Yes that is true. I have visited the cemetery - it is grown over with the worst kind of brambles. After Anson died he married Amanda McGlothlin. After Anson died Amanda married James Matthew Klaiber who is my husband's grandfather.

Anson's parents were born in New York. He married Mary Jane in Lawrence County, Ohio. He appears on the 1871 Boyd County Militia list.
