Judy,I think that it is more likely that my Annis and your Alanson were siblings or cousins.My reasoning is that Jefferson Co (where Alanson was born in 1829) is not too far north of Wayne Co (where Annis,b. 1827, lived and bore her children).Annis moved to Michigan in about 1863.Her daughter Mary Burgess(who was born in 1856) was married in Van Buren, Co. MI in 1873---your Fred was married there in 1871. How many Beckwith families could there be in that rural area?Is it just coincidence?So Fred and my Mary were about the same age.I am guessing that Alanson and Annis could be siblings--they even have similar wierd names!!..so much for the scientific approach to genealogy!
