He married Rebecca R Cook, who was born Mar 15, 1801 in Hardy, Bedford Co, Virginia and died in 1866, Millersburg, Holmes Co, Ohio.

Anson built the first two-story building in the town of Millersburg. The ground floor was used as his metal shop and the family lived upstairs. Later they lived in a house in or near Millersburg.

Anson and Rebecca remained in the vicinity of Millersburg for the rest of their lives. He was active in the community. When Holmes County was established, he was the first coroner. Along the way he once taught school. He was recorded as a surveyor in a near-by village and on the Port Washington Road, the first mail route in the area.

Anson is buried in a marked grave in a family group of six graves. One grave is unmarked and is believed to be that of Rebecca, who survived him.
