Seeking information about the children of George W. Anderson (1810-1859) and Sally Stewart (1809-1881) who lived and died in Blue Township, Jackson Co., Mo. They imigrated from Montgomery County, KY in 1836. I think I know who the children were. I am interested basically in family group sheets for the children who married and biographical information. The children are believed to be: Matthew William Anderson (1836-1906) m(1); Julia A. Daniel m(2); Mary Erwin; James Robeson Anderson (1838-1917) m. Anna Burgess; Mary Fowler Anderson (1841-?) m. Orlando Truitt; George W. Anderson, Jr. (1846-1880) m. Juliet Stone; Rachel Jane Anderson (1848-1881) m. Jessie Daniel; and Elizabeth Ann F. Anderson (1850-?) m. William J. Smitson. This last marriage could be wrong. There was also a son Jacob Stewart Anderson (1843-1876) who it is believed never married and several children who died quite young.

Im having a problem finding a couple of people. I've tried several avenues without any success and was hoping someone would have some ideas of what to do next. I found the following people on the 1860 census in Fort Osage, Jackson, MO:

George P. Smith, 25, farmer, KY (my gggrandfather)

Mary, 25, KY

John W., 03, MO.

Laura, 01, MO.

Then I can't find them anywhere until the 1900 census in Fairview, Russell, KS:

John Smith, h, w, m, 03, 1855, w, 45, MO, PA, VA (my ggrandfather)

Charles, s, w, m, 10, 1881, s, 18, KS, MO, OH

Frederick, s, w, m, 07, 1886, s, 13, KS, MO, OH

I know that is the right John Smith even though the parents place of birth is wrong. One of the boys must have given it. I can't find anything on them from 1860 until 1900 and I lose George, Mary and Laura. Also, I can't track down where in KY, George and Mary cam from. What was going on in the Fort Osage are in 1860 that would have affected them? Your help is greatly appreciated.

Lawrence McPherson b. between 1888-1894 in Cass county, MO was also living in Jackson county when his father died, and there is no record of a death or burial in Cass county, so he is believed to have remained in Jackson county. He apparently died before 1964.

This couple moved to St. Paul, KS in 1869-1870. My records show this couple had 2 daughters, Bertha and Helen, both born in the 1868-1880 time frame. No other info beyond the 2 daughters. Peter K. George died in 1929 in Kansas City, Jackson county, MO., so it's possible these 2 daughters married and lived in the KC area.
