Notes for Matthew
Anderson:
The birth date of Matthew has been
corrected to reflect the fact that he does not appear in the 1704 rent roll and
may differ from the one given by William Pope Anderson in Anderson - Overton, A
Continuation of Anderson Family Records (1936) & Early Descendants of
William Overton & Elizabeth Waters of Virginia & Allied Families, by
William Pope Anderson, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1945.
Matthew's existence is derived from a study of early precessioning
records of St. Paul's Parish which associate him with Robert Anderson I.
He clearly married a Cecilia whose
surname is unproven but appears to have been Massie. This is determined from the precessioning records. Follow-up researchers should be cautious
that the occurence of Cecilia's name in the early parish records may have
caused early researchers to both create a Cecilia as a sister and to give his
father Robert a wife by the name of Cecilia.
Alternatively there may be some relation between Matthew's wife Cecilia
and his father's wife, neither of whom's surname is firmly established. However from records that I have seen it is
only clear that this one widow named Cecilia existed.
In 1708/09 Matthew acquired the lands of
Capt. William Anderson. This suggests that Matthew was born before 1687. Capt.
William is believed to be a younger brother of the family and likely left
Virginia in 1708/09. Matthew is last
listed in Hanover land records in 1715/16 after which his widow Cecilia is
listed in 1719 as land owner until 1743. Matthew therefore died between 1715
and 1719. More likely close to 1719 as in 1719 Gilbert Gibson was given a
patent adjacent to Matthew and Thomas Anderson in New Kent County.
Matthew appears to have died young and
likely only had a few children. There was a tendency to claim all the Andersons
in the Hanover tax lists as belonging to Robert Anderson, Jr., a tradition
started by Edward L. Anderson early in the 20th century.
Matthew died before his sons were of age
and as a result we have no official record of their names. I have seen no will for him.
In 1735 James Anderson
precesions for Cecelia's land and is therefore likely a son born before 1714.
Edward L. Anderson listed this James as a son of Matthew's brother Robert.
Because of Matthew's early date of death it seems more likely James was a son
under age at his father's death. I have seen someone's penciled note in the Va.
Sate Library implying that Bartelot Anderson was the son of Matthew. It is
known by record that Bartelot had a brother Charles from land patents and and
from a surviving 1747 letter.
The Bartelot/Matthew
Association comes from
Goochland County Wills
& Deeds 1736-1742, page 415
12/04/1740 Valentine
Bostick of Hanover Co to John Woodson of Goochland Co
for 40 pounds 400a in
St. James Parish, on north side of Appomattox River, granted by patent to John
Bostick, dec'd 8 Sept. 1736 and by said said John sold to Valentine Bostick;
bounded by William Bostick late of Goochland Co., John Cahfin, Edmund Hodges,
Willaim Arnold; with all houses. WIt: Nowel Burton, Matthew Anderson, Bartelot
Anderson
If Bartelot was a son of Matthew then it
is sure that Matthew also had a son Charles.
Matthew the elder had died by 1719 and the Matthew of the above record
would have to be a Matthew, Jr. In 1755
Bartelot acts as the executor for Matthew Anderson, Jr.

Notes for Cecilia

in the precessioning records of St. Paul's parish.

Chiswell
Cicilia's association with the Massie
family suggests that she was the Cecilia Massie of tradition in the Anderson
family. Unfortunately previous
researchers have variously claimed her to be a daughter of Robert, 1st, 2nd
and/or his wife. I have only been able
to find evidence that his one Cecilia, widow, was a member of the family.
Children of Matthew
Anderson and Cecilia Massie are:
+ 2 i. Matthew7 Anderson, born Abt. 1708
in New Kent County, Virginia; died Bef. 1752 in Hanover County, Virginia.
+ 3 ii. Bartelot Anderson, born Abt. 1710 in New
Kent County, Virginia; died 1761 in Hanover County, Virginia.
+ 4 iii. Colonel Charles Anderson, born Abt. 1713 in
New Kent County, Virginia; died Aft. 1760 in Prince Edward County, Virginia.
5 iv. James Anderson (Source: William Pope
Anderson, Anderson - Overton, A Continuation of Anderson Family Records

(Cincinnati, Ohio; 1945.).), born Abt. 1714 in New Kent County,
Virginia; died Bet. 1763 - 1764.
Notes for James
Anderson:
There is supposition that James Anderson of early Hanover was
a son of Matthew Anderson because he supercedes his parents in the Hanover
precessioning records of St. Paul's Parish. James
Anderson is mentioned as replacing Cecelia Anderson in 1735 and Thomas Anderson
in 1741 as a precessioner of lands in St. Pauls's parish vestry book.

By 1764 James has sold his father's land to
Ralph Crutchfield. He either dies or
merges into the sea of James Andersons of Virginia. If you are looking for him I might check out the New RIver area
where his mother got the patent in 1721 since it was probably intended for her
sons.

Notes for Bartelot
Anderson:
1734 Mary Dowell appts as her attorney
Bartlet Anderson to acknowledge to Samuel Dalton her dower right to 400a sold
by husband John Dowell. St. Paul Parish Vestry book
Edward L. Anderson early in the 20th
century placed Bartelot Anderson as the son of Robert Anderson, Jr. In the
1980's I had seen someone's penciled note in the Va. Sate Library implying that
Bartelot was the son of Matthew (Robert's brother). It is known by record that
Bartelot had a brother Charles from land patents and records in Prince Edward
County and from a surviving 1747 letter.
If this is the case then Charles Anderson the brother of Robert
Anderson, III and Charles Anderson the brother of Bartelot need to be one and
the same person. However an examination
of Robert's brother Charles who lived on 335 acres near Totopotomys Creek in
Hanover County and Charles Anderson who patented lands in Prince Edward County
with Bartelot indicate that they are unlikely to be the same individual. Therefore I have concluded in 2003 that Bartelot
is likely the son of Matthew Anderson as claimed by the unknown scribler.
My research shows that
the Bartelot/Matthew Association comes from:
Goochland County Wills
& Deeds 1736-1742, page 415
12/04/1740 Valentine
Bostick of Hanover Co to John Woodson of Goochland Co
for 40 pounds 400a in
St. James Parish, on north side of Appomattox River, granted by patent to John
Bostick, dec'd 8 Sept. 1736 and by said said John sold to Valentine Bostick;
bounded by William Bostick late of Goochland Co., John Cahfin, Edmund Hodges,
Willaim Arnold; with all houses. WIt: Nowel Burton, Matthew Anderson, Bartelot
Anderson
The earlier generation Matthew was dead
before 1719. Matthew of this record was likely his son as he appears in the
same precinct in St. Paul's Parish as his mother Cecilia. Bartelot witnesses
the 1733 deeds from Mary Anderson nee Overton to her son John Anderson and
Charles Anderson. Because he appears on
many documents of the cousins I cannot yet confirm that Bartelot is a son of
Matthew, but as he acts as the executor for Matthew Anderson, Jr. it seems
likely. Bartelot Anderson was an early
Virginia Lawyer. See his many advertisements regarding the settlement of
estates in the "Virginia Gazette and General Advertiser" (the
Williamsburg colonial newspaper).

Think he is a grandson
of Bartlotte Anderson "the old Lawyer of
Hanover".
The next generation of

married Frances
Dickenson & died in Louisa Co., Va. (different man &

Hi Pat,
Several weeks ago we
were discussing the children of Bartlett Anderson and Mary Cosby and you
questioned where I got information regarding their having a daughter named
Frances (who married John Smith). I
think I have found the source - 'though it came to me second hand. It was in the book by W. P. Anderson
published in 1938 - perhaps you are familiar with it. "Early Descendants of William Overton and Elizabeth Waters
and Allied Families". Are you
familiar with it?
Let me know what you
think.
Wish I could find the
connection between my husband's Bartlett Anderson and my Pouncey.

4. Colonel Charles7 Anderson (Matthew6,
Robert5, Richard4, Richard3, York Watershed2,
Colonial Virginia1) (Source: William Pope Anderson, Anderson
Family Records, (W. F. Schaeffer
& Co., Cincinnati, Ohio; 1936).) was born Abt. 1713 in New Kent County,
Virginia, and died Aft. 1760 in Prince Edward County, Virginia. He married Elizabeth ? Bef.
1757. She was born Abt. 1715, and died
in Prince Edward County, Virginia.
Notes for Colonel
Charles Anderson:
Both Charles Anderson and his brother Bartelot Anderson patent
lands adjacent each other in the area now Prince Edward County. It is likely that this Charles Anderson is
the one who served in the House of Burgesses from Prince Edward County,
Virginia and was prominent in the founding of the County. Charles Anderson patented lands in western
Amelia County, Virignia now Prince Edward County in 1747 and 1751. Likely he used the land as a speculator
selling it off for profit and also granted some of it to sons of his. He apparently retained his land in Hanover
County while moving to Prince Edward and may have had additional children than
those listed. He survived until after
1779 and his will may yet be found.

Hello - I just found
your response to a reques I posted to GenForum
I just purchased a
book "Genealogical Abstracts from 18th Century Virginia Newspapers"
by Robert K. Headley, Jr (GPC) - and the notice as below was listed:
This notice appeared
in 14 Feb 1755 later issues thru 27 Jun 1755 in the Virginia Gazette: Matthew
Anderson (probably of Hanover) dec'd,
the case of Rich.
Dobson & Frances his wife against William Taylor, Gent. -General court
Mentions: Matthew
Anderson, John Goodwin & Mary his wife, John & Lucy Anderson infants, John Scott, Bartlett
Anderson & John Anderson exors of Matthew Anderson. (this book has dozens
of colonial Anderson records)
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
HOW ALL THOSE FOLKS IN THE ABOVE REFERENCE RELATETO EACH OTHER OR ANY OTHER
RECORDS???
For years and years I
have been trying to "unlock" the ancestry of thefamily as found in
the 1747 family bible of John Goodwin Jr, lists these deaths:
Frances Dobson d 15
Nov 1768
John Anderson d 2 Dec
1760
Mary Horsley d 10 May
1773 ( I don't know who she is)
John Goodwin d 22 Mar
1759
John Goodwin d 28 Oct
1762
Then the bible passed
to Frances Goodwin (daughter of John Jr)bc 1748 m John Meaux or Meux
The John Goodwin who
died 22 Mar 1759 - he died in York Co., Va. testate (have a photocopy of his
will) owned extensive property in York, King William Hanover. He was twice
married (first wife UNKNOWN) by this first wife had a son John Jr who had two
daughters Frances Mary mentioned in his 1759 will. I hadn't the foggiest notion
of who was the wife of John Jr - I am still not sure the last John Goodwin who
died 28 Oct 1762 is JohnJr or perhaps an unknown son. So WHEN I saw the above
notice I think I have hit paydirt- notice a Frances Dobson, a John Goodwin wife
Mary with Andersons all in one record.
I have no idea from
that notice just how these folks fit together.
My ancestors Frances
Goodwin & John Meaux - these lines already interlock all over the place
with Dabney (I am a descendant of Sarah Dabney md William Winston - she is a
sister of Dorothy who m William Anderson -[NOTE: the original land grant was
made to Dorothy Dabney & when it was recorded she was "now the wife of
William Anderson" - so we know within a year when Dorothy Dabney m William
Anderson] Frances Goodwin & John Meaux had a daughter Anne Meaux who m
Richard Littlepage, son of Col. James Littlepage & Sarah Winston - this is
my line and how I connect back to William Winston & Sarah Dabney...all
lived in Hanover.
Many of us who are
researching the DABNEY family feel and know thereare many errors in this
family. More than a 100 years ago agreat scam or flim-flam - claiming a great
fortune was theirs and folks all over VA. "altered or simply made up"
Dabney records (including court records) to prove they were members of the
family so they could claim this vast (fake) fortune.

Children of Mary
Anderson and John Goodwin are:
16 i. Frances9 Goodwin.
17 ii. Mary Goodwin.
11. Garland8 Anderson (Bartelot7,
Matthew6, Robert5, Richard4, Richard3,
York Watershed2, Colonial Virginia1) was born Abt. 1742
in Hanover County, Virginia, and died March 08, 1811 in Hanover County,
Virginia. He married Marcia Burbidge
in Hanover Co, VA. She was born in
Norfolk, Isle of Wight, VA, and died in Hanover County, Virginia.
