      ; per Ancestry family Tree: [quote]James ANDERSON and Ann CLIFTON by Richard Anderson: James Anderson and Ann Clifton were Quakers/Nicholites and are found in histories relating to this early Quaker sect. Supporting the connection of John Anderson with this couple is the fact that descendants of John and Elizabeth lived among Quakers. Elizabeth's great-grandmother, Elizabeth Harwood, is the daughter of two Quakers -- Robert Harwood and Elizabeth Garey. Robert's wife, Elizabeth Garey, married first Wenlock/Winlock Christison in 1776 after Robert's death and next William Dixon about 1781. Both Dixon and Christison were members of Third Haven Meeting, Maryland. .

As with James Anderson and Elizabeth Brown above, the documentation for James Anderson and Ann Clifton is fairly thin. The only real evidence I have of this lineage is from a contribution to a .

I have followed only two of James and Ann's children: John Anderson who is our direct ancestor and Daniel Anderson. Daniel is of interest as he married Ann Dinsmore. One of James and Ann's grandchildren, William Anderson, also married into the Dinsmore line. That marriage occurred in Ohio. As of 18 January I have not been able able to find any additional information about the Dinsmore surname that links to our family. .

John Anderson and Elizabeth Horney are documented in the next generation. Elizabeth's ancestry is document in the Horney Line. .
