First, I would like to state how astounded I am at the amount of information everyone provided already: I have dealt with other forums before that weren't anywhere near as helpful! Also, apparently, I need to learn how to write in a forum, as I have confused everyone, ha. Sorry about that!
AMBLY: Thank you for posting the clarifying information. My Edward Anderson is indeed the one you posted about, who traveled from Manchester to Bocholt to Killingly, CT. I know this information to be true, as I was working off of my mother's Great-Grandmother (Caroline Hoffman-Anderson) handwritten note my mother dug out a few years ago.
Also, I am certain of the generation, Richard Anderson c. 1801, would have been my mother's 3rd Great Grandfather. I was just typing quickly, as I was excited to finally find a forum! I will be sure to adhere to proper forum rules once I learn them in full; you would think, being 28, I would be okay with technology....not really, ha.
I will have to investigate the GREGORY information, as that it very interesting!
Does any one know how I would go about finding Edward ANDERSON c. 1824's first wife?
I do have more questions, but at this juncture, I think it is best that I learn how to post here. Also, let me just restate one more time, you guys are AWESOME! Thank you so much for the information and potential leads. I will have to piece this together tonight after my daughter goes to bed. Thank you thank you thank you!
