Answer 1

Which census is this Donnie? I have a few Anderses in my family, collateral relatives, descendants of the Galloways, John Colby particularly, and some loose end Anderses. I have three census transcriptions for Transylvania County, if that’s where you’re looking: 1870, 1880, 1900. Let me k is how I can help.

1910 Pumpkintown, Pickens,SC is the widow and children I just don't know if I'm working on two families with similar names. Thanks.

Ah, I see. A lot of folks from Transylvania moved down to Pickens County, especially from around he Rosman area. Once they moved they pretty much went off my radar as most of my contacts in Transylvania focused locally, and my folks left there for Gastonia to work in the mills in the late 1910s and early 1920s.

Yes my Parkers moved from Transylvania area to Piedmont, SC and my Hoopers moved from Jackson County to Piedmont both these are my grandmother's last names my mothers mother was Ida Parker Spearman my dads mother was Bessie Hooper Blackstone. I'm not direct kin to Anders but one of my uncles is an Anders I believe the Trotter/Breazeale family is connected to the Anders also.
