Excerpt from this link mentions John Calvin Anderson.
http://www.myoutbox.net/aedob.htm"My mother was Mary Jane Anderson, born May 1, 1840 (the night the stars fell). The Andersons were Scotch also, and those who first came to this country settled in South Carolina, around where the town of that name now is located. There was an "Anderson Clan" in Scotland, some members of which were notable people, the record says.
Her father was
John Calvin Anderson (more Scotch Presbyterians) and as a youth was bound out to learn the hatter's trade. Every boy in those days, however wealthy his parents, had to learn a trade at which he could support himself, if need be. But this was too slow for young John C., so he ran away and came to Mississippi. Along about 1815 he married Mary Parsons, whose parents descended from some of the English who settled Georgia under Gen. Oglethorpe. I have a hand made pen-picture of them, made soon after they were married, which was before the days of modern photography. He had black hair and blue eyes and a profile strikingly like Napoleon Bonapart. She was tall, slender, brown hair and blue eyes. My sister, Addie, resembled her very much. They had a large family, of which my mother was next to the youngest. John C. was killed accidentally when he was about 45, his wife living to be 80 years old"
