Patrick,

my name is Vincent Lyle Anderson. I just found your Everett Anderson Memorial Collection of Colonial Virginia Anderson Families web page and I think you have done superb research into the Colonial Anderson families.

 

My Anderson family tradition states we are direct descendants of a Richard Anderson who came from Dumfries, Scotland, in 1639 and settled in Dumfries, Virginia. [I can find no such person in "The Complete Book of Emigrants, 1607-1775" for the year 1639] --

 

My research has taken me as far back as to a James Anderson b. abt. 1740, d. 1806 in Prince William County, Virginia. He was married to Mary (?) who died in 1826 in Prince William County. -- I have a photocopy of James will and assets. -- James and Mary had eight children, Thomas; Ann; Mary b. 10/12/1778; John; James b. 10/29/1781; David; Vincent b. 3/5/1784. -- I am the 3rd Great Grandchild of James & Mary Anderson. -- I have used professional genealogists but they have been unsuccessful in determining the parents of James & Mary. -- Can you offer any suggestions or help?

 

My direct ancestor is their son Vincent Anderson who married Mary Maddox August 25, 1806 and they moved to Miami County, Ohio  about 1812. Vincent died August 26, 1865 in Miami County, Ohio.

Thank you,

Vincent L. Anderson
