"The Coldwater Community of Elbert County"
 By: Clara Adam Stowers

Chapter Nine
The Andersons 

     Two  Anderson  brothers  were  among  some  of  the  early 
settlers of the Coldwater Community. It has not been determined
where these two men came from. (* Note:  recent  findings  show 
they were from North Carolina). Some  think  they migrated from 
Virginia   with  other  settlers,  since  they  occupied   land   sur-
rounded  by  lands  of  Billy Gaines,  Jeremiah  Warren,  Heirome 
Ganies,  and  John Johnston.
    One  of  the  Anderson  brother's  name  was  John;  his  wife's
name  was  Martha Tibbets. This  couple  lived  near the Double 
Branches, while the other couple ( *Note: James Anderson and 
Elizabeth Mobley) built their home farther north on a hill.
    Little is known of these Anderson families, as to weather they died 
while living on this land or moved to other sections of Elbert County 
( *Note: the later holds true), but the couple who bought this home-
stead were brother and sister. They were Martin (Mart), and Nancy 
Mobley, ( * Note: recent findings show they were the brother and 
sister of Elizabeth Mobley), whose ancestors were Irish. They were 
known by the Anderson families as "Uncle Mart" and "Aunt Nancy."
    The house occupied by the Mobleys was probably built by the 
Andersons. It was built of hand hewed logs with a "stick-and-mud" 
chimney. These chimneys were built in a pen-like fashion of poles or 
rails, then covered with mud both inside and outside. All cooking was 
done on the wide fireplace. Near the house were some very large 
cherry, peach, and pear tress, which bore the most delicious fruit.
    This brother and sister are perhaps the last people to be buried in 
the Old Harmony Baptist Church burial ground on the Old Brewer's 
Mill road on the south side of Beverdam creek. Old Harmony was 
moved to the present location on the Anderson Highway.
    After the death of the Mobleys this plantation came into possession 
of J. T. Anderson and has been in the Anderson possession ever since. 
The present owner is Jack Anderson.
   A relative of the first Anderson brothers visited them when he was a 
young boy. This youth was William Greene Anderson ( *Note: illegitimate 
child of Charlotte Anderson- sister of James and John, and for a while 
lived with James and Elizabeth), from the Beaverdam Creek section. (He 
probably never thought that someday he would own land joining that of his 
relatives.)
    When grown, William entered the War for Southern Independence. the
following is his Confederate Army Service record:
	Company I, 15th Georgia Regiment, Army of North Virginia
    " William Greene Anderson- Private, July 15, 1861. Wounded at Malvern 
Hill, Va. July 1, 1862. Surrendered at Appomattox, Va. April 9,1865. 
( Born in Elbert County, Ga. )"
    After returning from the war William married Sara Ann (Sallie) Bond of
 the Stenchcomb Community, where they lived several years before moving
 into the Coldwater Community. They bought the Rousey homestead near 
the old Johnston Mill on Coldwater Creek. this land bordered the estate of 
the two Anderson brothers William visited when he was a boy.
    In the family Bible are these records:
    William Greene Anderson, b. June 10, 1838; d. Feb. 20, 1914.
        m. Sara Ann (Sallie) Bond, b. May 25, 1848; d. May 22, 1934.
     Dau. Georgia Cornelia, b. Aug. 26, 1866; d. Nov. 25, 1945,
         m. J. T. Adams.
     Son, James Thomas, b. Aug. 28, ,1868; d. Jan 31, 1946
         m. Frances Sayer.
     Son, Walter Smith, b. Sept. 10, 1870; d. 1955; 
        m. Laura Perrin
     Dau., Ophelia A. , b. may 31, 1875, d. ____, 
        m. N. M. Motes.
     Dau., Lydia Farris, b. Dec. 17, 1879, (90 yrs. in 1970) , 
        m. Jubal Oglesby.
     William (Bill) Anderson was well respected by all who knew him.
William Carpenter, Peter C. Gaines and James Gaines, neighbors of 
his, said this of him: " Bill Anderson was the best natured man I ever 
knew. He was always ready to help a neighbor when called upon, and
was a faithful husband and father."
