Memorial Record of Western Kentucky, Volume I and Volume II, Lewis Publishing Company, 1904, pp. 65-66. Graves Co. HON. LUCIAN B. ANDERSON Hon. Lucian B. Anderson was born in Graves county, Kentucky, June 23, 1834. His father was John Anderson, a pioneer of Graves county, its first clerk of county and circuit courts, and a most worthy citizen. Lucian Anderson gained a fair common school education; was a deputy under his father and later under his brother, Ervine Anderson, in the office of clerk of county and circuit courts; studied law, and in 1845 was admitted to the bar. To the practice of law as a profession he devoted his time until 1879, when he retired from the profession. In 1851 he was elected county attorney, but soon afterward resigned the office; in 1855 he was elected to the state legislature, and served one term. In 1863 he was elected to Congress. In Congress he served one term, and while a member of Congress he voted for the Thirteenth Amendment, abolishing slavery throughout the United States, which was adopted January 31, 1865, by the house of representatives. This act of his is worthy of note, in consequence of his being southern born, reared and educated, and a representative of a slave state in Congress. He became a Republican in politics and in 1864 was a delegate to the Republican National Convention, which renominated President Lincoln. October 22, 1856, Lucian Anderson and Ann R. Lockridge were united in marriage. Anderson Lockridge = none http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/kybiog/graves/anderson.lb2.txt
