Wow! Thanks so much for this great information.
This is great. It clearly shows 'Fanny' as the
mother of both Susan (my gr. gr. grandmother), and
Corrine, who we knew about. But the BIRTH date is
off. We show Susan Ann Cage born in 1820, the same
year as her future husband Thomas Gloster Anderson was
born. If your date of birth is correct, then Susan
would have been 21 years OLDER than her husband, which
seems unlikely. I also just found a note in some data I have that mentions Susan wat
born "abt. 1820 in Tacoma, Washington"
I also see a note that mentions a 1850 census for Fayette Co,TN which lists T.G. Anderson
age 32, born NC, and Susan,
age 30, born TN. So those ages are closer to what we have for the birth date, and it has
Susan born in Tennessee rather than Washington state (as the other note said, or North
Carolina as you have).
Oh, and I just found another footnote in my papers, (from 'Family History: Southern
Genealogies #1, 1600s-1800s, Historical Southern Families, Vol.II, Reade of York County,
Virginia, page 200')which lists the birth date of Susan's husband (T.G. Anderson)
as February 12, 1819, rather than 1820. It also notes that The family moved to Fayette
County, TN after the first 5 children (including T.G.) were born in NC.
