I am pretty sure that Anderson's father is Jesse. I have a letter written by James A Blair(my gg-grandfather), in which he talks about Anderson Shankle, who he worked for, being the brother of Ellena(eleanor) Shankle(b ~1830), who is my gg-grandmother. I know she is from Panola County Texas and her father was named Jesse Shankle. According to a census for Elena and James Blair, her father, Jesse, came from Alabama and her mother from Tennessee. Here is an obit, which mentions Ellena's father towards the end as well. http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/topics.obits2/25062/mb.ashx along with the famous letter about Avold Shankle http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wshankle/AvoldSchenkleLetter.htm If you would like a copy of this letter, concerning Anderson and Ellena, please email me RedMadouc@aol.com
