The Anderson family below came from Virginia to Abbeville, SC, in May of 1790. We think that descendants of this family later migrated to Franklin, Madison and DeKalb Counties in Georgia. Later some of them moved to Benton/Calhoun County in Alabama. This family is documented on the Hodge mailing list. Go to that list and search for Anderson.

I am looking at your Walter Anderson info. There are a lot of people out there who have put together family groups for this man - but none

of them have much documentation, and I suspect them of simply downloading each other and perpetuating things until the things seem

like they must be true. I'm a little frustrated.

I come to this family with tons of documentation and family records - up to a point. I believe my ancestor to have been the son of Tabitha

Anderson, daughter of Walter, and I've found a mess of little documents that seem to indicate this kind of link. By the way, many of these

people moved to Greene county, Al - Pleasant Wright, Suzannah's husband, went there around 1820. The Chesley Davis family sons also

went there in droves - as did the Dorrohs and the Tallmans, and bunch of others. My main interest is in the Davis families aligned with this

branch of the Andersons.

It was lovely to find your stuff - with its lovely sources. So I'm going to ask you a question or two, if I might:

John Anderson is constantly said to have been married to a woman named Brown. One researcher called her Virginia Brown - but can I find the source of that info? Of course not - somebody wrote it down once, and everybody accepted it as truth - but not one bit of source work can I find on either the Brown or the Virginia.

The other question is Walter's Tabitha - the wife. It makes sense, but I can find no proof. The same researcher who filled in the Brown blank also filled this one, calling her Tabitha Long, which is logical - but not proved. On several bits of this genealogy, people also assert that Tabitha, the daughter, was actually Tabitha L. - and that she was married to Thomas Davis. Again, I see logic in this, and have several

documents that might suggest it, but I have seen no proof, and none of these people have sources.

Does any of this ring a bell for you? If so, please - relieve my brain cramp.

Thanks,

Kristen Randle

17 vi. Sarah Anderson, born Abt. 1757. She married ? Hodges.

18 vii. Lucy Anderson, born Abt. 1760. She married ? Pulliam.

19 viii. Frances Anderson, born Abt. 1762. She married John Hodges.

Notes for John Hodges:

"John Hodges married Margaret Long in 1786. They had two children, Lucy Wardlaw (b.1787) and Reuben B. (b.1790). After the death of Margaret, John married Frances Anderson in late 1790.

Frances came from Virginia to Abbeville in May 1790 with her family. Her father lived to be over 105 years old. At that age he could walk thirteen miles. Little was known about Frances until 1994. In a separate study, the research is described where it was learned that her parents were Walter Anderson and his wife Tabitha. Their children were Samuel Anderson; Richard L. Anderson; Walter Anderson, Jr.; Susannah Wright; our Frances Hodges; Tabitha Davis; Sarah Hodges; and Lucy Pulliam.

7. Cyprian⁵ Anderson (Walter⁴, John³, "Northern Neck"², "Colonial Virginia"¹) was born Abt. 1718 in King George County, Virginia, and died Bet. 1744 - 1745 in King George County, Virginia.

Patrick,

I'm attaching a very brief chart which shows some of the relationships involving Walter Anderson of King George Co. VA. I can give you quite a bit on the allied Smith line, but I believe that would be defeating your purpose. There is quite a bit available too on the Moffetts (which I don't have).

You will note that there was a John Anderson in King George. I believe it was his will which documents that his brother was Walter and that he (John) had a son Walter. This second Walter is the one who married Ann Thornton.

There was a third Walter. This was (I believe) the son of Cyprian and grandson of Walter. I believe it was this line of Andersons who you find in Fauquier in the mid-late 1700s. I haven't done much on them.

Regards...

[snip of info about Lawrence senior]

My interest is John Anderson (b. 1740 - d. 1819). He lived in Drysdale Parish, Caroline Co., VA. We have found him signing Colonial Church Petitions in 1770's and he is listed many times in COLONIAL CAROLINE - A History of Caroline County, Virginia by P.E. Campbell and the book, PEOPLE, POSTOFFICE AND COMMUNITIES IN CAROLINE COUNTY, VIRGINIA 1727-1769 by Rev. Ralph Emmett Falls.

I have very little information on John Anderson, Sr. as to his family, but I do know that this ties in to the information that was furnished on Oct. 22, 1946 by Sarah Ann Anderson Wright, known as Fannie, the oldest child of Samuel Chapman Anderson - the youngest child and son of Henry and Julia Ann T. Anderson. She states that the information below was some of the things that were told by her Grandmother Julia Ann T. Anderson and some things that she knew about her great great grandfather.

Her father's grandfather was named John Anderson. He was known to be the wealthiest man in Caroline Co., VA. he owned more negroes and more land than he could enumerate. His old home in Caroline Co., VA was known by us as Watt Anderson place, situated half way between Whites Mill and Sparta in Caroline. The old Anderson burial lot is still there where so many of our ancestors are buried.

"I will try to tell you something about the children of my great great grandfather John Anderson and as much about their families as I can. I being an old person myself not, but I have a very good memory. He had a son named John Jr. who had a good many children: his daughter Fannie, wife of Tom Samuel; John Edward and Easer Anderson. There were others. This is what I know of them.

Samuel Anderson emigrated to Texas with ten young boys. I heard they lost tract of them;

Judith Anderson, wife of Billie Jordan, parents of William Jordan, who had a son named Charley

Jordan and others;

Tom Anderson - I don't know him. I only knew there was one named Tom;

Walter Anderson, father of Watt Anderson. They always lived in the old Anderson home;

My Grandfather Henry Anderson married Julia Ann T. Adkins, half sister to William George Garnett

and Emoline Garnett Carter, mother of Luther Eugene Carter and others.

I will try to tell you something about my grandfather and grandmother.

Henry Anderson and Julia Ann T. Adkins were parents of the following children:

William, known as Uncle Billy Anderson, married Ailsie Pitts, parents of Burton Anderson and

grandfather of Herbert Anderson (Ruth Callown's husband and others);

Uncle Billy was wounded in the Civil War;

Mary Toliver Anderson, wife of George Goldman, parents of Pierce, Sweetie Kate and others;

John Anderson killed in the Civil War was not married;

Sarah Ann (Nannie) Anderson, wife of Elic Goldman - no children;

Catherine Kate Anderson, wife of Cornelius Minor - parents of John Goldman and William Henry

Minor;

Samuel Chapman Anderson married Bettie Jane Beasley, parents of ten children:

Sarah Ann, known as Nannie Anderson Wright. Oldest child killed in First World War about

1918;

Henry Owell Anderson married Jane Dishman - 4 children;

Leticia Jane Anderson Melton, wife of Charles Melton - one son, Herbert;

Samuel Smith Anderson married Baynie Andrews - Parents of 10 children;

Katy Bet Anderson died when she was 11 yrs. old;

Mary Ellen Anderson, wife of Russell Milton. Parents of 3 children;

Jennie Earnest Anderson married Ida Samuel - 7 children;

William John Andrson married Sarah Frances (Fannie) Samuels - 10 children;

Ruth Julia Anderson married William alvis - 1 son."

THE END

This might be confusing to some, but I hope it will help others with their genealogy. Should you have any information on the above, I would appreciate your contacting me:

Pat,

As you might be aware, most of the Courthouse records in Caroline Co., VA were destroyed by fire.

I have been able to tie some of the property records together, but not sure of the same names. Still working. You have my permission to fold this information into your website.

I did find a Lawrence page on website and would appreciate your sending me the current GEDCOM of Lawrence Anderson family. I thought the information I posted was interesting since it came from Joel Anderson, Sr.'s Bible. I have additional information on dates if you are interested, but I believe you might have most of it.

Thanks for the info, Patrick. And you can add Samuel W. Anderson (who died 1819 with a will probated in Albemarle Co. May 3, 1819) m. Jane Lyon. The Samuel W. Anderson, Jr. who married Susannah Beck was his son.

There are currently 4 of us with ties to this Anderson/Lyon connection who are comparing notes and histories and research. We "met" via the Anderson List @ rootsweb and through the Genforum at Family Tree Maker. One woman is making a run to the Nelson Co. Courthouse tomorrow.

I'll let you know if we find anything of interest!

Hello!

I *TRY* to stay away from the gen forum during the school year because I get sooooooo caught up in research that it distracts me from things I *should* be doing, but thanks to a researcher in CA (thanks, Steve!), I've added a couple of new documents to my website:

http://www.bigfoot.com/~artrageous

Latest entries include the will of Walter Anderson (son of Samuel W. Anderson) as well as a letter from 1811 from Samuel in VA to Walter in KY. I've also included a map that shows where I *think* "Rich Cove" is--this location is mentioned in numerous wills and deeds from central Virginia.

These and other documents are in the "Reports, Wills, Deeds, Obits, Photos & Resources" section.

My website is searchable (you'll see "The Art-Rageous Search Engine" on the main page) and there's a ton of information included on a whole lot of central Virginia families. The search engine is a good way to look for ancestors who might be *mentioned* in wills and deeds, but don't really warrant their own sections.

Pretty much all I know (about just about everything in the world--ha!) is on my website, so please take a look if you're researching VA Andersons.

Hello!

Don't know if you remember me--some time back I wrote trying to get info on Andersons in Central VA. With help from a guy named Pete (HFerre6760) I was just able to find our connection. Went to your website to piece it together.

If you want to update, this is in your "Descendents of Richard Anderson" section. Entry 177: John & Mary Thurmond Lyon.

Their daughter, Mary, was born Dec. 19, 1809. She had a child out of wedlock (my great-great grandfather, John William Anderson) on June 24, 1826. She married a Woodson B. Fox in August 1829. That's all I know about her, but if you like, I can furnish info about John William Anderson's descendants. Don't know how to do gedcom stuff, but I can e-mail if you're interested.

Thanks!

Notes for John William Anderson:

I, John W. Anderson of Nelson County, Va, being of sound mind and memory, do declare this to be my last will and testament in manner following:

Item 1st: I direct that all my just debts be paid, as soon as practicable, after my decease.

Item 2nd: I direct that all my personal property, of whatever description, be sold and the proceeds from such sale be equally divided and given to my six children.

Item 3rd: I direct that my executors collect as far as possible, all debts due me, and make an equal division of such funds thus received, and give the same to my six children.

Item 4th: In consideration of valuable services rendered me and my family for a long period of time, by my sister in laws Cynthia F. Rodes and Cornelia E. Rodes, I give and devise to them jointly all my real estate with the appertenances thereon, to be used for their comfort and maintenance during their lives. After their death I direct said real estate to be sold, and the proceeds to be equally divided and given to my six children.

Item 5th: I select and request that my son Willard O. Anderson to remain with his two aunts and keep the land, in good condition, and retain thereon whatever may be most advantageous to the support of the family. All over a support for his aunts, and after paying necessary expenses, I direct him to retain for his own use. I desire that my two grandsons and granddaughter remain in the family and if from any cause the said Willard O. Anderson should not comply with my request, I then select my grandson J.E. Anderson for the position on the same terms proposed to my son.

Item 6th: Should it be necessary at any time to employ someone outside the family to see to the interests of my sisters in law, I direct that my executors do, with their approval, what will be most advantageous to them and see that they are comfortable and well cared for in all respects.

Item 7th: I appoint my two sons James T. Anderson and Samuel M. Anderson executors of this my last will.
