No, we are not from Montana. All- most at least - of the Anson's I am related to live in the NW/Washington/Oregon because my grandfather bought a farm in the Seattle area after his service in WWI.
Gary, my great-grandfather is buried at Forest Lawn in Los Angeles. I am not sure that ties into your line of Anson's but I thought I would mention it.
My line goes like this....
Henry Anson/Ansel/Ansell from England?
Philarious Anson
Francis Anson
Franklin (aka Francis)P Anson
Charles Buell Anson
Clarence Bert Anson
Charles Buell Anson
Ronald Anson - Myself
Jordan Anson - My son
My mother has documentation back to Philarious (marriage/death/birth records, photos of grave sites etc.)
To answer another question from Paul that was posted based on my posting. I have not seen the book "The Complete book of Emigrants in bondage 1614-1775" but I understand the Library of Congress has three copies and I live in the DC area (I was surprised to learn of the Richerstown MD connection) now so I am headed down there in a couple of weeks to take a look. I first need to confirm that they have copies and I am right at that point as of Friday this week. Can anyone tell if they do in fact have copies? I am more than happy to help and share information.
