Pat - Thanks for the
info. I am not a beginner, just a
beginner to the internet. I've been
tracking Andersons in VA for ca 25 years.
I know all the Samuels you mentioned except Samuel Read Anderson. What family does he belong to? Also, please correct your info. The Samuel Anderson b in 1747 in Augusta Co,
s of James, married Sarah Young and migrated to KY. He is NOT the Samuel who married Elizabeth, and who may be my
ancester. This is a commonly repeated
piece of misinformation. Thank you for
taking the time to reply. Linda
