 Includes NotesNotes for Anderson Songer:
May 2005

He is born in Montgomer Co., Va., and don't know where that is, but he and Sara Springer married in 1836 in 1840 they have 2 children under 5.
Must be Doratha and Sophronia.

By 1850 they move to Ottowa and have Sophronia 10, Sara 8, Marietta 6, Andrew J. 4 and Samantha 2. Doratha Jane died 4 years previously.

In 1860 they're both 43 in Newton Twship. At home is Marietta 16, Andrew J. 14, Samantha 12, George A. 9, Angeletta 8, Henrietta 5, and Eli Clayton 1. That's the last of the children (10).

In 1870 he is 54 and a day laborer. Left at home are Henrietta, Eli and Angeletta.

In 1880 he and Sarah are still in Pontiac. Eli is at home and sister Henrietta is there but now has the last name Combs. Also living there are her two children Sarah 4, and Mary 3. No mention of her husband.
Interestingly, right below them in the census is Uriah SPRINGER, 46 and his daughter and two sons. Uriah is a brother of Sarah Springer Songer.

Have uncovered documentation of Civil War service by a Anderson H. Songer, Vermillion Co., enlisting in 1861, which sounds like our man, but my heavens, he'd have been 46 years old, which I suppose was possible, but why he'd have had to go at that age with seven children at home in 1860, I don't know.
