Husband of Clarrissa
Shares a tombstone with Clarrissa and Augustine W.

Cemetery Records show he was the father of Gibson Anderson

Find A Grave contributor kmktonks has provided the following:
-------------------------
Based on his death record in Licking County, Ohio, his birthday would have been 10 July 1799. This is confirmed in the following censuses where his birth year was listed as 1799: 1850, 1860 and 1870. His death record also lists his death year as 1881. This is confirmed by his probate records. Often times, headstones (especially those as elaborate as his) were placed years after the death of the individual, sometimes resulting in errors of dates. Based on records available, I might assume that is what occurred in his case.
