Anderson, Heather, letter of Sept 27, 2001, Anderson, Heather, N. Battleford, Sask. :
Sept 27, 2001, Hi Jim,
Saw your posting on the Family Tree on Ancestry.com. It really caught my attention as I have been trying to find information on Helen Kennedy and William Anderson. I read your notes and found that you referred to a Hazel Anderson. I have letters that she wrote to my great aunt, Bessie Anderson back in 1967. I also have a letter from (looks like) Thomas Anderson from Sth. Monaghan to the same Bessie Anderson in 1924. In both letters there is mention of Catherine Kennedy and Helen Kennedy being sisters. If so, then I can supply you with more information on the William Anderson/Helen Kennedy line if you are interested. It gets complicated, but I shall try to make it understandable. (If you are not interested, you best stop reading now-----grin.)
William Anderson married Helen Kennedy Jan 7, 1827 in Fortingall, Scotland. They had a son born in Scotland in 1829 named Alexander. They came to Canada (Sth Monaghan, Ont.) sometime shortly after that. Once in Canada, they had 4 more children, all girls. Christy b. 1832 - d. 1920 - buried in Chesley, Ont.
Ellen b. 1835 - d. 1911 - buried in Chesley, Ont.
Annie b. 1837 - d. 1903 - buried in Chesley, Ont.
Catherine b. 1840 or 41 - d 1920 - buried in Chesley, Ont.
Their brother Alex is buried in Chesley also, alongside them. On his tombstone it says he died May 24, 1883 at age 53. From letters that we have from past generations, it appears he drowned.
According to the Bruce Atlas, 1880, William Anderson (married to Helen Kennedy) and Alexander Anderson (married to Catherine Kennedy) owned farms beside each other in Sth Monaghan. I do not believe that this William and Alexander were related in any way except that they married sisters. So, now saying, I shall proceed to William Anderson, who I am a gggg niece of. William was born in Weem, Scotland to John Anderson and Annie Campbell. He was christened July 4, 1800 in the Weem Parish. He had a number of siblings but one in particular was a Donald Anderson, his brother, who I am a direct descendant of. Donald had a number of children also, among them 3 boys named John, Duncan and William. To keep it straight, these 3 boys were William Anderson (and Helen Kennedy's) nephews. Have I lost you yet? These 3 nephews came to Canada. John was my great great grandfather, and Duncan married Annie Anderson (daughter of William Anderson and Helen Kennedy.) Seeing as how William Anderson and Helen Kennedy were Duncan's uncle and aunt, that means when he married their daughter Annie, he married his cousin.
John Anderson married Ann Campbell - 1799 - Scotland

I am stopping here. There are more children for a few of the above, but I only listed ones I am directly descended from to show where I fit in. I have no proof that Helen & Catherine were sisters, other than the letters I have mentioned. It could be that this whole scenario is out to lunch. I am trying to get hold of death records, etc. of William and Helen to see if the names of their parents or somebody are on them in order to confirm all this.
. Now that I have really confused you, may I ask where you descended from? If you have been able to actually read through all this and have made it this far, it would really be great to hear from you.
