?In August 1857, Clement and Ellen Anderton sold 120 acres of Blount
County land to William R. Jones. Sometime before the 1860 census, Clement
married Sarah/Sally Willcutt. It is assumed that Ellen Tidwell Anderton
passed away. In 1860, C.C. Anderton lived in Morgan County, Alabama, in
an area served by the Ivy Bluff post office. He was a 24 year-old wheel
wright born in Alabama. He owned no real estate, but his personal
property was worth \\$100. Living in his household were Sarah, a 25
year-old housewife; James M., age 5; and Rebecca C., age 1. All were born
in Alabama. Heads of adjacent households were James B. Anderton and
Thomas M. Anderton.
In 1862, Clement Anderton and Thomas M. Anderton of Morgan County gave
James B. Anderton of Lawrence County power of attorney to sell land for
them. The 240 acres of land, located a few miles south of Oneonta, was
sold to R.L. Ingraham of Blount County for \\$1200.
The 1870 census found the Clim Anderton family in Lawrence County,
Alabama. At age 34, Clim was a farmer. His household included Sarah Jane,
age 38, who was keeping house; James M., age 15; Rebecca, age 11; Louise
L., age 8; Mary E., age 6; and William, age 2. All were born in Alabama.
By the time of the 1880 census, the C.C. Anderton family had moved
further north to Fayette County, Tennessee. At age 46, C.C. was a farmer.
His household included wife Sallie, age 48, housekeeper; daughter Mary,
age 16; and three boarders Henry Monroe, age 33; Eliza Monroe, age 9; and
Minnie Monroe, age 6. The Andertons were all born in Alabama, as were
their parents. Heads of neighboring households were Wm. Cross and Robert
Cox.
The Andertons and Coxes settled near Atlanta, Texas before 1920.
Descendants of the Andertons say the family also lived in Arkansas before
they went to Texas. Sarah died 19 January 1925 in Atlanta, Cass County,
Texas. She and Clement C. Anderton had the following children:

wife Rebecca, age 31, housekeeper; son Alfred, age 2; daughter Rosa, born
August 1879; servant Eliza Nixon, age 18; and mother Elsey Cox, age 75.
