About George Coffee Anderson

George Coffee Anderson came from South Carolina to Smith County MS. sometime between 1835 and 1839. He stopped on the east side of the Leaf River in what is today a large rural community known as Old Taylorsville. In or around 1840, he went back to South Carolina and married Sarah Webb. Sarah was the daughter of a Baptist preacher whose forefathers had, in by-gone years , migrated from France, probably through England, and then in later years to the USA.

According to legend passed down through the Nica (Anderson) Ainsworth family, Sarah named two of these daughters after cities in France. One of these daughters was given the name of "Nancy" and the other " Nica"

When George Coffee Anderson came back to Smith County, he and Sarah settled on the west side of Leaf River in what is today the Mt. Zion Community. His purpose in not going back to the Old Taylorsville area and in settling of the west side of the river was to get where he could homestead land and cut the virgin, long leaf yellow pine that grew there. This timber could be sold to Gruff Ainsworth who operated a water mill near by.

Eight children, Six daughters and two sons were born to George Coffee and Sarah Anderson. They are both buried in Mt. Zion Baptist Church Cemetery, Smith CO., MS.
