Dr. T. A. Anthony, Sr.<\/strong>, a physician of Durhamville, Lauderdale County, Tenn.,
\nis a son of James C. and Mary S. (Lee) Anthony. His father was born in
\nCampbell County, Va., in 1786, and his mother in Westmoreland County, Va., in
\n1791, and they were married in 1810. Four sons were born to them: Phillip L.,
\nborn in 1811; William A., born in 1813; James G., born in 1815; and our
\nsubject. In 1832 they moved to Arkansas and lived there until the father died
\nin 1866, and the mother died in Arkansas in the same year. They did not
\nbelong to any church; he was an old line Whig. Our subject is of Italian
\ndescent on his father’s side, one of his ancestors being a merchant of Genoa,
\nItaly, and, while trading on the Mediterranean Sea, was captured by pirates
\nand taken to Algeria and sold as a slave, but was afterward liberated by an
\nEnglishman and went to England. On the mother’s side, Dr. Anthony’s ancestors
\nwere English, tracing back to William the Conqueror. Hugh Lee, one of his
\nancestors, was made Earl of Litchfield by William the Conqueror, for services
\nrendered at the battle of Hastings; some of his ancestors fled to Virginia,
\nwhen Cromwell ruled in England, and after the coronation of Charles II,
\nreturned to England to ask the King to restore their estates; but the King, on
\naccount of Parliament, gave them large tracts of land in Virginia and they
\nreturned to that State, and from them came the famous Lee family of Virginia.
\nOur subject was born in Richmond, Va., April 1, 1817. His opportunities for
\neducationg himself while young were neglected, as his parents were moving from
\nplace to place. At the age of eighteen he commenced studying at home and, in
\n1840, commenced the study of medicine, graduating at Jefferson Medical College
\nin 1843. June 23, 1853 he married Miss Sarah M. Rice, a native of Georgetown
\nDistrict, S.C., born in 1836, and they have five children: Thomas A., Jr.,
\nEugene R., Charles McHenry, Albert Sydney, and Mary L., all living. Dr.
\nAnthony came to Lauderdale County, April 4, 1843, and engaged in the practice
\nof medicine, which he still successfully continues. With his wife he belongs
\nto the Missionary Baptist Church. Dr. Anthony has divided his land among his
\nchildren. He has been a resident of Lauderdale County for forty-three years
\nand is a most agreeable, pleasant gentleman.<\/p>\n
