    Notes:

    Homer L Anthony's first wife Morgianna was his cousin.

    According to the gravestone of his second wife, Maggie in the McGehee-White Cemetery, Dr. HL Anthony married in December, 1854.

    Found on the 1860 census for DeSoto County Mississippi as a physician in the home of the Dillahunty family. Dr. Anthony's net worth is $10,000. No mention of wife or children.

    For the 1870 census, HL Anthony, 40 is living with Mollie Bowdre (his new wife), age 22. Mollie has a daughter named Hosia, age 3. Also living in the home is a child named Homer, age 8, possibly a nephew but not a son, given that his first wife died in 1857, before this young man was born. HL Anthony's net worth in 1870 is $5,000.

    For the 1900 Census, Homer's name was falsely given as "Henry L. Anthony", but it is the same man, married to his fourth wife, Augusta (they have been married for 15 years). He is living in Ashley County Arkansas.

    Attended the first Baptist World Alliance in London, England in 1904 with Rev. Penn Arthur Anthony. He was killed/murdered in 1907 in London, shortly before marrying for the seventh time (engaged to Martha Davis Anthony).

    According to Jack Dandridge in an Anthony Family Genealogy Forum letter dated October 1, 2002:

    "... Dr. Homer Anthony ... was murdered. This is a really interesting story. Homer was one of 9 children of William Henry Anthony, Snr. (1798-1866) and Sarah Echols (1811-1853). In January 1853 after the death of his first wife Morgiana in Aug 1852, he moved to Mississippi, where he practiced medicine for 21 years including service in the Confederate Army. He was a surgeon in Armstrong's Brigade and then had charge of a field hospital. Later he was transferred to Jackson, Miss.; afterward to Atlanta, Ga. After the war, he returned to and remained in Mississippi until 1874 when he moved to Ashley Co., Ark. There he divided his time with his profession and planting. He owned 640 acres. In 1880 he was living with his sixth wife, formerly Miss Augusta Shelton of Louisana; they had no children. He was a Mason and a Whig. (Anthony Roots & Branches p.347).

    In 1904, on the way to the 1st Baptist World Alliance Convention in London Dr. Homer Anthony showed his shipmate and cousin, Rev. Penn Anthony, a picture of Homer's intended 7th wife, Martha Davis Anthony. While in London, Homer's body was found, absent his money belt, dead on a side road in or near London. Rev. Penn Anthony wrote to Homer's brother for instructions on shipping Homer's body back to the U.S. Uncertain as to which of his six wives to bury him beside, his family instructed Rev. Anthony to have him interred in London.

    Homer married Morgianna Anthony on 27 Apr 1852 in , Campbell, Virginia, USA. Morgianna (daughter of Rev Charles Anthony and Martha Davis Haden) was born on 8 Mar 1834 in Walnut Hill, Evington, Campbell, Virginia, USA; died on 8 Aug 1852 in , Pittsylvania, Virginia, USA; was buried in , Campbell, Virginia, USA.
