Rachel J. Anderson married James Aston - they are my 2nd great-grandparents. According to their marriage record, Rachel's parents were Jesse and Angeline Anderson.
The antique photo album I received from my grandmother includes a photo that is labeled as Maggie Allen with Rachel Aston. There are also two photos on facing pages that are identified as Maggie Allen and John Allen. Sure enough, I found a marriage record for Margaret E. Anderson and John P. Allen. But here's the rub ... Maggie's parents are shown as Jesse and Anna Anderson.
The album also includes a photo of Dave Anderson in military uniform- if he's in the album, there must be a connection ... don't you think?
I have no proof yet, but my initial guess is that Rachel, Maggie & Dave are siblings. I currently have two Jesse Anderson's in my database (#176 father of Rachel and #233 father of Maggie), but I suspect they're actually the same man. Similarly, I won't be surprised to find that Anna and Angeline are the same person.
Can you shed any light on these folks?
