Anderson Lumpkin was born in Knox County, Tennessee, 2 May 1812, the youngest of 11 children of Robert and Elizabeth (Forrest) Lumpkin. In 1830 when he was 18 years old he moved to Randolph County, Indiana with his parents, then following his marriage in 1837 and his parents' deaths in 1842 and 1848, Anderson moved his family by ox-drawn wagon to Webster Co., Iowa in 1854. He was a successful farmer in Webster County for many years, and was the father of 15 children. He was a widower three times and was outlived by his 4th wife, Annie. His children were: 1. Wilson Lumpkin (1838-1919); 2. Mary Lumpkin (1840-1842) who is buried in Nettle Creek Township, Randolph Co., Indiana; 3. Martha ("Mattie") Lumpkin Jorgensen (1841-1932), who died in Los Angeles, CA and is buried at Hastings, NE; 4. Emily ("Emma") Jane Lumpkin Long (1843-1927); 5. John Lumpkin (1845-1847), who is buried in Nettle Creek Twp, Randolph Co., Indiana; 6. Tillman A. Lumpkin (1847-1908); 7. Silas J. Lumpkin (1847-1937), who died in Oakland, Alameda Co., CA and is buried in Webster Co., Iowa; 8. Thomas Lumpkin (1851-1877); 9. Henry Lumpkin (1853-after 1880), burial site unknown; 10. Susan ("Susie") Elizabeth Lumpkin Stover (1876-1939); 11. William Charles Lumpkin (1878-1935), who died in Santa Clara Co., CA; 12. Sylvester T. ("Bert") Lumpkin (1881-1947); 13. Robert Michael Lumpkin (1885-1915), who died at Montour, Gem Co., Idaho; 14. Mabel Barbara Lumpkin Ray Klingback (1888-1935); and 15. Davis Frank Lumpkin (1890-after 1910). In 1888 Anderson moved with his wife and young children to Adams County, Iowa, where he died March 28, 1899, at the age of nearly 87.
From the Des Moines Register, April 4, 1899:
DEATH OF AN IOWA PIONEER
-Anderson Lumpkin Passes Away After a Long and Eventful Career-
Des Moines, April 3 -- The death of Anderson Lumpkin last Tuesday, at Corning, Iowa, removed another pioneer. He was born in Knoxville, Tenn. May 2, 1812, and was 86 years, 10 months, and 26 days old at the time of his death. When he was 18 years of age, his parents moved to Randolph County, Indiana, and at 21 [24] years of age, he was married to Susannah Williams.
In the year 1854, he in company with some other families, started for Iowa by team overland. On reaching Centerville, his wife was taken sick and died, after which they moved on north to Knoxville, Marion County, where they went into winter quarters.
Early in the spring of 1855, they again started on for their final destination -- Fort Dodge, in Webster County -- and settled on and bought government land [a homestead]. They built log houses, made rails from timber growing along North Lizard creek, fenced and began to cultivate the soil, coming to Des Moines for all supplies and to mill.
The Indian troubles soon broke out and nearly all left their homes temporarily on account of the danger. But all this time, Mr. Lumpkin, like a brave pioneer, never flinched, but guarded his home by barring doors and keeping constant vigil with his trusted rifles and plenty of ammunition. The Indians never disturbed them in their home, and as the excitement died away, the people returned again to their homes, and peacefully took up the arduous work of making all kinds of improvements.
When the rebellion broke out, his oldest son, Wilson, came to Des Moines and enlisted in Company B, Fifteenth Iowa regiment, serving out his full three years, reenlisted and remained with his old comrades to the close of the war, and was in the final muster out at Washington, D.C. in 1865. Many of his old comrades will recognize his [Wilson Lumpkin's] name when reading this.
He [Wilson] is the oldest one of seven children surviving their mother [Anderson's first wife, Susannah], of whom five are still living, two of whom attended the last sad rites: Mrs. C.N. Jorgensen [Martha], of Hastings, Neb., and T.A. [Tilman] Lumpkin, of Des Moines, being the only ones in reach at the time of his death.
In 1874, he married Miss Annie Springer, of Fort Dodge, to whom six children were born and survive him. In 1888 he moved to Adams County. Retiring from active life about three years ago, he moved into Corning, where he spent his last days until the final summons came, March 28, 1899, when the work of a long, active Christian life was ended.
He was interred in Corning cemetery Friday morning, March 31, after a very impressive funeral service followed by a long concourse of friends to his final resting place.".
