During the Civil War, citizens of Missouri were often victims as the Union army, Missouri Partisan Rangers (guerrillas allied with the Confederacy), and Kansas Redlegs (allied with the Federal forces) engaged in skirmishes in western Missouri. The guerrillas spent the winter of 1863 and 1864 in Grayson County, Texas. Lt. William T. Anderson married Miss Bush Smith in Sherman 3 October 1864. William T. "Bill" Anderson, who was known as "Bloody Bill" Anderson because he showed no mercy to captives, was killed 26 October 1864 in Missouri.
His sisters, Mary Ellen, Josephine, and Martha Jane, and other Confederate female sympathizers, were imprisoned by the Union forces for aiding the guerrillas. The building in which they were imprisoned collapsed; some women were killed, including Josephine Anderson, Mary Ellen was said to be seriously injured and crippled for life, and Martha Jane was not seriously injured. After the death of William T. Anderson, his brother James Monroe (Jim Anderson) brought his two surviving sisters to Sherman. Mollie (Mary Ellen) married Alexander V. Doak, and Mattie (Martha Jane) married Elbridge Geary Douglass. Both marriages were in Sherman. Mattie died in Murray County, Oklahoma.
On 28 June 1865 Molly (Mary Ellen) Anderson married A. V. Deak (Alexander V. Doak) in Grayson County, Texas. In the 1870 Texas census, Refugio County, A. V. Doaks, 28, is a wharf clerk. His wife Mary, 24, is from Missouri. Their daughter Edith is 4, and son William is 2.
In the 1880 TX census, Grayson County, Alx. V. Doak, 38, and Mary E., 33, have 3 children. Edith is 14; William is 12; and Claude is 7. Alex is a speculator in Denison.
In the 1900 Indian Territory census, Chickasaw Nation, Alexander V. Doak, 58, and Mary, 52, have one child, Claude, remaining in the home. Alexander is a government contractor and Claude is a medical student.
Mary Ellen Anderson Doak died 7 November 1903 in Carter County, Oklahoma, and is buried in Rose Hill Cemetery, Ardmore, Carter County Oklahoma.
Her obituary appeared in The Daily Ardmoreite, Nov 8, 1903. Among relatives listed in the obituary was her sister, Mrs. E. G. Douglass of Richmond, Texas. That relationship confirms that she was the sister of William T. Anderson and James Monroe Anderson, Missouri Partisan Rangers, usually called guerrillas.
