ANSTAY November 08, 1823 ~ July 28, 1887 Biographical and Historical Record of Ringgold and Decatur Counties Iowa Lewis Pub. Co. Chicago. 1887. WILLIAM ANSTEY, section 5, Grand River Township, is a native of England, born in Gloucestershire, November 8, 1823, a son of WILLIAM and HANNAH (COOK) ANSTEY. He remained with his parents until manhood, assisting in the work on the farm, and in his youth attended the schools of his native country. He was the sixth of a family of nine children, having five brothers, JOHN, THOMAS, GEORGE, HENRY, AND ROBERT – older, and three sisters, HANNAH, EMMA, and CATHERINE – younger than himself. In 1850 he came to America, and located first at Dubuque, Iowa, where he engaged in teaming and lead-mining five years. He then bought a farm of forty acres, which he sold two years later and went to Delaware County, where he was employed in breaking prairie land for some time, and there bought 110 acres of improved land, paying $3.00 for it. In February, 1875, he moved to Grand River Township, Decatur County, and bought the farm where he now lives, which contains 280 acres. At that time its only building was a log-cabin, and but twenty-five acres were under cultivation. He has improved it and brought it all under cultivation, and now has one of the best farms in the county. His residence is a good story-and-a-half house, surrounded by shade and ornamental trees. His farm buildings are large and comfortable, and he has a fine orchard of 500 trees. When Mr. ANSTEY came to Iowa he had but 50 cents, and his fine property has been accumulated by hard work, economy and good management. He was married September 11, 1863, to Mrs. MARY (BINNING) HEWLETT, a native of Somersetshire, England, born October 12, 1829, daughter of JEFFERY and JOAN (WALL) BINNING, and widow of WILLIAM HEWLETT. By her first marriage she had five children - SARAH JANE, JOHN, TAMARA, and MARY ANN. Mr. and Mrs. ANSTEY have three children – FRED, WILLIAM, and MINNIE. In politics Mr. ANSTEY is Republican. He and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
