Anderson Pinkney Darby

Anderson P. Darby and Mary Elizabeth "Betty" Anderson married in 1903.  They lived near Denver, AR.  The picture below is from the Betty Blevins Cody Cedar Chest Collection.  Above Anderson and Betty are pictured near Denver, AR at an older age.

Anderson and Betty Darby were born in 1883.  Anderson was the son of Levi Cazey Darby and Margaret Mckee.  Margaret was the daughter of John Mckee and Mary Susan Carpenter.  Mary Susan Carpenter and our Grandfather William Wesley Carpenter were siblings!

The picture of Anderson P. Darby is from the Betty Blevins' Cody collection and below is a copy of the same photo from Ancestry.  Same picture from different sources.  

This photo from Ancestry is Anderson and Betty Anderson Darby and three of their children:  left to right are Oscar, Clara and baby Herman Darby.

 This photo from Ancestry is Mary Elizabeth Anderson and her sisters.  Back row left to right: Belle and Cassie and front left to right Dela and Betty.  The Anderson's father was Richard Anderson and their mother was Cynthia Emeline Matlock.  Cynthia Emeline was a sister to Betty Blevins Cody's mother, Catherine; thus, the four Anderson girls were first cousins of Betty Blevins Cody.  Anderson P. Darby was a first cousin to Lee Henry Cody (Betty's husband).

I can't help but ponder--was Anderson P. Darby is some way related to Richard Anderson, father of the four sisters above?    Cynthia Matlock husband Richard Anderson died in July of 1893.  Cynthia married two more times--James Hobbs and Green Asbury Williams.
