The Anson \u2014 Sands Connection of Delaware County New York<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Part I: Descendants of Jesse and Maria (Sands) Anson<\/span><\/p>\n

By Maralyn D. Tolman and Richard L. Tolman, Ph. D.<\/span><\/p>\n

    This essay describes the family life, origins and two generations of descendants of Jesse Anson and Maria L. Sands<\/em><\/strong> of Delaware County, New York.  Both of these individuals came from American colonial families and had the misfortune (from a genealogical point of view) of being raised in one of the most difficult time periods for New York county records.  For this reason there exists much speculative and incorrect published information about the couple, their contemporary relatives and their origins.  It is our purpose to provide documentation for that which is actually known.<\/span><\/p>\n

     Part I describes the descendants (three generations) of Jesse and Maria (Sands) Anson; Part II and Part III describe the ancestry of Jesse Anson and then Maria Sands, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n
