There are other William Andersons, but the fact that these three are in the same area seems important to me.

1f 60-70 (b 1770-1780) Catherine - or her mother, Susanna Rhodes?
This probably includes John McDade Casto and Margaret since they aren't listed alone and all of John J Casto's household is accounted for - no females of Margaret's age there anyhow. William & Elizabeth are enumerated separately but it could be they were here as well, then moved out and were counted again.
William Anderson was listed on 1840, age 20-30.
