Sally, Hi I am doing research on the Anderson's also. I have a GR Gr Gr Grandmother named Catharine Anderson from Tn her name was Elizabeth Catharine not sure of her last name or the name of her first husband. looks like he died before the 1840 census. Maybe after they first arrived in Mo.my direct line from Catharine is Melvina (Elvina) on one of the census with her siblings John ,James And Sarah Elizabeth.I have not found where or when Catharine or Melvina died. Do you think we have a match? Please let me know Thanks Merrilee
