Anderson, Simeon Asa (1800-1850)
Anderson, Simeon Asa
Research Note
We don’t have a file for S. A. Anderson and after looking into him a bit, I can see why. I found him in Paul Spellman’s Old 300, Gone to Texas. Paul wrote that Anderson came to Texas from Alexandria, Louisiana with his wife and three children. Paul states that the league granted to him was on the Colorado River just below Moore’s fort, but it’s actually about halfway between Moore’s fort, later La Grange, and the Colorado County line. Evidently, he had trouble raising money he had promised Austin and ended up returning to Louisiana. He sold his entire league to James J. Ross in 1828. Spellman refers to him as Simeon, but both his land grant and the deed to Ross are for Simon Anderson.
