the two families left KY or arrived in Orange Co., Indiana. Quaker records show he married out of meeting or unity and was disowned temporarily for that as well as mustering after the militia. At that time the Indians were on the rampage in Orange Co., Ind. which was just being settled."...
May have been born in Jackson Co., Tenn. and married in Orange Co.,
Indiana. The Scotts had probably been members of the Presbyterian church.
Jemimma Edith BRAY
Heiss Indiana Quaker Records, Vo. 5, pg. 291, Jemima Edith Bray, dt of
Abijah and Ibby d. 9-11-1839, buried in West Union MM.
See West Union MM notes of Heiss, pg. 44. West Union was set off from
White Lick MM and first held on the 16th of Fourth Month 1849. Located one
mile northease of Monrovia.
Abijah Jones BRAY
Heiss Indiana Quaker Records Vol 5, pg. 291. West Union had been a part
of White Lick, so the family did not have to move to become part of this
meeting.
Andrew BRAY
A son Andrew, according to the Indiana Quaker Records, must have been born between 1840 when they came back from Salem MM to Indiana and when they left in the winter before March 1842. I have found nothing at all more about him and assume he may have died with them. (Opal Lousin)
Daniel C. ANDERSON
From records of Opal Lousin, Chicago, Ill. 1986.
Census was taken 14 Oct 1850, dwelling #208, family 209 household.
From a letter from Jane Hartgraves, Aug. 29, 1958: She writes: pa had a brother Daniel they said died in the Civil War, but Arthur saw a Robert Anderson in Topeka he thought might be related and his father settled in Mo. after the war, but if it was Daniel he never let his folks know where he was.
Must check Civil War records to verify this.
Census was taken 14 Oct 1850, dwelling #208, family 209 household. Also according to Ellery and Ruth Anderson of Yakima, Wash. Jun 1992, Daniel was married 8 Aug 1863, in Worth Co., Mo. but no further information as to names, etc.
From notes from Opal Lousin dtd Dec 1992: George Riley was in the Civil War, Allen Richard was not. ..."I had checked the war records for their brother, Daniel C. Anderson, and they did not have anything apparently because they sent me information about Daniel M. Anderson which looked as if he could have been our Daniel but it was not. Neither George nor Allen evidently kept track of Daniel C. (according to Rosa's inforamtion on one of the census records) or their sister Susannah Durbin. All of them lived together in Mahaska County in 1856 in Union Twp. Allen was 19, Daniel 14, George 10, Napoleon Foskett 7, Susan Durbin 18, Rosanna 36. The Census of August 1850 showed Daniel C. Anderson. Neither Allen, so far as I know, nor my George kept track of either of them and no one in my family even knew there was a sister Susanna. Once Allen must have borrowed some money from Susanna's husband, William Durbin, because Archie sent me a zerox copy of Allen's writing of that inforamtion. Allen, Daniel, and Susanna were received back into the Quaker Meeting in good standing after their parents were disowned in about 1846.
After that I do not know anything about their church records. Iowa was in Indian Territory when my grandfather was born in 1845 in Jefferson County. Only George went with 1/2 brother Napoleaon and Rosa and Joseph Foskett to Taylor County where they were shown in Taylor County, in 1860. Susannah and her family may have stayed in Iowa but I did not try to follow the census records farther than 1860 (See later). Neither did I try to get census records for Allen in Iowa after 1856 or so.
I am enclosing a copy map of Mahaska Co., Iowa which shows the area where the family lived northeast of Oskaloosa. I went to that cemetery on the grounds of the original Quaker Church - Spring Creek - and found the place
where the building stood. Eli was the brother of Elijah the first who had married Susanna Cain. We must be very careful when working on the records not to confuse Eli's son Elijah in Indiana and Iowa with our own Elijah. there was an Elijah Anderson in Henry Co. and I got excited when I found it in the county records but it was definitely not our Elijah. Therefore, I do not know anything about our Elijah after he left his family. There is no record of any divorce in Mahaska Co. I am not sure of any death record, as I think I did not ask for that or else they didn't have it. One of you SHOULD PURSUE THIS.
There is no record in Jefferson Co. of him (See later.) I think I checked Henry County's records and found nothing about him either."...
...."The Daniel Anderson who was a private in Co. F, Reg. 11 Iowa Inf. in the Civil War was born in Washington Co., Iowa and is not our Daniel C. Anderson. He enlisted 23 Sept. 1861, re-enlisted 1-1-1864 and out July 5,
1865. Don't do this one over."...

You are quite welcome and I wish I had more. The 1st Infantry Battalion was made up of 6 units, (3) 2nd Alabama Companies, (1) Florida, (1) Georgia and (1) Tennessee. Try contacting the National Parks Service with that information you have and see what records they have. They listed him in Co. C so they must have something to help you along.

Thank you for the quick and courteous reply. Was hoping there might be roll calls, sick calls, rather wounded, how discharged, captured, etc.? A secret in the closet. One brother joined the northern armies, the other south, the other stayed out. Only fragments known and this Daniel was never heard from again, how sad, perhaps typical of the times.

Larry, This is the only information I have available to me about your Uncle. On our website, we list a link to the Federal site site, but as far the the Film Number M818, Roll 1, I am not sure what that consists of. I did a search for Confederate soldiers named Daniel Anderson, but only one showed Forney's unit and had the middle initial "C". That said, he may have reenlisted with a state unit without a middle initial. Some of me research leads me to believe that men changed and tweaked their names to leave one unit and join another, sometimes because the grass was always greener or perhaps friends in the new unit. All they list publicly is that Daniel C. Anderson entered and exited a Private of Company C, 1st Infantry Battalion, Forney's Regiment. That is abut the best information and starting point I can give you. Jim Hare
