Descendants of John Anderson

 

 

Generation No. 1

 

        1.  John³ Anderson  (Northern Neck², Colonial Virginia¹) was born Abt. 1730 in look at Norfolk Va?, and died October 08, 1781 in Kershaw Co., Camden, South Carolina.  He married Sarah Carney November 28, 1752 in Stafford County, Virginia (Source: OverWharton Parish Register.), daughter of John Carney and Mary ?.  She was born Abt. 1732, and died 1807 in Livingston County, Kentucky.

 

Notes for John Anderson:

REV. JAMES ANDERSON NOT THE FATHER OF

JOHN ANDERSON WHO MARRIED SARAH CARNEY

 

        Probably twenty years ago, the assertion was made that the Rev. James Anderson was the father of our John Anderson.  As soon as it came to my attention, I started trying to track down the reason why this statement was made.  I didn't really doubt it, I just wondered how the connection was made.  What I learned was that it all seemed to hinge on the fact that someone had given January 13, 1724 as our John's birthdate.  Of course, that was when the Rev. James' son, John, was born. 

 

        My next step was to find out why this birthdate was assigned to our John.  I finally tracked it back to an elderly lady in Kentucky who, when I wrote to her, didn't have a clue where she had gotten the date or why she thought it was our John's. 

 

        Then, I assembled all the references I could find which had been offered as proof and tracked them back as far as I could and came up with the following sources:

 

Bible Record of Rev.  James Anderson - states only that he had a son, John, born January 13, 1724-5 in New York

Pennsylvania Genealogies by Wm.  Egle - only quotes the above Bible record

Immigrants to America Before 1750 by Virkus - quotes the above Bible records and adds that John "died young"

DAR Application of Mrs. Dena Henslee Singleton, Nat'l #526822 - I received a copy of this application which DAR had corrected to show that her ancestor John Anderson who married Sarah Carney was born January 13, 1724 in New York.  I wrote the Lineage Research Committee of NSDAR in Washington, D. C, regarding this entry, explaining the controversy over John's birthdate, etc.  On August 15, 1979, they sent a letter stating - "The birthdate written in on National No. 526822 Is completely incorrect.  That is the birthdate for John Anderson, son of Rev.  James Anderson, but this man is not your Revolutionary ancestor.  This man was married to Ann Irvin, From your records we know that your ancestor John Anderson was married to Sarah Carney. ...A date of circa 1730 has been given to your Revolutionary ancestor since we have no specific date for his birth."

 

The following, although it does not constitute proof,  must be considered as much of the information came from this John Anderson's own granddaughter:

 

Maxwell History and Genealogy by Florence Wilson Houston - 1916

 

        "The descendants of our John Anderson say he was the son of the Rev, James    Anderson of Donegal, Penn, and so far we have found nothing to disprove this,   while there is much that makes it conclusive, though it has been claimed by some       historians that he was the son of John or James Anderson of Augusta Countyp   Virginia."

 

                "In the will of James Anderson he mentions by name only his wife, a niece, his     daughter, Susanna, and the youngest son, Thomas, who was still a child and yet to      be educated....   After mentioning these he directs that his remaining property be         'divided among all my children'."

 

                "John, the seventh child of Rev.  James Anderson, was born January 13, 1724.  It         is recorded that he was born in New York, while his mother was visiting at the home of a relative,     His early years were spent in Pennsylvania, but when still a    youth he went to Virginia and the greater part of his active years were spent there."

 

                "By various records-especially the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography   and the Chalkley Records, his path is made clear, For the more minute and   intimate details, as to his family, we have the long line of descendants given from        the personal knowledge of his granddaughter Martha (Anderson) Baugh, near the       middle of the last century...." (here follows a brief history of the Old Stone Church       of Augusta Co., Va.)

 

                "Reverting to John Anderson: He married, about 1750, Anna Irvine (Erwin).  The following list of their descendants is from Court Records and from data given more    than fifty years ago, by their granddaughter Martha (Anderson) Baugh, a daughter of their son, William."....   (There is no question but that this is a completely different line from ours.)

 

        What it all come down to is that (unless there is some documentation that I don't know about) is there is NO proof that our John Anderson who married Sarah Carney is the son of the Rev. James Anderson and very substantial proof that the Rev. James' son, John, married Ann Irvine (Erwin).

 

        If you have anything that would contradict this, I would be very interested in hearing about it.

I've been doing some research lately on the John Chapman who is connected to Sarah Carney.  In your website under the descendants of

John Anderson and Sarah Carney you list the following:

" Charlotte Anderson, born Abt. 1763.  She married John Chapman (Source: Brøderbund WFT Vol. 1, Ed. 1, Tree #0371, Date of Import:  Jan 24, 1996)."

 

The original source, WFT #0371, actually names her "Jane Doe Anderson". Could you tell me where you obtained the name Charlotte?  I would apreciate any help you can give me.

 

Thanks,

Notes for Bailey Anderson:

Capt. Bailey Anderson, Jr. and his wife, Elizabeth (McFadden) Hardwick, are both most likely buried in a private plot on the farm they then owned, the location of which I am unaware, but in the general area of Gholson, Texas. His was an interesting career, including his efforts in the Militia as Commanding Officer at the Battle of Nacogdoches, the first military encounter of the Texas War of Independence. For his services to the Republic he was awarded a parcel of land in the Ayish Bayou near San Augustine, and on which his father, Bailey Anderson, Sr., is buried, at which site the State has erected a granite Memorial stone in his honor.

***The Revolutionary War Service of my ancestor John Anderson***

(Husband of Sarah, father of Scarlett, Joshua, and Bailey Anderson Sr)

  William Anderson b 28 Nov 1765 d 11 Feb 1845 was the son of John Anderson & Sarah [Carney]. In his own Bible he wrote that his father John Anderson was killed by American Tories at Augusta, 1780, and that his Mother Sarah was b 1739 and d 1811 Ky. G/f John was killed at the 1st Seige of Augusta, Sept 10-18, 1780.

   In a paper passed down in my line, it is written that G/f John and his son Bailey Anderson Sr (1754-1840) left for battle TOGETHER but his father John did not return. The Natl Archives Record S.30-286 being the records of Bailey Anderson Sr (1754-1840) detail his service under General Bridges and Capt Clark at the 1st Seige of Augusta, Ga.

   G/f John Anderson and his son Scarlett Anderson both received Bounty Land for their service in Georgia. I have the documents.

   I have done this many times over the past 8-10 years but NEVER have I been as meticulous as I was today - I just spent more than 9 hours carefully pouring over all of the pages in g/f John's SC Archives & History Rev War File (A.A.115). The pages I have are all in the original handwriting so I had to scrutinize each detail in the information given on each page and note it in such a way as to recognize anything that excludes whichever John Anderson can not possibly be g/f John Anderson.

   In Audited Account 115, ONLY file X3341 (Indent #3341, Book  X) pertains to g/f John.

   The rest of the pages in HIS file (A.A.115) appear to belong to a John Sr and a John Jr but both were living after 1780 plus I compared this John Jr to the signature of uncle John Anderson on g/m Sarah's reapplication for pension 11 Nov 1807 and no way are they the same man's signature. ALSO, one of these John's made arrangements for a William Anderson to receive his Indents as he had moved to NC - I compared this William's signature to William Anderson's, son of g/p John & Sarah, writing in his Bible and again, no way.

   If I had to guess, I think this John Anderson Sr was Capt John Anderson who died in the hospital at Camden, NC (yes, NC!).

   Anyway, according to g/f John Anderson's file A.A.115 X3341 he served only in Col. Benjamin Roebuck's Regiment before and after the fall of Charleston, the same is true for Uncle Scarlett Anderson file A.A.124 X3343, and Uncle Joshua Anderson file A.A.117 X3342.

   Now..how do I KNOW for SURE that g/f John Anderson's Rev War service file is X3341...??? Because attached to it is g/m Sarah [Carney] Anderson's first <BR> petition (20 May 1786) requesting payment of the Indent as the widow of John Anderson and the mother of Scarlett and Joshua Anderson. The Indent it is attached to is dated 7 Jun 1786.

   Audited Account 114: I find it most curious that Indents for g/f John, uncle Scarlett, and uncle Joshua actually show that when written they were ALL "AUDITED ACCOUNT #114" - not A.A.115, 117, 124 !!!!  I think what happened was our earlier cousins identified the Capt John Anderson, John Anderson Jr, and John Anderson Sr as grandpa and his son so the files were put together as one family, i.e., g/f John, uncle John Jr, uncle Scarlett, uncle Joshua. When in fact, Capt John, John Sr, John Jr were completely different persons.
