Descendants of William Anderson

 

 

Generation No. 1

 

        1.  Captain William6 Anderson  (Robert5, Richard4, Richard3, York Watershed2, Colonial Virginia1) (Source: (1) C. G. Chamberlayne, The Vestry Book of St. Paul's Parish, Hanover  County, Virginia 1706-1786,  (Clearfield Company, Inc.; Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., Baltimore, Maryland 1999)., (2) Library of Virginia, Virginia Land Office Patents and Grants,  (http://198.17.62.51/collections/LO.html), "Electronic.", (3) Virginia State Library, Virginia Land Office Patents and Grants,  (http://198.17.62.51/collections/LO.html), "Electronic.", (4) etal, "The Richmond Virginia Standard," May 28, 1881.) was born Abt. 1680 in New Kent County, Virginia, and died 1717 in King William County, Virginia.  He married Dorothy Dabney Abt. 1699 in New Kent County, Virginia, daughter of Cornelius Dabney and Susannah Swann.  She was born Abt. 1683 in Gloucester County, Virginia, and died Aft. 1720 in King William County, Virginia.

 

Notes for Captain William Anderson:

William Anderson & Dorothy his wife

04/25/1701               179.5 acres         King & Queen Co.

Patents 9/350

     In Pamunkey Neck, St. John's Parish, on Pounce's Swamp, adj. Sarah Dabney

 

1704 Quit Rent

Anderson, William Cpt    King William County      150 acres

 

        In 1708/09 lands of Capt. William Anderson were adjacent Robert Anderson, jr. and then transferred to Matthew Anderson relationship unconfirmed, apparently son of Robert Anderson, Sr.  This suggests that neighbors William and Matthew were brothers and descendents of Robert who had patented land along the Pamunkey River in the 1670's.  William lived just across the Pamunky River from his brothers and is mentioned in the St. Paul's Parish precessioning records as adjacent them.  I had for some time thought he might be a son of the William along the Rappahanock Road in King and Queen County but I now believe he is another son of Robert.

 

St. Paul's Parish Procession Reports for 1708

William Anderson, Wm Pulliam, Thomas Anderson, Matthew Anderson, David Anderson, John Anderson, George Alves.   Capt Robert Anderson & David Anderson - who returned that John Anderson, Matthew Anderson, Thomas Anderson, & George Alves met and William Anderson wanting having disposed of part of his land there to Matthew Anderson, William Pulliam wanting he having no land adjoining our precinct.

Note:

Dorothy Dabney bc 1685 was not married in 1699

 

In 1699 these four children "James Dabney, Geo. Dabney, Dorothy Dabney, and Sarah Dabney, recorded as devisees of Cornelius Dabney dec'd & due 700 acres to which is added of Low Land thereto adjoining 150 acres" in Pamunkey Neck. (Louis des Cognets, Jr., English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records, p. 59).

 

Dorothy married William Anderson aft 1699 but before 25 Apr 1701 -...give and grant unto WM. ANDERSON & DOROTHY his wife 179 1/2 acres of land lying and being in St. John's Parish in Pamunkey neck in King & Queen County bounded as followeth Beginning at a red Oake on Pounces Swamp and running east 21 degrees south 211 poles & 1/2 to a hiccory then south...land adj her sister Sarah's land and brother James Dabney's land Grant.

 

The following proves that Dorothy(Dabney)Anderson was in 1732 - Dorothy Trice:

17 May 1732  William WINSTON  to Cornelius DABNEY of King William Co., VA, Gentleman, for 5 shillings sells land in the  Pamunkey Neck, King William Co., it being a tract granted to Sarah DABNEY by patent bearing date 25 Apr 1701 and by the said Wm. WINSTON as son and heir to the said Sarah DABNEY, bounded by the south side of Poncey Swamp, Cornelius Dabney's land, Wormley's land, Dorothy Trice's land, and the water course of Poncey Swamp, paying yearly rent for one year. Wits. John Crowshaw, Richard Gregory, Jas. or Jos. Berkley, Jr. Acknowledged 18 May 1732, King William Co., VA.

 

Note: the above William Winston was William "Essex" Winston (1704-1781) son of William Winston II and Sarah Dabney..This Cornelius was the son of James Dabney and Ann Sherwood.

 

Dorothy Dabney Anderson/Trice was named as a daughter of the 2nd wife of Cornelius Dabney, Susanna (m 2nd Anderson) in her will dated 16th. day of March 1722.

 

Hanover County, Will Book 1, Court December 22, 1868 recorded by William Winston Dabney (after the destruction of Hanover Records during the Civil war)

 

Since Cornelius Dabney was still married to his first wife Edeith in 1678 from a letter dated: 29 Jun 1678   -  Cornelius Dabney to Colonel Moryson. [Virginia Colonial Records - VSL [from the public records office in London]

Survey Report No. 742, pg. 5,  00663]

 

Any children born to Susanna would be sometime after this 1678 date.  Dorothy was born probably 1685 - making her about 16 when she married.  Her sister Mary was born 22 Jan 1688 (from the Carr Bible)

 

Her son Dabney Anderson died in Caroline Co., Va. in 1732, James Trice his administrator (Caroline Co., Va. Order Book)

 

       

Children of William Anderson and Dorothy Dabney are:

        2                 i.    Elizabeth7 Anderson, born Abt. 1700 in New Kent County, Virginia.

        3                ii.    Susannah Anderson, born Abt. 1702 in New Kent County, Virginia.

+      4               iii.    Dabney Anderson, born Bet. 1704 - 1710 in New Kent County, Virginia; died 1735 in King William County, Virginia.

+      5               iv.    Sarah Anderson, born Abt. 1706 in New Kent County, Virginia.

+      6                v.    Ann Anderson, born Abt. 1708 in New Kent County, Virginia.

        7               vi.    Mary Anderson, born Bet. 1708 - 1714 in New Kent County, Virginia.  She married Richard Cottrell.

        8              vii.    Judith Anderson, born Bet. 1710 - 1714 in New Kent County, Virginia.  She married Goodwin Trice; born Abt. 1700 in New Kent County, Virginia.

 

Notes for Judith Anderson:

There are other documents of interest to the Anderson family in this case, i.e. 1735 appraisal of Dabney Anderson's estate; and receipt dated 25 Feb 1736 "recieved of James Trice" Negroe man George as legacy from Dabney Anderson to Godney Trice and wife Judy Trice and to Jno Asburn and Sarah Ashburn one Negroe woman Phillis and her increase "legacy given us by our brother Dabney Anderson."

In Reply to: Re: Wm Anderson's 1717 will by Patrick Anderson  of 15146 

 

 

Hi Patrick:

Thanks for your info. I was curious to know if the will existed since several had said William's will was "proven" in 1717. I'll check the "The Richmond Virginia Standard" issue you suggest and William Pope Anderson's book/notes.

 

I neglected to say where I found William Anderson's 1719 inventory, it was in Louisa County, VA Chancery Case papers at the Library of Virginia. Several cases between the Trices and Charles Crenshaw beginning in about 1789, include many depositions and some documents on William Anderson, Dorothy Anderson and second husband James Trice, sons William Anderson and Dabney Anderson, as well as Dabney's sisters: Judith Trice and husband Godney/Godwin and Sarah Ashburn and husband John Ashburn. Possibly a daughter, Mary, married John Trice then Henry Edwards. The cases are dated 1801 and 1804 (ending dates of the cases) but some documents in them are dated 1719, 1720, 1735, 1736 and 1769. The documents mention several counties: Hanover, Caroline, Albemarle, and King William.

 

Thanks again for your help.

Notes for William Anderson:

Dorothy makes deed of gift to her infant son William

Dorothy Anderson had a son, William Anderson, according to an attested copy of a 15 Feb 1720 King William Co., VA Deed of Gift. Dorothy Anderson, widow of Wm Anderson dec'd of St. John's Parish, gave her son William Anderson 2 young Negroes, Shion and Betty and her increase, as long as he was a minor and only if he outlived her. William died without issue "in the lifetime of his mother she married Mr. Trice and lived several years afterward," attested Jno Wickham, Richmond 16th Oct 1802. This deed of gift is found in Louisa Co., VA Chancery Case "Charles Crenshaw vs William Trice" 1804-011 at the Library of Virginia.

Dear Mr. Anderson,

 

I am trying to find the parents and grandparents of Ruth Anderson, who married Daniel Booth.  I have found her father listed as Dabney Anderson, mother unknown, but just cannot find his parents.

 

I know from a Trice Family book that Dorothy Dabney married William Anderson and then married a James Trice  about 1718.

 

I also found that Ruth Anderson Booth married another James Trice about 1750 and he reared her and Daniel's 9 children. They also had a son, Joseph Trice.

 

Do you possibly have a connection with Dorothy Dabney Anderson Trice and Ruth Anderson Booth Trice?

 

This is my husbands line, Booth on his fathers side and Trice on his mothers side.

 

He is trying to get a supplemental on his 7th great grandfather, John W. Booth Sr, for the Sons of the American Revolution.

 

Thank you so much for your help.

Found in a Louisa County, VA Chancery Court 1804-011 case (William Trice vs Charles Crenshaw) is a receipt signed by Jno ASHBURN and Sarah ASHBURN (her mark) from James Trice, Executor of Dabney ANDERSON's estate which says "Then Received of James Trice our full part of Dabney Andersons Estate namely one Negro woman named Phillis and her Increase valued at Thurty pound being a Legacy Given us by our Brother Dabney Anderson Deceased being fully Satisfied and this shall be his discharge for the same  Given under our hands and Seals february th 25 1736."

________________________________

The William ANDERSON and Dorothy DABNEY you cite certainly seem to be the couple of the same names cited by Rubyann, and that they had among their issue sons named William and Dabney and a daughter named Sarah seems beyond dispute. It also seems certain that William ANDERSON's widow Dorothy DABNEY married James TRICE, that James TRICE became the administrator of the estate of his step-son Dabney ANDERSON, and that among the legatees of Dabney's estate were his sister Sarah ANDERSON and her husband John ASHBURN.

The last proven progenitor of my ASHBURN line is Dabney Anderson ASHBURN, b abt 1755 VA or NC, d aft 1801 TN. If our Dabney Anderson ASHBURN is descended from the John ASHBURN and Sarah ANDERSON cited above, there is likely to have been at least one ASHBURN male generation between John and Sarah and our Dabney Anderson, as the Sarah who was the sister of the Dabney ANDERSON daughter of William ANDERSON and Dorothy DABNEY is reported to have been b (deleted error), or about 80 years before our Dabney Anderson ASHBURN. The given name Anderson recurs often through the generations descending from Dabney Anderson ASHBURN.

Can you shed any light on exactly how, if at all, our ASHBURNs are connected to your ANDERSONs and DABNEYs?

Thereafter all references are to John Ashburn, Junior, until his death in 1770, by then he had a wife Mary.   He had a lot of dealings (debts) with Garland Anderson of Hanover.

 

 

 

 

        6.  Ann7 Anderson (William6, Robert5, Richard4, Richard3, York Watershed2, Colonial Virginia1) was born Abt. 1708 in New Kent County, Virginia.  She married Stephen Martin Abt. 1728. 

 

Notes for Ann Anderson:

        I am guessing that since all the other Anderson's (the children of Robert, were in St. Paul's Parish], then WIlliam's children were likely in St. Peter's Parish
