Research Notes for Horace M. Anderson:

In 1860, Horace Anderson was age 1, living in Moline, Rock Island County, Illinois, with his parents, Isaac K. Anderson, 36, born New Jersey, and Lucy Anderson, 33, born Indiana.

He apparently was divorced from his wife, Kate, before he married Sophia Wilhelmina Kinsey in Chicago, 1913. Per marriage record, his name was Horace Mann Anderson. He was born about 1860 in Moline, Rock Island County, Illinois.¹ This is consistent with the 1920 census entry for Kate M. Anderson, which lists her as divorced.

In 1920 Horace M. Anderson (spelled Horris, indexed at Ancestry as Harris) was living at 1152 13th Avenue, in Moline, with his wife Sophia, age 52, born Illinois. Horace was 60, a millwright, born in Illinois. His parents were born in New Jersey and Indiana. Also living in the household was Albert Anderson, age 52, born Sweden, lodger; Fred C. Greggory, 35, born Illinois, lodger; and Chauncey W. Kinsey, 21, born Illinois, also listed as a lodger.

His mother, Lucy Mitchell Gates Anderson died in Moline, 15 Apr 1924, at the age of 92. Per obit, she was born on the Indiana-Kentucky line, married David H. Gates in Indiana, 26 Feb 1850, came to Moline in 1855, and had three children with David Gates, one of whom was Leota Gates (see below). David Gates died on 30 May 1857, after which Lucy married Isaac Anderson, a widower, in Moline on 23 Sep 1858. She had two sons with Isaac: Horace M. Anderson, and George K. Anderson, both of Moline; and one daughter, Mrs. Nellie L. Weyerhaueser.²

In 1930, Horace M. Anderson, age 71, born Illinois, divorced, parents born in New Jersey and Indiana, was a boarder, living in San Jose, California.

His half sister, Mrs. Lena Laoti Gates Channon, died 7 June 1935 in Moline. She was born 20 Jan 1854 in Indianapolis, Indiana, 20 Jan 1854, the daughter of David H. and Lucy Gates (see notes for Lucy's obit above). Amongst her survivors were two half-brothers, Horace M. Anderson of Sunnyvale, California, and George K. Anderson, of Moline.³

In 1940 he was widowed, age 81, born Illinois, living in Sunnyvale, California, with a cousin, Carrie K. Nightingale, age 72, widowed, born in Illinois.

In 1950, Horace M. Anderson was head of household, 91, born Illinois, widowed, living again in Sunnyvale with his cousin, Carrie Nightingale, 82, and another cousin, Charles H. Lee, 59, born Oklahoma, and his wife, Caroline Lee, 48, born Missouri.

He died in Santa Clara County, California, 18 Nov 1953.⁴

Notes:

Silas was born in Charlton, Massachusetts. He moved with his family to Augusta, New York, before 1799, when his father appears on the tax rolls there.¹

In the very early 1800's, a huge tract of land in western New York was acquired by the Holland Land Company and made available for settlement. The Holland Purchase encompassed many towns in Niagara and Erie counties, including Batavia, Hamburg, Holland, Concord, and others. Many from New England were drawn by this opportunity.

Among them were Silas, his brother, Reu, and perhaps the entire family of Edward Wheelock and Martha (Daggett) Wheelock.

Reu jointly purchased land in Batavia, Genesee Co, NY with Eli Wheelock (likely his brother).² Silas and his wife Rena also appear to have been in Batavia in 1807, per the obituary of their son, Lewis Wheelock, who was born there on that date.³

On 5 April 1810, Silas purchased 150 acres of land in present day East Hamburg, consisting of the northwest part of township 9, range 7, lot 34.⁴ He must have been one of the earliest settlers of Hamburg, which was founded in 1812.

During the War of 1812 Silas enrolled for three months service in Aug or Sep 1813 in the 48th Regiment of New York State Militia, commanded by Colonel Warren, in the company commanded by Ezekial Cook.⁵

In 1817, Silas and Rena became founding members of the First Presbyterian Church of Orchard Park. Silas was chosen as the first Deacon of the church.⁶

Silas first appears in the census in 1820, residing in Hamburg, Niagara (now Erie) County, New York, with 6 male children, 3 female children, and a woman 26 to 44, presumably his wife, Rena.

In 1833, Silas purchased 100 acres of land (lot 38, township 7, range 6) in or near present day Concord, New York. He apparently gave this to his son, Lewis, who built a mill and set up farming operations.⁷

Rena died in 1833 (according to her headstone), after which Silas married Sarah Hurlbut, widow of Henry Clark, in Hamburg, N.Y.⁸

Silas is enumerated in the 1830, 1840, and 1850 census living in Hamburg. In 1850 he was living with his wife, Sarah, in the household of his son Silas B. Wheelock, and his wife, Phebe.

He died in 1851. His headstone (Prospect Lawn Cemetery, Hamburg, NY) reads as follows:

"Silas Wheelock, d. Oct 30, 1851, in the 71st year of his age. Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God."

On 24 Feb 1859, as administrator of of the estate of Silas Wheelock, his widow Sarah applied for compensation for his service in the War of 1812. As a result, she received land warrant no. 86046 for 160 acres in Steele County, Minnesota, which she assigned to Ira A Prisbrey.⁹

The petition for administration of his estate, dated 28 Oct 1859, lists children Albert Whelock, Olive Lynes, Lewis Whelock, Silas B. Whelock, John H. Whelock, Harmon Whelock, Joseph Whelock, and Sophronia Schmitt. Sarah Wheelock, his wife, was appointed administrator, with Albert and Harmon posting bond.¹⁰
