William Anderson m. Margaret Blanton - 1893
Hi,
Since my last post (on other boards), I have found a lot of information about my great grandmother, but always need more! With the help of ‘Mary from Oklahoma’ and ‘Lynn from Kansas’ and many others, I now know that Margaret S. Blanton was born in Illinois in November, 1869, had at least 6 marriages/relationships and died in December, 1960. Her marriages/relationships were with (in this order): D.R. Young (they had 1 daughter: Minie); William H. Anderson (they had 4 children: Cora, William M., Anna & Freda); Robert Barnes (they had 3 children: Ralph (sometimes called John for some reason that I don’t know, yet), Alberta and Viola); James S. Nanny (who had earlier married her sister, Rosa); William R. Buzan and Theodore Wonsetler. Granny sure got around!
Thanks to John O’Brien, I have her located with Wonsetler in Kansas City, Missouri during the years 1947-1960 from the city directories.
She was born in Illinois and lived in Missouri, Illinois and Kansas during her life. She may have lived in Oklahoma around 1907. She died while living in Kansas City, Missouri and is buried in Mount Calvary Cemetery in Kansas City, Kansas.
Any information about her residences with any of her husbands or the births of her children – or anything at all – would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Cheryl BARNES Salvi
