ANDERSON, Elijah  - Greenfield Township
===========================================================================
Elijah Anderson emigrated to Indiana from Marion County, Ohio, with his
parents, John and Mary Anderson, in 1829; they located in this county on
land now owned by the subject.  He was born in Ohio October 10, 1817, and
married, July 4, 1854, in this county, to Miss Nancy Martin, and has since
been a resident of this township.  He has accumulated 580 acres of land, all
in this township, excepting eighty-seven acres.  His farm of 240 acres on
Pretty Prairie ranks among the best in the county.  Wheat forms the staple
product, the crop for 1880 amounting to 3,800 bushels.  He also raises stock
to some extent.  Mr. Anderson, by perseverance and industry, has acquired
his present property, and is a reliable and prominent citizen.  In 1877,
their fine brick residence was erected, and the other farm buildings are
very good.   Mrs. Anderson is a member of the M.E. Church, a native of New
Jersey, and the daughter of Daniel and Maria Martin; they were natives of
New Jersey, and came to Indiana from Ohio, locating in Johnson Township,
La Grange County, where they died.  Eight children have been born to Mr. and
Mrs. Anderson, John and Alonzo (deceased), Charlotte (married and lives in
this township), Orville, Charles and Daniel (twins), Harlow, and Jennie
(deceased).
