Greetings Patander,
Wow!, what a great
suprise for a novice in the computer world. Thank you!.The Anderson branch that
I'm searching has ties to your William born 1693 Scotland through marrige to a
different Anderson Line according to several sources who claim that Williams
son Capt. Thomas wed to miss Bruce had a son named Thomas who remained in
Hampshire and Frederick Co.s Va. He wed 1st Sarah Anderson, daughter of Elijah
Anderson of Culpeper, Fauquier, and Rappahannock Co. Va. They were wed in
FredericCo. Va. Nov 22 1799. Elijah is of the branch from New Jersey, but I'm not
sure who his father is. This branch passed family names from generation to
generation , so there are many Cornelius's, Abraham's, Joseph's, John's,
Theophillus's, Andrew's, Isaac's etc. In my line the name Cornelius is most
prevalent. Elijah's family spread from Va. to Ky. to Ohio and Illinois and
Kansas plus a few other states. Ive been gathering info. mainly in the first 3
states.
Elijah Anderson was in
the Culpeper Co. Va. tax roles from 1788 to 1829. In the 1800 list, his sons
Joseph & John are listed as well as his son in law Thomas Anderson, as
mentioned above. In 1801 another son Cornelius is shown. In 1804 Elijah wed a
2nd or 3rd time to Mary Priet in Culpeper Co. Va. He is on the 1810 census
microfilm, but I did't find him listed in the index. He was censused between his sons John and Cornelius who owned
property with his wife Elizabeth adjoining his fathers. In the 1820 census, his
son Joseph has moved to Flemming Co. Ky. where he was censused. Several family
members had previously moved to Garrard Co. Ky. whitch may be the reason Joseph
located there. In 1819 Cornelius and Elizabeth sold their property in Culpeper
as did their son Ezekial and his wife Margaret and moved to Kentucky.
eventually settling in Bath Co. In the 1820 Culpeper Co. Va. Census, Elijah's
son John is still near him and another son Payton is now in the census near his
father. This family moved between the counties of Fauqier and the part that
became Rappahannock Co. as well as Hampshire Co. W. Va. and I suspect had a
connection to Louden Co. as well.
At about the same time, 1820, we find some of
Elijah's children in Muskingum Co. Ohio. Following is a list of Elijah's
family.
Elijah Anderson--born
ca. 1745/1755 ?, died 1838, probably Rappahannock Co. Va. asthat was where I
located his will. He had most of his children by unknown ist or 2nd wives.
There is a rumor one of his wives may have been named Frances?, Or according to
info. from a different searcher, Miss Williams, then possibly Frances Williams?
anyway his third wife was Mary Priest.who he wed in 1804. His children are as
follows.
1. Ann--nothing else
is known as yet. 2. Charity who wed Elias Hicks 3/14/1817 in Frederick Co. Va.
3. Cornelius b. 1765.1775 wed to Elizabeth, moved to Bath Co. Ky. and possibly
on to Muskingum Co. Ohio where a Cornelius was found in1828 in the personal
property tax lists. He didn't appear to own property at that time. 4. Frances
wed to John Barton, 5. Henry, nothing known at present. He may have been out on
his own for some time? 6.Sarah born 2/17/1779
died 8/18/1815 Hampshire Co. W.Va. wed to Thomas Anderson 11/22/1799 in
Frederick Co. Va. 7. Joseph b 1765.1784 wed 1st.Elizabeth Smoote 9/24/1803
Fauquier Co. Va. and 2nd. Abagail McKee in Flemming Co. Ky.ca. 1833 8. John wed
Sally Porter april 1807,9. Mary/Polly b. 1775.1785 wed James Priest, she was
dead before 1843 and James and children are living in Ohio. 10. Rebecca Jane b.
1775.1785 wed Eliakim Anderson, another
family name frequently found. Dec. 1799 in Frederick Co. Va. 11. Susan
b. 1775.1794
wed William Corbin
Feb.1807, He and his children were living in Muskingum Co. Ohio by 1843 and
Susan had died, Dont have the date as yet. 12. Peyton/Payton b. ca. 1779 died
8/14/1854 Rappahannock Co. Va. wed 1st Polly Jeffries, 2nd Sally Jones 13.
Catherine Young b. 1790.1800 Culpeper Co. Va. died 6/16/1845 Ohio wed George
Spangler 8/17/1820 Muskingum Co. Ohio 14. Alexander "Elzea" b. ca.
1797 Culpeper Co. Va. died 8/29/1889 Henry Co. Iowa wed Nancy Hitt 5/11/1826
Fauquier Co. Va.
15. Mason born
2/8/1803 Culpeper Co. Va. died 4/25/1875 Clarke or Rappahannock Co. Va. wed
Jane Bayliss 11/27/1825 Frederick Co. Va. 16. Ruth b. ca. 1810 Culpeper Co. Va.
wed bef. 1843 Henry Settle when she was mentioned as a widow.16. Franklin b.
ca. 1810/1820 Culpeper Co. Va. wed Mary Polly Norton 11/19/1833 in Muskingum
Co. Ohio. I have a little more info on the children of some of these, and would
really like to hear from anyone searching this same line. Also wanted to tell
you that Coral is a nickname for Cornelius also, as I've run into it
interchanged in my searching out Cornelius's.
Thank you again for your gift of the information you sent me. It will
take me a while to digest it all, but am most happy to have recieved it.
Sincerely
Pete

Hi!
I saw your message on
the ANDERSON GenForum re: Elijah and descendants. I have been working on this
line for a while, thanks to you. I
originally found my
connection via your Colonial VA site, at a time when I had nearly given up hope
of finding my Frances ANDERSON, who married John BARTON. But there she was. Following that, I came into contact with Jim Baker of Laurel MD,
and we have been working this line pretty seriously for a month or two. (Although I am new to my ANDERSON line, I
have almost 30 years of genealogical experience.)
Anyway, I want you to
know we are here and working on the line of Elijah. Attached is a document I generated recently to summarize some
work to date. I am sure that Jim Baker
has some additional data.
