Well, if your Andersons have really been in Angelina Co, TX "forever", could this be your Charley???
1880 census Angelina Co, TX:
Anderson, Chas, 19, b MS, MS, NC
enumberated in household of W. H. Bonner and his family.
1910 census Angelina Co, TX:
Anderson, Charley R., hd, 49, M(1) 18 yrs, b MS, MS, SC
" Laura, wf, 45, M(1) 18 yrs, 4 ch, 4 lvg, b TX, IN, TX
" _____, dau, 15, b TX
" Laura, dau, 11, b TX
" _____, son, 8, b TX
Handwriting poor, wife's name looks like Laura, birth location of her father looks like IN, names of two of the children I can't read.By checking the 1900 and 1920 census records, you should be able to tell more about this family.
Do you know when and where Charley died?His death certificate should show the names of his parents, if the informant had that knowledge.(^_^)
You peaked my curiosity about Townsend, so went looking at your message history -- regarding your grandmother, Ruth, if she was a member of the DAR, you can find out from DAR headquarters.
From names you gave for her, and her father, is this your Ruth?Combined info TX Dth Idx and SSDI:
Largent, Ruth T., b 7 Mar 1903, d 29 May 1973 Angelina Co, TX; last residence Lufkin, Angelina Co, TX; SS card issued in TX.
If so, I think this is her family 1910 census Angelina Co, TX:
Townsend, Sam H., hd, 35, M(2) 7 yr, b TX, TX, TX
" Susie, wf, 29, M(1) 7 yrs, 2 ch, 2 lvg, b AR, AR, AR
" Ina Mae, dau, 11, b TX, TX, U.S.
" Rosalie, dau, 9, b TX, TX, U.S.
" *Ruth*, dau, 7, b TX, TX, AR
" Sam Jr., son, 1 8/12, b TX, TX, AR
Galimere, Jim, servant, black, 28, sgl, b LA, LA, LA
Sam is listed as Lawyer/co. atty and owns his own home.And, as you can probably spot for yourself, Susie is a second wife.You should be able to find him on the 1900 census with his first wife.
And, from 1880 census Angelina Co, TX, family of Sam H.:
Category: Name;Relationship to head of household;Marital Status; Gender; Race; Age; Birthplace; Occupation; Father's Birthplace; Mother's Birthplace.

And, I'm willing to bet this George is brother to above William, age 31.George 36, is b LA, and William 31, is b TX, the family was on the move.Note, both men are business men, not farmers.
