ID # 9113, (1852-1927)
| Father | Andrew Anderson (1818-1902) |
| Mother | Dorothy Fleming (1822-) |
| Birth | Andrew F. Anderson was born on 1 May 1852 at Canada. |
| Death | He died on 5 March 1927 at Forest Home Township, Antrim Co., Michigan, at age 74. |
| Burial | He was buried on 8 March 1927 at Helena Township Cemetery, Alden, Antrim Co., Michigan. |
| Note | Such documentary information as we have for Andrew F. Anderson shows his mother as Elizabeth, and we must believe that this was intended to indicate that Elizabeth Campton/Kempton/Crampton, was his mother. There is a problem with this, however. The 1851 census in Canada West was not begun until 12 January of 1852. The Anderson family appears in Vaughan Township of York County with children through to James who was born approximately 1850 according to this census. The parents were Andrew Anderson and Dorothy Fleming. Andrew F. Anderson died on March 5th, 1927, and his death registration does not actually show his date of birth, but it does state his age at time of death as being 74 years, 10 months, and 4 days. This would date his birth to May 1st, 1852, some four months after the 1851 census, begun in January of 1852, was recorded. Just when young Andrew's father, Andrew Anderson Sr., married Elizabeth Campton Fyfe, has yet to be found in terms of any record, civil or church, but it seems only reasonable that if Andrew's date of birth, May 1, 1852, is correct then Dorothy Fleming was his mother. The family certainly recorded Andrew's mother as Elizabeth. This could be entirely because she was the only mother that he knew. That, or the dating of his birth is in error. A church record may yet be found. Just what Andrew's middle initial of F. stood for has yet to be found, but it would be of some interest if it turned out to stand for Fleming. |
