Hi, Sherry,

I noticed that some of your information on Hugh Anderson and his first wife Hannah Wood could use some updating.

I am a direct descendent of Hugh Anderson and Hannah Wood Anderson (daughter of Elias Wood and Frances Chittum) through John Evan(s) Anderson (1846-1918) and Mary Jane (Jenny) Cottrell (1852-1919). John and Jenny divorced. John moved to Ohio after the war and married Elizabeth Catherine Faulkner , widow of Zimri Haines. John and Elizabeth had a son together named John Russell Anderson (1893-1974). Jenny had already moved to Kansas and married her cousin James Cottrell.

To the best of my knowledge there is no known middle name for Hannah Wood Anderson, though she did have a daughter Margaret (born about 1853), about whom I have no information.


It appears that Hannah may have died in 1853 or 1854 (or ran off, never to be heard from again) because Hugh appears to have married Isephine Allis in Henry County on October 30, 1855. (Unfortunately, there was more than one Hugh Anderson in nearby Indiana Counties, so I can't be positive yet.) Two years later (17 June 1858) My Hugh married Margaret Barnard in Henry County. Emily Anderson was born in 1860 (approximately in May, as she was 2 months ol on July 28th) -- I believe her mother was very likely Margaret Barnard Anderson, who was slightly older than Hugh. Margaret was listed as having been born in North Carolina, whereas my ancestor Hannah was a Virginian. Two Hugger girls living with Margaret and Hugh were also born in North Carolina, though all the other children in the home were born in Indiana. This suggests that Margaret may have been married previously, but I haven't really cared enough to check it out. Margaret seems to have disappeared after the 1860 census.


In 1865 Hugh married Sarah Kuhn, widow of Daniel Connor and assumed guardianship of her children (Susan, John, Nancy, and Mary.) There are extensive records at Fold 3 regarding the guardianship and Daniel's Civil War service and death. Sarah was the only grandmother that my grandma and her sisters ever knew.


In regards to the rest of Hugh and Hannah's children, here is what I know:
Young Frederick died on 15 March 1873, of consumption after an injury in Henry County.
Elias Wood Anderson (1847-1925) moved to Texas after (or in conjunction with his military service) and married Anna Daly. After her death, he married her widowed sister Kate Daly Slattery. Elias and Anna had two children, which her sister helped raise along with her own.
Zerilda (1849-1898) married Edwin Irving (1845-1920) in Henry County in August 1866. This was his second marriage and her first. If the marriage notations are correct, then Zerilda may have been a stepdaughter because her parents are listed as Wm. Anderson and S. Wood. Or, more likely, which would have been consistent with DNA matches, Hugh's first name may really have been William and he just went by Hugh. There may also be some transcription trouble.
I hope this information is helpful.

1793
On December 24, 1793 a Bond of Marriage of Dickerson Wood II and Hannah Wither was executed and delivered by John Withers, Hannah's father, to Henry Lee, Esquire, Governor of Virginia. The bond read:
Dickerson Wood and Hannah Withers Marriage Bond
Know all men by these Presents, That we Dickerson Wood and John Withers are held and firmly bound unto his Excellency Henry Lee, Esq. Governor of Virginia, in the just and full sum of one hundred fifty dollars, current money, to which payment well and truly to be made, to the said Governor or his successors, we bind ourselves, our heirs, executors, and administrators, jointly and severally, firmly by these Presents: Sealed with our seal, and dated this 24 day of December 1793.
The condition of the above obligation is such, that, whereas there is a marriage suddenly intended to be solemnized, between the above bound Dickerson Wood and Hannah Withers now if there be no lawful cause to obstruct the said Marriage, then the above obligation to be void and of no effect, otherwise to remain in full force and virtue.
Sealed and delivered in presence of (illegible)
/s/ Dickerson Wood
/s/John Withers

Dickerson Wood II joined Darnold, in Culpeper County, Virginia, after Dickerson Wood I died in 1803. William Wood seems to have stayed at the home place in Virginia until joining with others leaving for Kentucky in about 1816. It is not known if any other Wood came to Kentucky. The younger Dickerson Wood later settled in what became Marion County, West Virginia. He died between 1799-1864 in Marion County, West Virginia. There are descendents by his name in the 1880 census.


Dickerson Wood, Jr. was the son of Dickerson Wood and Mary. The family lived at Leeds Manor, having property leased to them from Lord Thomas Fairfax. They were to take care of the land and have so many apple trees and so many acres of tenable land, paying a yearly rent of 100 pounds. This is all documented.

December 24, 1793 Hannah's mother, Elizabeth, consented to the marriage.

Fauquier County December 24th 1793. This is to certify that I Elizabeth Withers and Hannah Withers do give free liberty to Dickerson Wood to get ought license to join together the holy estate of matrimony as Witness our hands Elizabeth Withers Hannah Withers. (Volume 1-3 Fauquier County, Virginia Marriage Bonds)
Dickinson Wood married Hannah Withers September 3, 1786 in Fauquier County, Virginia; Dickinson Wood married Hannah Withers December 24, 1793 in Fauquier County, Virginia. These two different dates of marriage were reflected on a CD. Obviously one of the entries is in error. There is a 7 year difference between the two marriage dates. Note also that the first name is given as Dickinson rather than Dickerson. However, it is proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Dickinson Wood and Dickerson Wood are one and the same because (1) the marriage to a Hannah Withers is common to them and (2) the marriages occurred in Fauquier County, Virginia.
