Born in Warren County in 1838, he was the son of Martin Anding and Celeste Dunn. His parents were married in Warren County, Mississippi, 1 March 1836 (Warren County Marriage Book E:102).
Martin, the father, is found in Warren County in the 1830 census. In 1839, he purchased Wood Lawn plantation in Yazoo County from Bradford Davis (Yazoo County, Deed Book H:606). In the 1840 census the family is living in Yazoo County, Mississippi. Mr. Anding acquired large land holdings and wealth. He served as the postmaster for the Lincoln, Yazoo County post office from 1843-1846. He died 5 February 1848 and is buried near-by in the Fairview Plantation cemetery.
Celeste and her son, Martin, are enumerated in Yazoo County in the 1850 and 1860 Censuses. Martin is age 13 in 1850. He is age 22 in 1860 and is listed as a "planter" with $60,000 in real estate and a personal estate of $120,000.
Captain Anding joined Co. H, 29th reg, Mississippi Volunteers, but was forced to resign his position 13 March 1863 due to ill health (as found in Fold3). His substantial contributions to Co. K, Wirt Adams Cavalry, from Yazoo County caused Co. K to be named "The Anding Hussars."
Celeste Anding died before 1870. She is buried next to her husband.
Capt. Anding died in Yazoo City, Mississippi at the home of his cousin, Dr. R. L. Dunn. His obituary states that he never married, but had many relatives. "His is a singular case, in the fact that he had neither father, mother, brother or sister, or descendants of them—his nearest kinsmen being first cousins, to whom, and other relatives and friends, he devised his estate by will." (The Yazoo City Herald, Yazoo City, Mississippi, 9 August 1878, pg.2, microfilm 18522, Mississippi Department of Archives and History, Jackson.)
In 1883, when the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad was extended from Jackson to Yazoo City, the town of Anding, Yazoo County, Mississippi was formed on property he had owned.
ANDING is my home town.
