Ray left home at about 16 and went to Colorado. He didn't communicate with his family and they didn't know where he was until his employer on a ranch in Colorado, Lady Catherine Moon, wrote to his mother. He spent his adult life in Colorado, Wyoming and Idaho. He was in the US Army in 1918. He was discharged at Camp Lewis, Washington on 3 Dec 1918.Source from Family Records.

From a letter to Opal Lousin from Theresa Alkine, dated 9 April 1965, from Haddam, Kansas.
Dear Mrs. Lousin:
I'll try and get your letter answered hope I can be of some help to you in looking up the family tree.
Mother doesn't know her Grandfather Anderson's given name either, mother is the last one of her family living, she was the youngest.
She says she never knew very much about her pa's folks, but her grandfather was sick and wanted to go back to Iowa, to his folks, so her grandmother,Rosa, told him well, to then, and he did, he evidently didn't live very long after that and his wife Rosa Ann married again. She had three children by the name of Foskett, two sons, Christopher Columbus (Lum) and Napolean Bonipart and one girl, Iowa, she married Giles Hunt, they lived at Wichita, Kansas.
George Riley was a full brother of Allen Richard Anderson, mother says she doesn't remember any Robert but he must of been a full brother. I'm send you the names of the Myers family Aunt Etta's children and who they married.
If you would write Eva Huffman, her address is just Endicott, Neb. She
could give you the names of the children of the Myers family.
Grandpa and Grandma Anderson passed away when I was about 14, only ten
months apart, I was Staying with Grandma when she passes away, they were good
Christian people, I believe they used to be Quakers because my mother joined
the Quaker Church when she was 14 years old. Mother said she might write you. Hope to hear from you again, as ever, Teresa Alkine.Family records sent by Betty Holmes, also 1900 Census of Richland Co.,

Elijah was listed as settler in 1800 in Ohio and active in Ceasars Creek MM, Ohio and transferred to Green Plain MM where Susanna and children became
members also.
Elijah was active in both the Ceasers Creek MM and the Green Plain MM, which split off from Ceasers Creek. (Clark Co., Ohio)
Elijah had been received by the Ceasers Creek MM in 1811. He had been a member of the Nicholite group in Delaware and had to join by request.
Elijah was on committe to get a Meeting House, etc. for Green Plain MM.

Therefore, the children had to be minors or else they would have gone on their own certificates. Therefore, when were they all born and where?
Springfield was the County Seat of Clark Co., Ohio.Elijah Anderson Sr., it looks as if most if not all of his brothers eventually settled in Clark or Green Co., Ohio. They had been born in Kent Co., Del to James and Ann (Clifton) Anderson - James died in 1791. James was son of James, d. 1763 and Elizabeth Brown Anderson. Elijah Sr., would have gone directly from Del to Ohio and I think was one of the very earliest settlers in 1800. (see notes of Hinshaw records under Elijah Jr.)
From a letter to Betty Homes by Opal, 6 Oct 1982, Elijah Sr. died in 1856 in Clark Co., Ohio and the rumor was that he was ill or Elijah Sr., was ill and Jr. wanted to go back. That would have been from Iowa to Indiana or Ohio. To catch him in a census in 1850 or 1860 is now about the only way I can get him because Indiana has closed its birth and death records unless I can twist their arms by going there. He was not in the 1850 census in Ohio with his father and mother but there was a Mary age 11 born in Indiana with them. I think this was a child of Reuben Anderson, our Elijah Jr's brother. I can find nothing further regarding Rosa Ann Bray Anderson Foscett after the 1870 Ringgold Co., Iowa Census.NOTE from Opal Lousin, 3 Dec 1992. ...."Any will or record of death etc. for Elijah Anderson, Sr. should be in probate office for Clark Co., at N. Limestone & Columbia, Springfield, Ohio 45502.....
...Elijah Anderson, Sr. signed a petition in Ohio to Congress as did other Citizens of Territory regarding not to let speculators take the land they had settled. Elijah was not listed in the 1790 census for Delaware. He could have been missed...."

In 1981 Jan Clara and Archie stated that in the Clark Co., Ohio 1850 Census Elijah was living age 77, Susanna 72 and a Mary 11. I don't know who she was unless she was Reuben's dau. "Opal."
Note from Opal Lousin to Betty Holmes: In a book regarding Early Land Grants in Ohio, I found the names of John Anderson and Elijah Anderson where they signed a petition to Congres by Citizens of territory, settlers on Public Land between the Waters of the Muskingum and Scioto River in Northwest Territory Feb 20, 1801 - petition not to let land jobbers specutlate and take the land they have settled.
In a letter of Sept. 1989 Opal wrote: "Elijah died in 1758 in Clark Co., Ohio. He had been an active member of the Ceasars Creek MM., Ohio at Waynesville, Ohio but probably was living in Clark Co., Ohio at the time and when the Clark Co., (Meeting) was started and the Green Plain MM was started, he became a member there and was active, being a Clerk once which was an important position. I think some of his brothers lived also in Clark Co., and some in Green Co.

NOTE from Opal Lousin, 3 Dec 1992. ..."Elijah Anderson died in 1856 in Clark Co., Ohio, leaving wife Susanna (Cain) Anderson with very little earthly goods. I hope to get more information about him and that Green Plain MM from a correspondent in Ohio and will advise. He gave me the information about the "Will". There was a big split in the Quaker Church on account of slavery. Elijah was very much against it. In 1850 census for Ohio A2200 Clark Co. Elijah and Susanna are shown with a Mary age 11. I think there may be an error there and she might have been 41; otherwise she would have been a grand-daughter of one of the sons. This needs researching. Susanna was shown as 72 in 1850 census. Elijah as 77.
NOTE from Opal, 3 Dec 1992. ..."Clark County, Ohio - 1820 census, p. 006A shows Elijah Anderson of Madison Twp. This would show how many children they had by that time which was the first census in Clark Co. and probably in Ohio. Major Anderson is shown on page 016A in Greene Twp., Clark County. These at least we know about now."...

Gma also said we were Scot-Irish and we were never to wear Green on St Patrick's Day but wait until the William of Orange Celebrations and wear Orange as we were Protestants! I have the Anderson Tartan (which does not have orange in it!!).
I chuckled over the ideas of Elijah's disappearance. Knowing the strong willed spirit of my grandmother, I can almost hear what Rosa Ann was saying to Elijah, "No way will I move again" if he returned to Of course the idea of Elijah going off to California is possible as my GGGpa (George R) was born in 1845--the last of Elijah and Rosa's children.
I don't have an exact date of her marriage to Joseph Foskett (m. 1848?? Taylor Co, IA) except Napoleon was born 1848). Gma had a note that maybe he was possibly adopted by Foskett; Foskett (1796 MA; physician and they lived around Blockton, Taylor Co, IA). On Memorial Day we used to go to the cemetery in Blockton where she showed me the tombstones for her parents and siblings and her grandparents Cynthia Ann Williams and George Riley Anderson and their children and the Patricks but not of Rosa or Joseph Foskett.
The divorce idea could be true; as a young adult I finally asked my mother what happened to Great-Aunt Selma's husband (my Gma Patrick West's sister) and was quietly told they were divorced ages ago. Divorce was not something that the older members of our family did not talk about.
I have gone over your last e-mail (4-2-09) and agree some people do take information and suddenly place it on line. I have found misinformation placed on the Gen. programs with my father's families (I usually spot it with the spelling of my father's middle name or dates that are off). Ron and I had a correspondence with a distant cousin through our common great-grandfather's line who shared information but shut down quickly with both of us when pressed to verify the family information from NC/ VA. I am appalled that your uncles would try to SELL the information.
As I wrote earlier my maternal cousin Patrick and I (our mothers are sisters and granddaughters of Cora Anderson Patrick) are also looking through items and information carefully. His mother obtained the Patrick/Anderson papers and mine the West/Smith papers. His wife is retyping several of the documents and I have not received the copies yet. The papers I do have come from the typed documents I did for Gma and the notes and letters my mother had. (Gma thought it was time for me to do that after typing up family charts for Gpa).
When I looked on the LDS for Allen Richard Anderson I checked the details box and found two names: one is Debra J. Pickerell of Longmont, CO and Larry and Tanya Anderson S. 122th St, Omaha; then on several other branches the last name shows up. Are these related to us?
I don't have your data base. I am sure your information is the most accurate.
I use newest version of Reunion 9.7 for Macintosh. (Yes I got to have a MacIntosh, that Scottish Computer).
