final entry below for a black servant named "French Strayly" is very
interesting.

Annie F. (Martin)
Anderson's parents were: William H. Martin and Anna B.
Randall.
-
Lona (Caldwell)
Anderson's parents were Stephen M. Caldwell and Sarah Ann
Sheets.

Mary (Robertson)
Anderson's parents were Adam C. H. Robertson and Mary F.
Mobley.
-
Fannie (Cornwell)
Anderson's Parents were Thomas F. Cornwell and Sarah E.
Corder.
-
It appears that
Florence G. Anderson lied about her age. She is first shows up
on the 1880 Census as a newborn, then she shows up in the 1930
Census as born in 1889. Her death index says she was born in 1890,
so essentially 10 years younger.
