Of added interest: Taken from "THE WILLIAM S ANDERSON FAMILY of

NORTHERN WEBSTER COUNTY WEST VIRGINIA" by Stanley J "Judd" Anderson:

* Five of William S and Mary Magdaline Anderson's children married

five of Frederick Snyder's (and Mary Elizabeth Simmons) children.

* The marriages of the above Andersons and Snyders resulted in

forty-five double-first cousins.

* Indications are that Rebecca (Anderson) Cowger settled in Northern

Webster County prior to her four brothers: Alexander, Alfred, Allen

and George.

On a personal note: I was born about 20 miles from the area where the Andersons have always lived. I grew up and played on the same ground where they sweated to raise their crops and prayed to praise the Lord.

They were among the first settlers in this area and much of the land is still in Anderson hands. They sent their fathers, husbands, sons and brothers off to every war ever fought. And the women fought alongside the men to save themselves from Indian attacks. What a sturdy, remarkable people. I am so proud of my family. I would like to share it with all the Rhodes' so they can see what their own Mary Magdaline helped to create.

Almost everyone listed here was born and died in Webster Co, WV. Sometimes you may see in some of the records where it will indicate Braxton Co, VA/WV or Randolph Co, VA/WV. Webster Co was formed from parts of Braxton and Randolph, which were taken from Virginia.

Also, for the most part very few moved away until my generation (B.1946) came along and "moved where there was work." Most of us have ended up in Ohio with a few scattered to other places. Everyone still goes "back home" whenever we get a chance. Those mountains and rivers are part of who we are. CANNOT GIVE IT UP and don't want to. We ALL feel this way.
