Full name: Elisabeth Lott Anderson Joiner
Contrary to many sources, Elisabeth was not the child of Mark Lott (1769–1813; Memorial# 12779679) & Judith Delilah Jones Lott (1771–1848; Memorial# 63230740). Their daughter Elizabeth Lott Peterson lived 1793-1848. However, there were numerous Mark Lotts. Notice that the Mark Lott described above died 3 years before our Elisabeth was born in 1816. The "correct" Mark Lott who was her father was born in 1772, and his grave is unknown.
Elisabeth married 1) William C. Anderson (1825-1862) on Dec. 28, 1843, Calhoun County, AL. William was the son of Philip Anderson (1800–after 1860) & Elizabeth Lynon Anderson (1804–after 1870 in Clay County, AL), who married Nov. 24, 1819, in Madison County, GA.
Seven children:
• Mary Elizabeth Anderson Mills (1844-1930)
• James William Anderson (1846-1926)
• Margaret Isabelle Anderson Joiner (1849-1935)
• Mark Philip Anderson (1851-1938)
• Wiley Timothy Anderson (1856-1938)
• Ruben Jasper Anderson (1858-1939)
• Eliza Anderson (dates unknown)
William's letter, dated December 19, 1861, camp near Evansport, Va, is shown at left and transcribed as follows:
Tell Safrona _____ that Gid has sent her forty dollars in a letter by C.P. Sisson and she must write when she gets it. Dear wife, I can say that I am looking very much for a letter from you to answer the first one I wrote from Evansport. I have received the one you sent to Richmond for which I answered forthwith as you will see when you get it. Dear wife, the money I send you use it if you need it and if not, keep it for you may need it some time if I never get back for which I hope to be spared to return some time, although I may never return again for there is several of the boys that have gone the way we must all go sooner or later. There is W. B. Wicker, Z. Buckhalter and three others in our company which you don’t know. I will say I don’t know whether you would know me or not for I have not shaven clean since I left home in October.
Dear wife, do the best you can for yourself. Tell the children to keep themselves in credit for if they lose that, they are done. Wife, I expect to send my letters without paying the postage for the stamps is hard to come at here. I can say my coat that I fetched from home has growed so that it is so little that I can’t wear it. Tell all my friends to pray for me and that I may return home again and see them all. So I will close this and may interest you more in the next which is to write after this.
I remain your loving husband till death,
Wm. C. Anderson to his wife Elizabeth Anderson
