Transcribed from the card file of Mrs. Oradel Crabtree. Anderson County, Texas lies between the Trinity and Neches rivers, bounded by Henderson, Cherokee, Houston, and Freestone Counties. It was originally Burnett's colony, but belonged to Houston county until 1846, when it was formed into a separate colony and named for Vice-President Kenneth L. Anderson.
The first settlement in Anderson County was in 1833 when Daniel Parker brought a colony of 25 Primitive Baptist families from Illinois into Texas through Louisiana.
