Hiram Anderson, was born on the north branch of the Potomac River, in Maryland, in 1788. He followed the avocations of farmer and shoemaker,and led an active career until his death in 1853. The records of the Anderson family show that Oliver M. Anderson's paternal grandfather, Hiram, moved to Ohio in 1847. On March 8, 1813, he was married To Miss Mary Mulford, A Descendant Of A Prominent Welch Family Which Settled In America In The Early Colonial Days. Miss Mulford was born August 20, 1792, and died in Jefferson County, Iowa, November 16, 1859. In 1840 Hiram Anderson and his family moved from Ohio to Boone County, Indiana, where the father died thirteen years later.
There were twelve children born to The Union Of Hiram Anderson And His Wife. Their names and dates of birth are: Naomi, born May 19,1814, married Wilson Elliott And Died In Brandon, Iowa, In 1894; William, Born May 26, 1816, And Died In Independence, Iowa, In 1894; Thomas F.,born May 9, 1818, and moved to Doniphan County, Kansas, in 1870; MaryJane,born November 4, 1819, was the wife of Isaac Bennett, and died in Indianaabout 1873; Nancy, born April 27, 1821, married Jesse Burton, Who Died In Indiana, And After His Death She Became The Wife Of John Ferguson And Died In Iowa; Rachael, Born December 3, 1822, Became The Wife Of Abraham Bennett And Died In Norway, Kansas, December 21, 1893; Robert, Born November 11, 1824, And Died Two Years Later; Hannah, Born February 8,1826, Became The Wife Of John Lewis, And Died September 2, 1902, Omaha, Nebraska; Eliza, Born May 7, 1828, Was The Second Wife Of Elisha Bowlby, And Died In 1871 In Doniphan County, Kansas; Hiram B., born August7,1830, died in Jefferson County, Iowa December 4, 1859; Martha A.,bornMay 20, 1832, became the wife of George Chase, and died at Huron, Atchison County, Kansas, in 1885; Joseph M., born August 23, 1834,and resides in St. Joseph, Mo. The foregoing list shows that Hiram and Mary Anderson ignored any such wild theories as race suicide in their active and vigorous life. With the exception of the boy Robert, who died when ababy, all the children lived to practically the alloted age of man and some of them are still living.
