Hi Larry,
Just as I was closing down my files...
I have a note on Napoleon B from Gma West that he was possibly adopted by her second husband Joseph Foskett (shown as Napoleon B. Foskett later in census.) Napoleon was born in 1848 Taylor Co, IA ..died 1892 (no place shown) while his siblings Rosa Iowa was born in 1857 and Christopher Columbus was born in 1859 both born in Taylor Co IA but not other information on them..

HI Larry,
With school coming to a close (OK seniors five more days and the others have 14 more... today is the first time to go back on line. Wow---the Anderson line gets more complicated all the time.
I really searched out the LDS information starting with your gggrandfather Allen Richard and then got caught up with all of the Keith Line and then saw a branch to the Kings of Scotland... ant then became a bit overwhelmed.
In American lines and closer generations--you will love this....[I am viewing these for almost the first tie: :)...]
Some of the LDS lines show some children with Elijah Anderson (Patrick and I call him Senior!) with wife Susannah Cain and others with Mary Thatcher and several are listed with both mothers. My Gma Patrick West had the wife of Mary Thatcher where some of the same children are listed along with our line of Elijah (Junior)-- and also had listed Susannah Cain as another wife. (maybe Opal had given the information).
Elijah Sr's children listed by both mothers are Susannah, Elijah Jr. (18 Jun 1817 to abt 1848), Joel P and Mary/Mary Ruth.
Children shown with only Mary Thatcher are "Daughter," Thomas T and Eli (who had dates of 31 Jan 1825 to 27 Apr 1847).
The only child for Susannah Cain is Reuben (and his birth date is listed as abt 1815 while Thomas T (listed as Mary's son) had a birthday of 2 March 1815--could they have been twins??

I did see several of Allen and George Riley's siblings and their children with ties to Jefferson Co, NE. When I stopped at the Steel City, NE Cemetery, I took pictures of the list on two walls with the Andersons' who are buried there. As I was looking specifically for Frederick Edgar's burial place, I did not go around the cemetery taking pictures. The list states the sections and rows of the specific tombstones (I need look to see if those are posted on the Jefferson Co Historical site. I need to get the photos transferred to jpgs and will read what shows up.
A granddaughter of Napolean Foskett was living in Kansas City, Beaulah West
had communicated with her, Beaulah was a cousin to Opal Lousin. Opal added,
but she did not give me her name so that I, too, could correspond. She
apparently did not care to know more, as I guess it.
Betty Louise Holmes, notes 22 Oct 2007, has Hunt instead of Hart? Have to find out which with source. Larry Anderson, 23 Oct 2007 Betty sent me a picture of Aunt Iowa Hunt, all I have to go on at this time. Larry Anderson 31 July 2012
Giles and Rosa Iowa supposedly lived in Wichita, Kansas.
Suspect another son was Charles, only because rarity of name, place and similar names of children. Something to look for. Larry Anderson 25 Aug 2012

Report of findings, by Opal Lousin
After their dismissal (from Quaker Church), Allen, Susan and Daniel were recieved back into the Meeting at direction of the original Meeting - White Lick MM of Morgan Co., Ind. (Susan or Susanna) I have tried to find Daniel in
hopes we could find some record of his father as he may have gone to him. The 1856 census for Mahaska Co., Union Twp., at the northern part of the country, (Durban) age 20 in Iowa 8 years, born Ohio, and a farmer with his wife Susan (Formally Anderson, of Course). Then the Fosketts with George Riley Anderson and Napoleon Bonaporte Foskett moved to Clinton (Co., of Ringgold) Twp., and were listed in 1870 and then included Rosa Iowa Foskett age 13, Columbus age 11, and Napoleon age 21. By then George Anderson had married and was with his own family. My cousin Beaulah West, now deceased had found the slip of paper in Worth County, Mo. showing their marriage (George-Cinthia) but the paper had disappered by the time I was there and only the record in the book was there.I wanted to see Rosa's signature and make a zerox copy of it.

Confused at this point, until more info is submitted, perhaps by Opal Lousin, another record gives husband as Patrick Williams, so is it Patrick or Edgar Patrick Williams, or Patrick Edgar Williams, or?
Might check the Rose Hill Cem. where her parents were buried. An earlier record we have stated that Cora was born in Blockton, Iowa.
Record also states he was born in Blockton, Iowa and died in Blockton,
Iowa. Apparently did not have any children.
This person, wife of Allen Richard, was given as the same as his sister. That gives me great doubt so I deleted the info as to her being the same person, dates, places of birth, etc. as Mary, sister to Allen Richard, Jr. (Larry Anderson)
Shoe maker
There were two other children of Mary Ann and Claude Little who died young.
Information as received 27 April 2000 from Gem Ramirez, over E-Mail: Gem_i_m@yahoo.com on the family of Claud and Mary Ann Anderson LITTLE.
She wrote: "George and Wilma Little's daughter Mary Margaret Little is my mom. --- I am in touch with a descendant of Socrates Williams. Socrates was Cynthia Williams ANDERSON's brother. This descendat has been in touch with someone from the ANDERSON line though because he has obituaries and stuff from George Riley, Cynthia and a number of their children.
Mary and Claude moved to Colorado about 1910. My grandfather, George Allen, was born in Nebraska somewhere on the way from MO to CO. Tehy settled in Fort Collins, Colorado. Claude was a shoe repair man. May Ann died of kidney failure in 1920. Cluade moved to Portland Oregon a few years later. Claude remarried, Eva Cox, but she had chidlren from a previous marriage and they never had any offspring together. George Allen LITTLE graduated from Grant High School and went on to Monmouth College, which is where he met Wilma Flemming. Their chidlren were:
Robert, he lived 11 days.Gerald (uncle Gerry lives here nearby in Springfield, OR)
Gordon Willis (He died in a car accident his senior year in HS)
Mary Margaret (My mom is a widow. She lives at the beach in Waldport, OR)I will send some stuff. Then I will fix my GEDCOM file and anything else so I can sent it to you. I look forward to hearing all about the family.

Born near Steele City, Neb.
See notes under Elijah, Jr. also for note from Opal concerning Carol Morrison research and dates of death and birth of James and Ann.
"Carol said that James was b. 1733 and died Feb. 12, 1791. The birth date has to be wrong. She said Ann Anderson was born 1738 and died Oct. 22, 1804. I doubt this for a birth date, but should be checked. We do not know her death date otherwise."...
There is an Anderson bible in the Rare Book Library known as Tutt Library in Colorado Springs, Colorado according to Carol Morrison. From what Carol Morrison wrote that she had heard about it there are a lot of errors so you
should copy the information, Larry, if you get there to see it. However, it needs to be checked and verified a lot before using the material. I simply do not believe that Elijah, Sr. and Susanna could have had all of those children she listed. The names are not familiar either and even our Elijah, Jr. was not on the list. A correspondent of mine attempted to see the bible but she did not have enough information and they would not search the boxes of material they had. It was given to them by Elton Pounds of Kansas, (Smith Center, I think). You have to know this to make them look for it."...Several of our families joined the Nicholite or New Quaker movement.

Agreed by Meeting of Friends assembled together on the 5th day of 12th month A.D. 1771. Rules agreed to signed by others including James and Ann Anderson.
Rules 1-1-1793 Regarding moving away need certificates. etc. Member should stand up at a regular meeting when speaking so only one can speak at a time. Any person holding a slave is not to be admitted to be a member. No member go to law with a member except some urgent necessity or with others until attempt to go to terms.From a letter written to Opal by Kathleen Tyler, 795 Louise Drive, Xenia, Ohio 22 Oct 1979. She, apparently is, or was, researching the Anderson families. She inlcudes references to a book, "Joseph Nichols and The Nicholites: A Look at the "New Quakers" of Maryland, Delware, North and South Carolina" by Kenneth Lane Carroll and pulbished by 1962, The Eastern Publishing Co., Easton, Md. On page 25 it included:
...."James and Ann Anderson and Paris and Margaret Chipman, all living in Kent County, Del., had freed their slaves in April and May of 1766, but no more Nicholites seemed to have followed their example." It also says that William Anderson freed five slaves on 12 Aug. 1767. Part V is abstracts of Wills, only about 27 all told, and of course, James Anderson's. Some from Caroline Co. and some from Kent Co. Part II is marriages, 61 given, only Anderson is William Anderson of Kent Co., Del., and Ann Causey of Caroline Co., m. 8-31-1791.
Parr I is birth records. Part III is a short history of Joseph Nichols died in 1770 and in 1774 a small group of 14 men and 3 women organized as a religious society and among those were James and Ann Anderson. They apparently died out by 1800 and the members joined the Quakers or Methodists.
....My Daniel Anderson was a Methodist and came to Greene County in 1806. I would lobe to find the name of his first wife and the names of his other children. Of course some of them may have died young. I cannot even find
where Daniel is buried, only know the neighborhood and where Daniel is buried, only know the neighborhood and where he lived.It may also be worth looking a connection with another Quaker family and those families which associated together for several ensuing generations, such as the Hiatt families. I have found a James Anderson who was a witness to the will of William Hiatt, about 1760 period, and whose son, James Jr. associated with the Quaker family of Hiatt's and went into Ohio with John Hiatt, Jr. The story was that these families first attemted to locate in Ohio in the later 1700's but were driven back because of conflicts with the Indians. They returned to the Virginias and later removed again to Ohio. These families, inlcuding our James Anderson and his brothers, were in the same meetings with these Hiatt and other related families. We also see the name of Anderson appearing in names such as Anderson Hiatt, James Anderson Hiatt, William Anderson Hiatt, etc. These families also removed to Ohio, Indiana and as far as to Iowa and later, on to Kansas and Nebraska together. Of course, many of the associated families, such as Bray, Beals, Jones, Davis, etc. find their way into these families. There also was a Susannah Anderson who married John Hiatt (abt. 1770) and removed to Kentucky about 1787 from Vir. and N.C. In these families there were several such names involving Anderson, as above. See Hiatt Family History by William Perry Johnson.
Opal Lousin to Betty Holmes, 6 Oct 1982:
"I used the Probate Records of Kent Co., Del. to get the first inforamtion to the Anderson line and think I copied off all that pertained to the Andersons. With these leads I sent for copies of the Wills and also found the maiden name of some of the women in the family. There is a book on New Castle Co. Wills also which I used but don't think any of them apply to us.
Most of the children of James and Ann ended up in Ohio. His will also lists John and Ann Callay.
James must have displeased his father somehow, as he was essentially denied any inheritance except for an amount of seven shillings and six pence."From Betty Holmes, 1981 - ..."James, our ancestor, married Ann Clifton, dau. of Thomas who must have been a big land owner and apparently wrote his own long "Will", which was unusual in that day. James and Ann (Clifton) Anderson became interested in Nicholites religion which was even more strict than the Quaker religion at that time and freed the mulatto slave which she had inherited from her father, who by that time was a widower, so we do not kwow the name of her mother. James Anderson must have been very poplular among the people in his locality because we find his name on several wills, including that of Joseph Nichols - founder of the Nicholite religion. After Nichols death the Church broke up and the members joined two of the Quaker churches just over the border in Maryland. The family lived near Marshy Hope Delaware. The children were John, Isaac, Daniel, Elijah, (our line) Major, Eli, Ann Callay, at least. James died in 1791 and Ann died before 1807. Some of the sons are listed in the 1800 census of Mispillion Hundred in Delaware..."

James Anderson deceased
7th March 1791Personally appeared before me, Francis many, register for the Probate of Wills and granting letters of Administration in and for the County of Kent, Ezekiel Anderson, one of the witnesses to the foregoing instrument of writing who upon solemn oath and Abrahm Kimmy who upon his solomn affirmation do say that they and each of them saw James Anderson the within named testator sign, seal and heard him publish pronounce and declare the same as and for his last will and testament that at the time of his so doing he was of sound disposing mind, their names as witnesses saw Unisey Cain sign her name by way of making of her mark as one other witness thereto. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand at Dover the 7th day of March, Anno Domini 1791. Francis Many, Francis Many, Regr. Recorded in Book M, folio 267.
NOTE: (Opal Lousin) I have translated this will into modern language and proof read it so that it has the same meaning. It was very difficult to read due to the writing, spelling, unusual wording, paper, ink, and crossouts.
From a letter of Opal dtd. Sept. 1989: "James Anderson, Jr. and wife, Ann Clifton became Quakers in the Nicholite branch through friendship with Joseph Nichols, the founder. After Joseph's death, they broke up and the few members joined hte Northwest Fork and another Quaker meeting. Some of those children of James Anderson, Jr. did not stay Quakers, e.g. Daniel who also went to Ohio.
It took a little more doing to get into the regular Quaker Meetings after having been members of the Nicholite branch which was extremely strict. Ann Anderson had manumitted her mulatto that she inherited from her father, Thomas Clifton, and Elijah must have felt the same because there were three branches of Quakers in Ohio and he and Susannah were members of the branch which was anti slavery. Even though some of the Meetings were in Maryland it didn't mean that they actually moved bodily."
Opal Lousin, 6 Oct 1981 to Betty Holmes
..."The one I cannot zerox is that of Thomas Clifton who was more Scotch, I think, than I because he wrote on both sides of the page and I feel it is in his own handwriting. It is a long one. His wife had died before him and he had a house keeper to whom he left something. The ink in those days as well as the paper was so different from now that his Will is quite blurred. I think recently I located the Will of his father, Robert Clifton of Susex County. Therefore, there is a book available somewhere, but not through National Gen. Society that I believe is named "Some Records of Sussex Co., Del. by Charles H. B. Turner, F172.S8T7 which is regarding the association of families and their relationships in Kent and Sussex Counties. If you see it please watch for any of our lines."....."The first Clifton now is Robert Clifton who died before Thomas was of age in 1720, leaving wife Ann, sons Thomas and Benjamin and daughter Sarah. Robert was of Sussex Co., Del The other names in the family are Brown, (James II's wife was Elizabeth Brown), and Cain (Susannah Cain m. Elijah Anderson, Sr.)

From Betty Holmes and Opal Lousin. "Reuben married Hannah and for some reason was dropped from the Quaker Church and they moved to near Crawfordville, Ind." Opal Lousin reports from Quaker records: Elijah was disowned, out of unity, by the Quakers, one story is that he was fond of playing music out of line with the religous order. He reapplied and was admitted and his children continued with the Quakers.
