| Minett Anderson and Nancy "Nannie "Long are the Great grandparents of my husband Johnny E. Anderson. I have chosen not to include Minnetts children as some of them are still living. Nancy Long was the daughter of Pricey Chitwood and Hiram Long. There were several of the Chitwood ladies that married into the Anderson family. Pricey Chitwood is a descendant of Mathias Chitwood from England. If anyone is interested in this line I would be willing to share it with you. |
