Birth3 May 1882 or 3 May 1883 Edward Stoffle Anderson was born on 3 May 1882 or 3 May 1883 in Tennessee.2,3 
Childhood  Following the death of Edward's father in 1893, Edward continued to live with his mother and siblings on the family farm in the Goodson District of Washington County, Virginia. His mother was enumerated as the head of the household in 1900; his brother Clen in 1910.2,4 
Marriage He married Margaret L. (?).5 
Milit-Reg12 Sep 1918 On 12 Sep 1918 Edward completed the WWI draft registration paperwork. Like his brothers Clinton and Isaac he listed his address as Benhams [a small community north of Reedy Creek Rd] in Washington County and stated that he was a farmer. And also like them, he was described as "stout."1 
Cens-19202 Jan 1920  Edward and Margaret continued to reside in Goodson District after their marriage. The 1920 census clarified that they were living on a rented farm on Reedy Creek Rd. They were also providing a home for Edward's mother, as well as a 9 year old niece, Willie N. [possibly the daughter of Edward's deceased brother Richard?]. Edward's brother Clinton ["Clen"], had also married and was enumerated as the adjacent household.5 
  They were most likely living on the same land as on previous census enumerations. Edward's brother Isaac had married and lived in Goodson District as well. 
Cens-19303 Apr 1930  By 1930 the household had grown to include two children, 7 year old Edward, and 5 year old Nancie who was no doubt named for her grandmother, Nancy or "Nannie", who at age 70 was still a part of the family.6
