My mother and grandmother encouraged this by relating family stories to me and by passing on to me many notes and records on the family. My mother was often consulted by various relatives as to who and where the kinfolks were. She had over 90 first cousins and was able to tell you something about each. The family of my grandmother, Lucy Anderson, was quite an unusual one in that the father and mother of the home. Captain George and Amelia Smith Anderson were the parents of sixteen children. It furnished eleven sons to the Confederate Army. This fact was published in the newspapers of the time. As one of the relatives put it, “Our ancestors seemed to be hard working substantial folks who did whatever they could to be of service and lived useful lives in an unspectacular wav. They spent little time in writing about themselves and recording their deeds for posterity.” They seemed to need some one to write down their names and some things that they had accomplished for future generations to pursue. Therefore, I have decided to be their spokesman. I wish to express thanks to all the relatives who have furnished information and who have co-operated so spendidly to make this history possible. I especially wish to thank Paul Anderson of.Anniston, Alabama, for his contribution of material from his extensive research on the family, and Thomas C. Anderson, the patriarch of the familv at 92 years of age, for his information and moral support, and to his son J. Perrin Anderson and his wife for their valuable assistance. In an ordinary book there are usually not very many characters, but in this family history there are about two thousand. It has been somewhat of a task to assemble the information about each. If there should be a mistake in your family information, I ask that you re¬ member that it was not intentional, and correct it on the margin of the page. I have really enjoyed the work I have done—my contacts with the fine kinsfolk—and I hope they all enjoy the book. Mildred W.
