Hi, guess would help if you could help me see your line as you know it so far. James Anderson that married Cecil Wright died in Ohio in 1849.
James Anderson and wife Celia, and Celia Bartlett, along with Esther Bartlett, were received into membership into the Third Haven MM 30th day of 9th mo 1797. Letter from Mrs. Nancy Speers of Swarthmore, Pa. 12 Dec. 1988 to David A. Anderson. "The Nicholite records published by Kenneth Carroll in 1962 do record the children of James Anderson and Ann Clifton, as well as those of James III who married Celia Wright, as: Mary, Lydia, Wright, Peter, James, Cecilia and Sarah. The children you mention as being recorded by a Rev. Turner do not appear in Nicholite or Quaker records of that area. I am, therefore, at something of a loss as to how I can help you further. The James who married Celia Wright was b. 16 Aug. 1765, son of James and Ann Clifton. I know nothing about the Rev. Turner records, and can't explain the discrepancy between them and the Nicholite records. The birth and marriage records of the Nicholites were deposited, along with the records of Third Haven MM, Eason, Md., at the Hall of Records in Annapolis, MD. WE have at the library only microfilm of these original records. I only know that I have great trust in the accuracy of the research done by Kenneth Carroll, and believe it to be accurate. I also don't know about the Anderson line before they joined the Nicholites or the Religious Society of Friends, and whether the James who married Ann Clifton was a grandson of Thomas Anderson. I really am afraind that I am unable to help you further, Sorry! Nancy Speers.
In portion from a letter written to me by David Anderson of N.M., 9 Aug. 1989: ...There is a book that contains some information about my branch of the family. It is entitled, "Peter Wright and Mary Anderson: A Family Record" by Earnest Neall Wright, pub. 1947." It has a section in the back on the incorporation of the Nicholites into the Third Haven MM of the Society of Friends. James and Ceila Wright Anderson are listed here. But, also, a Richard and Ceila Vickers are listed."...

In your record do you show James AndersonIII married to a Ceclia Wright? There is one posting on the web that said she was his wife and that he died in 1834 in Madison, VA. If this is true, he cannot be ours! Joy Sent from my iPad=

02-14-1799 Eli removed to Third Haven MM. Eli later went to Clinton Co., Ohio where he married Mary Thatcher.
This family gets terribly mixed up with our Elijah line, one must be very careful not to be confused and mix them up. Opal Lousin writes: ..."Your note shows that Eli had membership in Center MM, and married Mary Thatcher. He lived in Clinton County and was a memeber of a different Meeting, Center. The David Anderson with whom Betty and I have corresponded in New Mexico is of the James line of James and Cecillia."...
..."I saw the grave stones for Eli and Mary (Thatcher) Anderson in the farm land near Penn College, Mahaska County, Iowa which was served by the Spring Creek MM, forerunner of the Oskaloosa MM. My husband and I attended Penn College and will go back for his 60th reunion in May. The Meeting House (Spring Creek) was near the cemetery."...
