Following the path of the descendents of Robert Adams and Mourning Lewis my 3rd great grandmother was Anne Dickerson. She was born in Kentucky and married Parmenus Jones to which my gggrandmother Sarah Jones Dow( More about her later) was born.
Anne Dickerson was a very adventerous woman. She would be married three times in her adult life. After Parmenus Jones died she then married a man by the name of Paterson Aber. He too passsed away( there are family jokes that make reference that she must have been a bad cook!) and she then married Ladovic Underhill.
Ladovic and Anne's stepson Emmet were both Civil war veterans joining in Illinois when they lived in Yorktown( Illinois) Emmet is buried in Erie, Il with a civil war monument- although I have yet to go see it.
This is where her life takes a very interesting twist. She and husband Ladovic migrated to Indian Territory in Oklahoma were they both passed away. They are both buried there.
I have no idea why they went there leaving their families behind. Perhaps they had heard there was money to be made there - the truth is I will never know.
Anne is the start of my pioneer connection in this world and I admire the courage she had!
