Individual Details

Anderson said born in Pittsylvania Co VA 1794. He served in the War of 1812 in 7th Regt of the VA Militia. His brother Asa served in the 5th Regt and Archibald [their father?] in the 4th Regt. Archibald was in Montgomery Co TN in 1830. Anderson lived to appear in 1850 and 1860.
Said to have married Elizabeth Joyner.

Diana has the following from a great aunt of her grandmother's,
"My father was Albert Walters, the son of Anderson Walters who was born in Pittsylvania Co VA on 10 May 1794 and went to Montgomery Co TN and there married Elizabeth Joyner. He was a soldier at Norfolk in 1812. He was a large man, six feet two inches tall and 265 pounds. The family moved from TN to White Co IL when my father Albert was 6 years old."
She lists her grandfather's siblings as Thomas, Asa, Abner, Daniel & Lucy. [This list leaves out the two daughters of Archibald's, Mary & Elizabeth, who married before the families left Virginia for Tennessee.]

The family lived next door to Thomas & Lucy Joiner - this would be Anderson's sister and her family.

By 1860, it appears Elizabeth Joiner may have died & Anderson remarried.

A list of the children of Anderson & Elizabeth:

William A., b. 1825, d. 1904, married Margaret DeLap
Elizabeth, b. 1828, married William Shelby Bolerjack
