However, William and Nancy's son David W Anthony went to Kansas for a year.
Found in the book "Indiana County Pennsylvania Her People, Past and Present Volume II Written by Prof. J.T. Stewart Page 1307 William Anthony owned a tract of 175 acres in Armstrong township, which was a wilderness when he settled upon it, coming hither from York county, Pa, He was one of pioneer residents of that region, and Anthony's run, which passes in front of the farm of his grandson, John Jacob Anthony, was named for him. He built a log house and was engaged the rest of his active life in clearing and cultivating his land. David W. Anthony, son of William, was a farmer all his life. He lived for a time on his father's tract of 175 acres, but eventually sold it and went west to Kansas, settling at Olathe, where he farmed for a year. Returning to Indiana county, Pa., he bought the Allison farm of 112 acres in Armstrong township, upon which he was engaged the remainder of his life in farming. He was an active citizen of his community, serving his township as supervisor and school director. He was a lifelong member of the Presbyterian Church at Curry Run, and served on the building committee. He is buried in the cemetery of that church. Politically Mr. Anthony was a Republican.
