St. Paul's Parish Vestry

1 Oct 1707 - Pursuant to an order of the court dated July 28, 1707, appointing Mr. David Anderson & Samuel Waddy to clear the Pamonkey River on the south side thereof from Piping Tree to Hardings Landing, formerly Youels, they applying themselves to this vestry for assistance with instruments or materials to comply with the order of the court. This vestry has thought that this parish is not able to comply with that order.

Piping Tree is along the Pamunkey tree in the northeast corner of the bend that occurs just above the border between current New Kent County and Hanover County. It is downstream from Totoppotomeys Creek. This bend sticks into KIng WIlliam County and suggests the reason so many records of this family reference a residence of King WIlliam County.

Dear Pat:

As an Anderson descendant of David (#4), David (#24), Robert (#87) and Susannah (#324), I am interested in your website and have found it very helpful. I do have some additions and corrections to make.

First, Robert Anderson (#87) would not have been age 14 in 1835 when a guardian was appointed for him. IF he had been, he could have appointed his own, the court would not have had to do so. [See Val D. Greenwood, The Researcher's Guide to American Genealogy (Baltimore: Gen'l Pub. Co., 1990) 2nd. edition page 266.

The first known act of Robert and Frances together as husband and wife is known to be in 1746, when Robert must have been age 21 at least. The two probably had been married a year. Even so, 1746 minus 1735 makes Robert, if 21 in 1746, ten or eleven years old in 1735 and therefore born about 1724 or 1725. That 1735 date comes, of course, from the appointment of a guardian by the Hanover County Court (Record 330) and the 1746 one from the time the land patented by his father David (#24) was sold by the two of them to Richard Ambler. [VA Magazine of History and Biography (1905) Volume 12 page 205.

You do not give a reference for the marriage of Frances and Robert, but the place and time have got to be off. The Poindexters lived in that part of New Kent which became Hanover and later Louisa County. And Robert would have been too young to marry in 1739 if less than age 14 in 1735. Unless, of course, he married at age 17. I think W. P. Anderson is probably correct in his idea that the two were newly married when that Ambler deed was signed.

There has been some controversy over which Anderson Frances Poindexter married and the standard Poindexter genealogy [John Poindexter Landers, last chapter by Robert Downs Poindexter, Poingdestre-Poindexter A Norman Family Through the Ages 1250-1977, Austin, TX: Robert Downs Poindexter, 1977] is silent on which Anderson she married. However, Frances IS called Frances Anderson in both her mother and father's wills.

John Poindexter died before 22 May 1753, when his will was recorded [Louisa CO Will Book 1 page 27]. He named Robert Anderson one of his three executors and that Robert so served can be seen in a deed whereby he and Christian (John's widow and executor) deeded to Thomas Poindexter (the third executor) ten slaves left Thomas by his father. [Louisa CO Deed Book C-D1/2 oage 466; recorded 22 May 1753]

Christian Poindexter wrote her will 25 June 1778 and in it says, "My dau. Frances Anderson being dead I give her part to her children ... ." [Louisa CO Will Book 2 page 358, recorded 14 June 1779] This gives us an approximate date for Frances' death.

When Robert (#87) died intestate, and with Frances deceased, eldest son David (# 316) received Robert's entire estate through primogeniture. [Primogeniture was not abolished in this country until 1786.]

On 28 June 1782, David divided the 1000 acres Robert left him on Peters Creek among his six siblings [Robert, John, Ann, Suzannah (sic), Kitty (sic) and Sally), reserving 1/7th. for himself. This implises that Elizabeth and Frances were either deceased or had been provided for at the time of their marriages.

This land went unsold for many years. In the meantime the siblings made out two powers of attorney in Kentucky, both of which were recorded in Louisa County. [The first was executed on 23 Sept 1803 (Jessamine CO Deed Book A pp. 447-447) and recorded in Louisa CO, VA on 10 Apr 1810! (Louisa Deed Book L pp. 431-432). Parties to this did not include either Catherine (Anderson) Holladay or Robert Anderson. The second power of attorney was to a Joel Miller, ....... It was executed on 23 Sep 1818 in Jessamine CO, KY, and recorded on 27 Oct 1818 in Louisa CO, VA (Louisa Deed Book O pp. 77-79). As I found this first in Louisa CO I did not check Jessamine for the deed book in which it was recorded. John P. Anderson had died since the first p-o-a was signed and this time "Zachariah Holladay and Catherine Holladay his wife late Catherine Anderson of the County of Adair" were a party to the p-o-a, plus the other living siblings, including Robert Anderson.

Though appointed administrator of his father's estate, David died before the estate was settled. This duty fell to William Poindexter, whose security was his brother John. [Louisa CO Will Book 3 page 113] Appointed administrator for David's estate was his brother John Anderson (#320). [Louisa CO Will Book 3 page 113] However, he was not the eldest son, but was the eldest living in Louisa. Robert and his sisters were living in Bedford County at this time. Ann and Catherine Anderson were witnesses to the will of the father of John Miller (who married Susannah Anderson (#324). It was signed 2 June 1784 and proved 28 February 1785. [Bedford CO Will Book 2 pages 490-491] Probably because David left so much land which needed to be located and sold, John left Louisa County for Bedford himself. The administration of David's estate then fell to William Poindexter. [Louisa CO Will Book 3 page 173] Prior to this Robert was declared by Bedford Court as "heir at law" to David and this term appears in the first power of attorney the siblings made. [Bedford CO Order Book 7 page 277, recorded 28 July 1784.

There is no record that David served in the Revolutionary War in any capacity. However, he bought up soldier's land warrants and at the time of his death owned thousands of acres of warrant land in Kentucky and also Tennessee. Robert and John spend years locating and selling this land. Some idea of how much land he owned can be seen in the part of it Robert sold to his father-in-law, William Reed - "1450 acres, 1922 acres, 147 acres in District of Kentucky." [Bedford CO Conveyance Book 8 page 334, recorded 1790] And again in a power of attorney granted his brother John "to convey land on Russel's (sic) Creek [KY], land on Tennessee River and 12,000 acres of "Wilderness Tract." [Bedford CO Conveyance Book 8 pages 503-504] There is much more like this in the Bedford Conveyance Books, amounting to thousands of acres.

I have an abstracted will for John P. Anderson (#320) and another for the husband of Ann Anderson (#325), Archeleus Moon, both naming children. I have Zachariah Holliday's pension application; he married Katherine (Kitty) Anderson #321 and the two left many descendants.About Sally (#322) and her husband Joseph Higbee I know very little.

If and when I ever get it all together - again! - I'll see you get a copy.

All best wishes,

Bonnie (Miller) Gunsaulus

Hi Patrick!

I noticed a posting one of your postings on the Anderson genforum. I was looking for one connection but may have found another. I have both an Anderson and a Poindexter line. What caught my attention was your posting regarding CSA Gen Samuel Anderson. I'm interested in the Poindexter connection in his lineage. I have a John Poindexter who married a Christian Gissage-Gorsuch c. 1727 in Hanover County, Virginia.

Could this be the same John and Christian as mentioned in Samuel's lineage? John was born in 1701 in Hanover County and died in 1753 in Fredericksville Parish, Louisa County, Virginia. Christian was borm in 1700 in King William County, Virginia and died in Jan. 1779 in Fredericksville Parish, Louisa County, Virginia. I have two known children - Thomas and Sarah.

Please let me know what you think. I have a great deal of info on the Poindexter line I can share with you. I also have some info on the Anderson line which may tie in as well.

Warm Regards,

Denise

Pat, I know you enjoy a good wrangle (sometimes so do I). However, I haven't time for it presently.

Robert Anderson (m. Frances Poindexter) d. intestate. David Anderson, "Junr.", became administrator. His securities were Turner Anderson and William Poindexter, his uncle or first cousin. The date was 9 Apr. 1782. (Louisa Will Book 2 p. 447) On 28 Jun 1782 David Anderson "for the natural affection which he Bears to his said Brothers & Sisters Above mentioned as parties of the second part (Robert, John, Ann, Suzannah, Kitty & Sally) & for the consideration of the sum of one shilling & three pence by them to him in hand paid the receipt Whereof he Doth hereby Acknowledge & Confess Hath Given Granted Bargained & sold & hereby Doth Give Grant Bargain Sell make over & Confirm unto them & each of them Respectively join Right & title Interest & Claim Equal to ? in Common With the Said David Anderson to all that Tract or Parcell of land lying & being in the County of Louisa on peters Creek Whereof our father the late Robert Anfderson was in his Lifetime Possesed together with all the Residue of that Tract or parcel of Land purchased by him of James Johnson adjoining the aforesaid together with all Buildings Ways Woods Waters Rents & fees & profits & all & Singular the Appurtenances in anywise appertaining to the said Land the said David only Reserving to himself his Heirs and assigns forever an equal dividend or portion (?) of one seventh part the residue in Equal parts to his six brothers and sisters to wit Robert John Ann Suzanah Kittey (sic) and Sally their Equal parts of the said Land To in fee simple To have and hole (sic) for ever without ? hindrance or Mollestation claim or demand From the said David his Heirs or Assigns or any Person or Persons Claiming by from or under them or any of them of the said Robert Ann Suzanah Kitty & Sally Anderson their heirs & assigns forever." It was sealed and delivered in the presence of James Johnson, Zach Stanley and Peter Crawford "At Court Held at the Courthouse of Louisa County July 8th. 1782." Louisa Deed Book H pp.207-208)

I believe Elizabeth and Frances were not party to this because they had been taken care of (doweries) at the time of their marriages. The other sisters were unmarried at this time.

W.P. Anderson in Anderson-Overton says (p. 47) that David died without heirs.

On 14 Sep 1785 John Anderson posted the administrator's bond for the estate of David Anderson. His securities were his brother-in-law Archeleus Moone, cousin Waddy Thomson, and Moses White (who may have been the father or brother of John White who married Frances Anderson). (Louisa Will Book 3 p.113)

On the same page under date of 10 Oct 1785 William Pondxter posted the bond as administrator of Robert Anderson. His security was his brother or nephew John Poindexter.

Pat, this is beginning to sound familiar. I know I wrote you that Robert Anderson, David's brother, was declared "heir at law" to David in Bedford County and subsequently gave a power-of-attorney to John to locate and sell some of the land David had acquired in Kentucky and along the Tennessee River. Subsequently the brothers and sisters living in KY made out two powers of attorney to sell that land.

The first power of attorney made by the siblings was in Jessamine CO, KY, in favor of John P. Anderson. It reads in part: "land in the County of Louisa and in the said State of Virginia which decended (sic) from Robert Anderson deceased to David Anderson as his heir at law and conveyed by the [sd.] David to us as Children and heirs of the said Robert. VIZ: Ann Moon formerly Ann Anderson, John Miller and Susanna his wife formerly Susanna Anderson daughter of said Robert Anderson and Joseph Higbee and Salley (sic) his wife formerly Salley Anderson also daughter of Robert Anderson and also for us and in our name ... ." It goes on to state that there is a mortgage on the property "given to secure the payment of a British debt" and possibly "liable to other debts due by the said Robert in his lifetime ... ." This was executed on 23 Sept 1803 (Jessamine CO Deed Book A pp. 447-447) and recorded in Louisa CO, VA on 10 Apr 1810! (Louisa Deed Book L pp. 431-432). Parties to this did not include either Catherine (Anderson) Holladay or Robert Anderson.

The second power of attorney was to a Joel Miller, who though called friend and "relative," was not a relative, but a medical-doctor friend of John B. Miller's son Dr. Beverly Miller and John's son-in-law Dr. Everard Meade Patterson to whom his daughter Margaret Tate Miller was married. It was executed on 23 Sep 1818 in Jessamine CO, KY, and recorded on 27 Oct 1818 in Louisa CO, VA (Louisa Deed Book O pp. 77-79). As I found this first in Louisa CO I did not check Jessamine for the deed book in which it was recorded. John P. Anderson had died since the first p-o-a was signed and this time "Zachariah Holladay and Catherine Holladay his wife late Catherine Anderson of the County of Adair" were a party to the p-o-a, plus the other living siblings, including Robert Anderson. It reads in part, " ... for the purpose of attending to, and adjusting all our unsettled business of whatever description in the state of Virginia relative to the estate both real and personal of Col. Robert Anderson dec'd late of Louisa County and of David Anderson his son."

This can be found in Michael C. Watson, Adair County, Kentucky Civil Suit Index 1802-1826 (Columbia, KY: Watson Pub., n.d.) p. 30. The suit was filed prior to 1819 and refiled a second time on 8 June 1824 in box 9; it is said to contain 37 pages. This suit mentions land entered to David and surveyed 4 Dec 1786. On 8 Aug 1801 a patent was issued "for 3.200 acres to John P. Anderson, assignee of Robert Anderson who was heir at law of David Anderson." Elizabeth, John P.'s wife, claimed she had not given up her dower rights when it was sold.

Finally let me quote from Maurine and Glen Harris, comps., Concise Genealogical Dictionary (SLC: Ancestry, 1989) page 128: Junior (also Jr.) the youngest of two persons having the same name - the two persons were not necessarily related, especially before the nineteenth century. When the older of the two died the younger often assumed the Sr. title or dropped the title altogether.

Dear Pat,

Thanks for an excellent web site on the Andersons. I'm a descendant of Archelaus Moon and Ann Anderson, daughter of Robert Anderson and Francis Poindexter. Since you don't have anything on them yet, I thought you might like some information on this family. Ann was actually Archelaus Moon's second wife. His previous wife was Blanche Higbee, by whom he had three children before her death, (c.1783). Archelaus Moon was born ca. 1750, in New Kent Co.,VA., the son of Jacob Moon, and died before Jul.11,1796, in Fayette Co.,KY.

Archelaus Moon married. 1st, (ca.1777), Blanche Higbee. The children of this marriage were: Josiah Pleasant Moon, (b.ca.1778), md, (Sep.18,1806 Charlotte,VA), Elizabeth McKinney; Martha M, (ca.1780), who married, (apr.10,1804 Charlotte,VA), George C.Friend; and Elizabeth Ann Moon, (ca.1783).

Archelaus Moon and Ann Anderson were married Dec.29,1784, in Bedford CO.,VA. They were still in Bedford Co. as of May 27,1792, [when Archelaus served as executor of his brother Jacob Moon Jr.'s estate], but settled in Fayette Co.,KY before his death, (ca.1795/96). They had seven children:

1. Frances Poindexter Moon, (b.ca.1786 Bedford,VA - d.1820 Jessamine,KY), married, (Nov.27,1806 Jessamine,KY), Thomas Nuttall, (b.ca.1776 Strabane Twp., Washington Co.,PA - d.1822 Jessamine Co.,KY), son of Elijah Nuttall and Mary Price. [After Frances died Thomas married Nancy Pollard, who subsequently md. Albert Herndon]. Thomas and Frances Moon Nuttall had three children: Elijah Anderson Nuttall, (1813/13 Fayette Co.,KY - d.bef.May 1874 Honey Creek Twp., Crawford IL), md., (Jun.6,1835 Henry,KY), Rebecca Nuttall, (1813-1880), his 1st cousin, daughter of Price Brewington Nuttall Sr. and Mary Ditto; Thomas Price Nuttall, (b.1815/17 Fayette KY - d. ca.1834/35 Henry KY); and Archelaus Moon Nuttall, (Feb.28,1818 Fayette,KY - Aug.14,1896 Honey Creek Twp., Crawford,IL), md., (Sep.24,1838 Henry,KY), Mary Frances Nuttall, (1818-1890), his first cousin, daughter of Price Brewington Nuttall Sr. and Mary Ditto. [Archelaus Moon Nuttall, his brother Elijah Anderson Nuttall, and their wives are all buried in the Nuttall Cem., Honey Creek Twp.,Crawford IL]. Archelaus Moon Nuttall was my great-great-grand father.

2. John Anderson Moon, (ca.1787 Bedford VA - Dec.21,1850 Howard MO), married, (dec 1819), Jane M.Richards, (1800-1878). They had 11 children: Archelaus Moon, (b.1820), md. Catherine Calvert; John Milton Moon, (b.1822 KY), md.Lucetta Yeger; Ann Anderson Moon, (1823-1888); Mary Etta Moon, (b.1825), md.,(1842), Richard Dudley Baskett; Alexander Moon, (b.1826); Elizabeth Jane Moon, (b.1830), md.Henry Venamen; Dulena Moon, (b.1832 MO), md. Silas A. Downey; Viana Moon, (b.ca.1834 MO); Parthenia Moon, (b.1837 MO), md.John R.Krause; Martha Frances Moon, (b.1839 MO), md. Joseph Kirby; and Albina Moon, (b.abt.1843), md. John R.Krause.

3. Susanna Cobb Moon, (b.1790), md.,(apr.15,1813 Lexington,Fayette,KY), Lewis W.Pilcher. They had at least five children: Margaret Pilcher, (b.jun.20,1822 Fayette,KY); Amanda, (ca.1824), md.,(jan.13,1848 Sullivan MO), Samuel Harris; Lewis W. Jr., (1830 Howard MO), md. Millie Spencer; Charles, (b.1833 Howard MO); and Cassandra, (nov.22,1838 Howard MO), md., (dec.11 1856 Sullivan CO), John W.Thomas.

4. Nancy Dabney Moon, (ca.1793), md.,(aug.4,1816 Fayette KY), John Beverley Pilcher. [children still unknown at present.]

5. Kitty Anderson Moon md.James W.Eastin [need dates]

6. Sallie Anderson Moon md. Joel Sanders [need dates]

I'll try sending more later. Since I haven't been working on this line for a while, most of my records for the Moons, Andersons, and Poindexters are in boxes right now. What I've sent here is based on what can be found in my computer files, and therefore somewhat limited. In addition to the Andersons and the Moons, I've also done a great deal of research on the Dabney descendants. There are a few

problems with your information on this family which need to be corrected. Susanna Swann, who later married David Anderson, was Cornelius Dabney's second wife. His first wife, Edith ---, was the mother of at least four children: George, (ca.1670 - Oct.1729); Dorothy; Sarah; and James. Cornelius Dabney and Susanna Swann had at least two children: Cornelius Jr.,(1686 -1764\65), who md, (1721), Sarah

Jennings; and Mary, (Jan.22,1688 - sep 7,1748), who married Thomas Carr. Ruth ------, who married, (ca.1714), James Trice, was a daughter of Susanna Swann was a daughter of Susanna Swann. But there's some disagreement as to who her father may have been: Cornelius Dabney, (ca.1640-1693), or David Anderson. I tend to suspect she was David Anderson's daughter, based on later dates for her descendants, but this could be wrong.

Ok, I've got to stop for now, thanks once again for an excellent site and keep up the good work.

Dear Pat: You were most kind to deand me a couple months ago information on Frances Anderson marriage to Thomas Ammon. I did find one source in the History of Louisa County by Malcolm Harris which I wrote to you about. When I was in the states(I live in Italy) I found additional source for this marriage, since it was not confirmed in the book by William Pope Anderson.

The addtional sources: Marriages of Some Virginia Residents 1607-1800, Volumn 1 list Thomas Ammon and Elizabeth Anderson.

History of Louisa County Virginia, Malcolm Harris. page 256.

I found these sources at the Huntington Library in California. I hope this helps others who need a confirmation of the marriage. I do have a question about the Massie link, I have seen Ceclia Massie connected to other parents in the Massie rootsweb pages. I understand that Penelope sister also married a Massie and that is the confusion.

Thanks again for your help. Mary Wyatt

Hi Pat. Bonnie Gunseaulus e-mailed me your web site address but I just get a mesage that says "Not found on this server." I descend from Rev. Thomas Ammon and Elizabeth Anderson's daughter Elizabeth who married Robert McClelland in Millersburg, Bourbon Co. KY. Bonnie says that your web site is great. Wonder how I can acces it?

Notes for Betsy Rice:

Elizabeth Rice was the daughter of Fisher Rice, said to be the son of Henry and Margaret (Bohannon) Rice and Agnes Pulliam, said to be the daughter of Thomas and Winifred (Holladay) Pulliam. [From the LDS Ancestral File]

In a Civil Suit filed before 1819 by "Betsy" there is a discrepancy in her maiden name, which is said to be Reed. However, the children bear 6 Rice names, including "Rice Anderson." They are: Nancy, Agnes, Jefferson, George and Betsy. Robert, David, and Ann(Nancy is nickname for Ann)are Anderson names. Hope this helps.

Samuel R. Anderson was born in Feb. 1804 in Bedford County, Virginia. He died in 1883. On 25 Nov. 1824, he married Susan A. Miller 1799-1844, daughter of John B. and Susannah (Anderson) Miller--dau. of Robert Anderson. I am seeking the names of his parents. Some sources have indicated that his wife Susan Miller was a cousin of his in relation to her mother who was an Anderson. Does anyone know this family?

Samuel was a man of many talents. By occupation, he was a farmer, merchant, cashier of the Bank of Nashville, Tennessee, and was the postmaster for Nashville, Tennessee for eight years. He reached the rank of "Lt. Colonel of the First Tennessee Regiment, 'The Bloody First,' in the war with Mexico. On May 9, 1861, he was commissioned a Major General in the State Troops and Brigadier General in the provisional army of the Confederate States on July 9, and on August 5 was assigned to the command of a brigade, which included the First, Seventh, and Fourteenth Tennessee Regiment of infantry for service in the mountains of West Virginia under General Loring. Later he served under Lee, Jaskcon, Magruder and Archer. On November 4, 1854, he was recommissioned Brigadier General. After the close of the war, he returned to Tennessee..." He also served under General Joseph E. Johnson in the Peninsula Campaign. After his wife Susan died, he married Mary Parker Turner. After her death, he married Sue Trousdale Allen. Any additional information would be appreciated!

35 ii. Mary Anderson, born May 10, 1789. She married David Robertson Cole.

14. Susanna⁹ Anderson (Robert⁸, David⁷, David⁶, Robert⁵, Richard⁴, Richard³, York Watershed², Colonial Virginia¹) was born Abt. 1762. She married John B. Miller September 22, 1783 in Bedford County, Virginia.

Pat, many thanks for your e-mail. It is much appreciated. Your website is great and has helped me a lot. I still have lots of questions, mainly because I usually find what I'm looking for in the last 20 minutes at any repository. Am trying to get W.P.A. (Anderson-Overton) on library loan to look at page 40 (it is in print; I ought to break down and buy a copy!) and Susanna (Swan) Anderson's will. It is abstracted on page 106 of WPA's Anderson Records, where she is said to have first married Cornelius Dabney. You don't mention that so am curious.

I descend from Robert Anderson who married Frances Poindexter, through their daughter Susannah who married John B. Miller. Susannah's sister Ann Moone, who married Archeleus, gave one of her daughters Dabney as a middle name, so I took page 106 to be accurate. I could find no other connection through Moons or Poindexters.

When you trace names like Anderson and Miller you have to do all the collaterals so I have ended up with a lot of stuff not my own. And I thought I was doing a pedigree, not a genealogy. I've had 2 crashes, which clobbered not just the hard drive, but back-ups. Find in re-reading the originals I often get a different slant, so sometimes it is a blessing.

Again, thank you for your e-mail and for keeping up the website. All much appreciated, believe me. Bonnie Gunsaulus
