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.

 

1745 George Anderson proved a deed from Nathan Underwood to Christian Clement. Augusta Co VA order lpl

 

1746 George Anderson was constable on South River of the Shenandoah. Augusta order, one page before the entry of 13 May 1746

 

1749/50 Feb. George Anderson d1778 (mark 'A') sold 330 acres on the south branch of the Shenandoah. Augusta deed 2p514-515

 

1753 George Anderson d1778 sold 100 acres to George Thompson and sold 100 acres to Nathan Underwood. These tracts were part of his 173B/6 patent of 3B0 acres on Elk Run in present Madison Co Va. Culpeper Co VA deeds Bp55,57,59

 

1756 George Anderson d1778 "of Orange County" (i.e. probably present Greene) sold to John Powell 150 acres (the remainder of his grant on Elk Run).Culpeper Bp480

 

1760 George Anderson d1778"of Bedford County" bought about 200 acres, Bedford lp393

 

1768 George Anderson d1778 sold the same tract to Moses Dooley, probably his grandson. Bedford Co VA deed 3p189

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 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 ,

Noah 32 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 .

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

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
