   There is debate as to where William Anderson fits into this tree, in regards to being son of John Anderson and Margaret Jean Campbell. I have seen conflicting information regarding the children of both John Ulster Anderson and John Anderson Jr. 

Many trees that I find are incomplete in regards to number of children or breadth of generations. If you have correct information as to where these people fit in, please correct me. The succession of this line is how I have known it and how my family has elaborated it.
