Descendants of George Anderson
Generation No. 1
1. George3 Anderson (North Side2, Colonial Virginia1) (Source:
Library of Virginia, Virginia Land Office Patents and Grants, (http://198.17.62.51/collections/LO.html),
"Electronic.") was born Bef. 1700 in Scotland, and died 1778 in
Bedford Co., Virginia. He married (1)
?. He married (2) Ann ?. She was born Bef. 1710.
Notes for George
Anderson:
George Anderson is likely the brother of
John Anderson whose four sons settled in Augusta County. Accordingly the familiy traditions of that
John state that he had a brother George and was reputedly born in Scotland and
moved to Ulster, Ireland before coming to Philadelphia. George and John were
likely then still residents of Philadelphia when they patented lands in the
area of central Virginia and shortly thereafter relocated there.
Caution, George Anderson moved through
the Augusta County Region and his records may become confused with his allegded
nephew and grandnephew of Augusta who had lands in Augusta and were referred to
as George Sr. and George Jr.

Notes on George
Anderson d1778
It is known that
George Anderson d1778 had records in VA in 1730s,
Spotsylvania Co VA
deed Cpl3, In 1734 Wm. Crawford made a deed of gift to Benjamin Coward &
wife Elizabeth! 100 acres on upper side of Elk Run joining Thos Jackson, Wm.
Crawford jun, & Thos Crawford. Witnesses were D. Bryne, George Anderson
(his mark), William Crawford jun.
(The mark George
Anderson d1778 used was not an 'x', but was a rather elaborate capital 'A'.
This 'A' appears as the mark on Spots deed Cpl3).
Culpeper Co VA deed
BpP55-57, 1753, When George Anderson (mark 'A') wife Ann sold 100 acres to
George Thompson in 1753 (on or near Elk Run), the deed said the patent was made
to George Anderson in 1735. Witnesses were Nathan Underwood, Thomas Cofer (mark
"T"), & George Eastham.
The will of George
Anderson d1778 mentions’’my wife's son Thomas Cofer". Josias Cofer s/o
Thomas Cofer d1791 was named executor.
In 1745 Thomas Cofer
bought 70 acres on Elk Run in Madison Co VA, which tract joined the 1735/6
patent of George Anderson d1778.
In 1747 Thomas Cofer
bought an additional 90 acres, and Nathan Underwood d1802 witnessed the deed.
Thomas Cofer wrote his
will in 1785, and died in 1791. It names the children Below, and appointed
George Anderson (son of George dl778) & Joel Cofer as executors. Witnesses
were Nathan Underwood 'd1802, Joseph Underwood (son of Nathan), and Charles
Cocke.
The following
recordings of the name probably refer to George Anderson SR dl778, or to his
son of the same name.
1742 George Anderson
(SR?), Nathan Underwood, & George Anderson (Jr.?) were all in the same
company of Augusta militia. VA COLONIAL MILITIA By Crozier p92 (eiditor note:
this record may belong to George Sr. and Jr. of Augusta County.]
1744 George Anderson,
Henry Dooley etc. were viewers of a road from the south side of the Shenandoah
to the Falls of the Rappahannock. Orange Co VA order 4p218.

Hi Patrick,
[snip]
I have been
researching the Cof(f)er/Copher family for many years but have hit a brick wall
with a Thomas Cofer who died testate in Culpeper County, VA (will proved there
1791). It is known that Thomas' mother's name was Ann(e). Some time after the
death of Thomas Cofer's father (name unknown), Ann(e) married George Anderson
of Culpeper. This George Anderson later moved to Bedford County, VA where he
died testate. I have some information on the movements of George Anderson and
he may be the George Anderson who was in St. Anne's parish, Essex County, VA in
the late 1720s. I live in Essex County, having moved here about 4 years ago. In
fact, I attend Vauter's Episcopal Church (completed in 1731) which is the upper
church of St. Anne's parish.
In any case, I've
spent a good deal of time trying to link my Thomas Cofer (d.c.1791) to the
Cof(f)er line of Charles County, MD. The progenitor of the Charles County lines
appears to be a John Cofer who was transported to VA by Nathaniel Pope probably
in the 1660s. He was claimed as a headright in 1666 by Thomas Pope (Nathaniel's
son) and John Washington of Westmoreland County, VA. John Cofer was in Charles
County, MD by at least 1673 according to the MD records. Interestingly, the
Charles County Cofer line had a connection to Thomas Plunkett who died in
Charles c.1717 (year his will was proved). This Thomas Plunkett did not seem to
have any children.
I have done some work
on Virginia Plunket(t) lines trying to find a link to the Cof(f)er line. When I
saw your post on Lawrence Anderson and a Mary Plunket, I became very interested,
especially since you note their children were born in Maryland.
I'd be very
appreciative of the sources of your information on Mary Plunket, and the
Maryland connection. Also, are you familiar with the
George Anderson of
Orange/Culpeper/Bedford I mentioned? I have some further information on him
from a book on the Underwood family.
Sincerely,
Mike Marshall

Hi! It has been a while since I have been in
touch with you. You have my information
posted on your Anderson web site about the John Anderson family of Augusta Co.,
VA. Recently I have gotten several
messages pertaining to that site, which I had forgotten all about. My sister and I have since updated that
information in some vital ways, and it is posted on my sister's web site:
Thought you might like
to know and maybe just provide a link to that site rather than the information,
since that is where we will post the updated information when we have it.
Hope all is going well
with your research. Chris Kraft

Pat,
I see you have pretty
well studied Anderson's, I have been studying my Anderson's now for three years
. I think we spoke to one another when I first started with this on Rootsweb
Anderson list .
I would like to send
you a zip file and four documents to study , I would like to find out when
this Anderson branch came into Virginia
.
I have also some
missing people in the file that is very important to my husband's family. I
can't seem to find the information on the net and can't get to the area's that
the information should be at .
If I knew how to send
these files by email to you it would be faster. I have a scanner, zip, and
still haven't yet learned how to use them.
I don't think the
documents would scan well enough for you to read them.
I should have started
out by telling you the Anderson line that I have is George Anderson from along
the Rapidan River , in a little Town called Wolftown today near Standersvillie.
The first date I have is 1798. I have a will for him from Madison Co.
He names his wife and
children : (w)Mary Anderson Obediah
must of been his oldest child for he is named first ,he is the one I have been
following through, the rest of the
children read as followed he gives the last name of all children Anderson.
My son Jacob
My son Uriel
My son Augustine
My son George
My son Joel
My daughter Peggy
Simpson
My daughter Molly
I give to my granddaughter
Mary Anderson , daughter of my son George.
I send you this to let
you know where I start. Their is another George, I think that is this George's
father , but I can't prove it.

Pat,
Will for George
Anderson at a court for Madison County on Thursday the 26th day of July 1798 .
wife is Mary Anderson
children are: son
Obediah , son Jacob , son Uriel , son Augustine , son George , son Joel ,
daughter Peggy Simpson , daughter Molly , grand daughter Mary daughter of my
son George , he named three sons as his exceutors , Obediah , Jacob , Uriah(
this is the same son he calls Uriel at the beging of the will) but it is
spelled Uriah when he names him one of the exceutors.
The George you mention in Bedford , I
think is this George's father and had left him this land , and if you noticed
he did have a son George who already had a grand daughter named Mary after his
mother their is no mention of this George's wife .
In 1832 I have a Land Division of
Obediah Anderson (who had died of Typhoid in Camp Lee)& Cathrine Conrad (
his wife) her part was laid off as her
dower rights It was on the Madison tract . This Obediah must be the son of the

Pat,
Will for George
Anderson at a court for Madison County on Thursday the 26th day of July 1798 .
wife is Mary Anderson
children are: son
Obediah , son Jacob , son Uriel , son Augustine , son George , son Joel ,
daughter Peggy Simpson , daughter Molly , grand daughter Mary daughter of my
son George , he named three sons as his exceutors , Obediah , Jacob , Uriah(
this is the same son he calls Uriel at the beging of the will) but it is
spelled Uriah when he names him one of the exceutors.
The George you mention
in Bedford , I think is this George's father and had left him this land , and
if you noticed he did have a son George who already had a grand daughter named
Mary after his mother their is no mention of this George's wife .
In 1832 I have a Land
Division of Obediah Anderson (who had died of Typhoid in Camp Lee)&
Cathrine Conrad ( his wife) her part
was laid off as her dower rights It was on the Madison tract . This
Obediah must be the son of the above George . this Obediah's children are
mentioned here as follows :
Catharine Jr. 18 acres
,
Bathsheba 22 acres ,
Benjamin 28 ,
Obediah 40 acres,
Margaret 19 acres ,
Augustine 19 acres ,
Noah32 acres ,
Theodosha
(granddaughter) 94 acres ,
Augustine Smith in
right of his wife Frances Anderson 40
acres ,
Joseph 58 acres ,
their was also an acre set aside for Sims sawmill that was on the property .

you this much until I learn how to send it by email.

Pat,
sorry it took so long
for me to answer but I have been so furstrated at trying to find one person for
a year now and haven't found nothing at all on her, Virginia A. Smith(b)1872
(d)1906, (m) William Henery Anderson (abt)1890 in around Madison Co.Virginia,
William was from around Standersvillie area his grandfather owned land in
Orange Co. and Green Co.and Madison Co.I have wills and Deeds showing this I
don't know if they lost the land or sold it, his father is Obadiah and his father
was Obadiah Sr.and his father was George Jr. and his father was George Sr.,
this gets me back to 1798, George Sr. was (m) to Ann ? George Jr. was (m) to
Mary Read Obadiah was (m) toCatherine Conrad daughter of Jeseph Conrad ,
Obadiah Jr.was married to Emiline E.booton daughter of Reuben Booton mother
Mary Dick they were married Feb.1792 in Rockingham or Greenbrier Co.-
minister's returns then Reuben (m) Married Mary Anderson Dec.21,1809 in Orange
Co.Va., this is a fast write up on this family, I have sisters and brothers,
but I just wanted to give you a few names, thinking maybe you might be able to
help me connect to, William and Virginia and as to where they were and who her
parents were they left that area around 1905 Virginia gave birth to a child named
Jane in 1905 and between that year and 1906 they were in W.V. and she had a set
of twins in April 22, 1906 my husbands mother was one of the twins that was
born to Virginia, virginia died six months later and was buried in the Anderson
family cem, I know this is long way to tell you all of this but I need help,
and don't know where to get it. Thanks for listening. sarah

Pat,
Thanks for the
information , sorry it took so long for me to thank you, be out searching again
at the courthouse where I live hopeing to find some answers . I am still
looking for death records in the Raleigh Co.Court House , W.V. for William H.
Anderson & his wife Virginia A. Smith Anderson .She died in 1906 and he
died in 1915 and neither are on record , or if they are I'm not finding it. I
have found their graves and gravestones with the dates but no records at courthouse.
I was told that the records were probably burned ,but, would it have taken in
all those years from 1906 - to 1915 ? It just doesn't make sense to me , have
checked three times , so its not likely that I would have missed it. The
undertakers that took care of the bodies are no longer in business , so I
checked with the Funeral Home that was suppose to have taken over to see if
they might have the records , there records only went back to 1929 . Wouldn't
they have to have kept those records ? Big question , what to do now?
Sarah
