| Welcome to the Jacob Anderson Family Home page redone. On this page, I hope to include a short family history of the known Andersons in my line of research. I also plan to discuss the new Anderson Family DNA project that I started last year that has already been of considerable help to some of our testers already and has the potential to help us all. Started 6 -2004 That is, if I can figure our how to add text information? In April of 2003, I started the Anderson Family DNA project. The purpose of this project is to store DNA results in a manner that can be compared to other Anderson DNA results in hope of finding/proving/disproving family connections within the many Anderson lines accross the world. Currently we have 32 members that have tested and we have made some very good finds for some and for others like myself, we are still sitting and waiting for a match with someone out there in the world. I think that this is a very good aid to people interested in continueing their family genealogical studies. If you are interested in what this project might do for you, please go to www.familytreedna.com and read a bit on what is going on. Or you can contact me at handers@chartertn.net and I will try to answer your questions about the project. As time permits, I will be listing our family DNA numbers here for storage and comparison but it can already be found on my web site www.geocities.com/herb194/index.html. Herb My known line of descent is Jacob b 1779; James b. 18??; Jacob b 1847; Roy Lee b 1889; Robert Lee b 1920; Herbert Anderson b 1950. Jacob Anderson was born in Virginia in 1779. He was married twice (Nancy Richardson and Barthena Bull) and had several children. He and his second wife (Barthena)settled in the area that is now Scott County, Tennessee. It is unknown when and where Jacob died or is burried but it is said the Barthena is buried where her cotton patch was. Some think that that is in the Anderson Cemetery near where they lived. Their eldest son James was born in Scott County, Tennessee and married Sally Trammell and they had __ children. James was a Ranger in Scott County and later a deputy sherrif. Jake was born in Scott County and he married Mary Davis of Whitley County, Kentucky and they raised their children in Scott County. In later years he and Mary moved to Harlan Kentucky to work in the mine. Jake died there and is buried in an unmarked grave in a cemetery between Walkertown and Harlan Kentucky. Mary was moved in with her son (Roy) and his family until her death and she is burried in Coopers View Cemetery in Campbell County, Tennessee. Roy was born and raised in Scott County. He was in the Army during WW1 and after the WAR he married Pearl Howard Johnson and they lived their lives in Campbell County, Tennessee. Roy was a timber surveyor, farmer, and worked in saw mills. He and Pearl are burried in LaFollette, Tennessee. Robert (RL)was born in Caryville, Tennessee (Campbell County). He married Naomi Bryant of Byington, Tennessee (part of Knoxville). They moved off to Dayton Ohio for work and worked there 11 years or so then returned to Campbell County in 1958 to raise their children on a farm on Pine Crest Ridge. They are burried at the Indian Creek Church Cemetery on Pine Crest Ridge in Campbell County, Tennessee. I am the Anderson family DNA project administrator and the Jacob Anderson family reunion President. I married Portia LeMarr of LeFollette, Tennessee and we now live in Rogersville, Tennessee. |
