W. G. Anderson (age 25) and his wife Nannie J. (22) were both born in Kentucky. They first show up in Mississippi in the 1860 Federal Census, living near Concordia, Boliver, Mississippi. In the household with them are J. B. Anderson (35), Martha Anderson (6 mos.) and W. G. Cheatum (8), and Niles Sisson (43). All are listed as being born in Kentucky, with the exception of Niles who is a machinist from Pennsylvania.
---------------------------------------
The 1870 Census finds them living in Popes Station, Panola, Mississippi. W. G. and N. J. are both listed as 32 years of age. Martha is listed as "Mattie" and is age 10. Additions to the family are Garland (7) Hattie (7) and Ben (2). From the ages it appears that Garland and Hattie are twins. Martha "Mattie" is now listed as being born in Mississippi, not Kentucky as in 1860.
---------------------------------------
There have been big changes to the family by the 1880 Census. They are still in Panola County. W. G. is now 45 and Nannie W. is now 42 so their ages are back on track.
Mattie is now 19 but the twins are not twins afterall with Hattie (Hettie) being 17, but Garland lost 2 years, coming in at age 15. Ben is no longer listed. He should be 12. The newcomers are Henry (10) Robert (9), Daisy (7), Birta (Berta) (5) and as they say "last but not least" is Clarence, age 2.
