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
