John AndersonJohn Anderson was born in Port Hope, Ontario, Canada on January 19, 1838 and married a woman named Eliza Soverhill Lighthall in Clifton Springs on July 23, 1864 prior to moving to Wayne County. The couple moved around a bit, from Ontario County, New York to Wayne County, New York. They didn't seem to have any children, but in his obituary it mentions two step children: Charles and what I would imagine to be Ida (Lighthall) Molar from the 1870 census. I am unsure who Elisa married to become a Lighthall. John was a baker. John died in April of 1909. Eliza seemed to live past 1910, in 1910 being listed as a widower. John's last census was in 1905. A transcription of the Newark Main Street Cemetery shows that John died in 1909 and his wife 9 years later in 1918. In 1880 the census says that John's father was born in Scotland and his mother in England since he was born in Canada it may be easier to determine which family he belonged to with this information. Through a search on the Wayne County Genweb site I found that in 1869 John Anderson had his own bakery shop.

A. D. AndersonIn 1900 in Arcadia, Wayne County, New York there was a man listed as A.G. Anderson. He was newly married, his wife's name was Angeline. He worked at a hotel, possibly (as indicated in the directory) was a proprietor of the Arlington House (the closest match I can find is in Phelps, Ontario County, New York). Based on A. D.'s wife being named Angeline I did a little scan in the census' and found in 1910 living in Dunkirk, Chautauqua County, New York an Andrew Anderson (born 1869 in Sweden) with a wife Angeline who matches A. D.'s wife's birth location, Michigan. Also this couple states that they had been married for eleven years, A. D. and Angeline stated one year in the 1900 census. In this census Edward is a saloon keeper who came to America in 1891. In the 1930 census this date seems to read 1871. I cannot say that Edward and Angeline did not have children, but if they did they were not in the household in any of the census'.
