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.

Subj: Re: G/f John's Rev War Service
Date: 1/21/00 9:07:34 PM Eastern Standard Time
From: [email protected] (Kathye Upham)
***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.
