Descendants of John Anderson

 

 

Generation No. 1

 

        1.  John3 Anderson  ("Southwest"2, "Colonial Virginia"1) was born Abt. 1720.  He married Mary ?. 

 

Notes for John Anderson:

There appears to be 4 separate accounts (speculations) making the rounds on the Internet. Each story indicates that this 'Anderson' line traveled the 'Old Wagon Trail' before the 1770s.

 

Origin Version 1 (Pat Anderson):

Jacob is not a common name among the other Scottish and English Andersons of Virginia but it was in common use among the NJ Anderson family that originated in New Amsterdam on Long Island (before 1700) as a 'Dutch' Andriesen family.

 

Origin Version 2 (From a 1930s genealogy book commisioned by a Cleveland, OH Anderson family- title unknown):

John & Jacob were descendants of a Scot named John Anderson who arrived in Jamestown as an indentured servant.

 

Origin Version 3 (The generally accepted story):

The two brothers, of Swedish descent, started their westward journey from 'the Delaware River Valley' region of New Jersey. Note: The first reference (in print) to Jacob being from NJ is found in an article by Paula Anderson-Green [The New River Frontier Settlement On The Virginia-North Carolina Border 1760-1820, Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, V86: pgs. 413-431 (1978)]. She states that Jacob indicated in the 1820 census that he was from NJ, however, after reviewing Jacob's entry on the 1820 census microfilm, I can state that no such indication exists.

 

Origin Version 4: [Appeared on Yahoo Group: NCNR]

Many claim that these Andersons were originally from New Jersey. I have also heard claimed that they were the sons of the same John and May Anderson that were the alleged parents of the Rebecca Anderson that married John "Old John" Hash. Some have gone even further to speculate that the Darby Hash of the Eastern Shore of Maryland was the father of "Old John" Hash and next door neighbor to John and May Anderson. This John is supposed to be the son of a William Anderson of Maryland. William passed away on the journey.

 

So the story is spun that:

John "Old John" Hash was born and christened in St. Mary's Co., MD and the Hashes and Andersons remove to New Jersey. Some where along this time line Rebecca (Anderson) and her siblings are born as well as "Old John's."

 

"Old John" Hash and Rebecca marry in NJ.

 

John, his wife Rebecca, his brothers James and William, and his brothers-in-law John and Jacob all removed to Montgomery Co. (Later Grayson Co.) VA.

 

A twist to this fourth version (from Carol Conrad - her original text contained errors) says that the father of John and Jacob bought land in Wilkes County, NC and passed away a year after he had been living there.

 

NOTE:

This fourth version tale somewhat matches 'John Anderson (AFN:RRC8-G1)' listed at 'www.familysearch.org'. This 'other' group of Anderson's lived to the west of Grayson County, VA, after the county boundaries were redrawn. Their story involves a William Anderson, a father and son both named John, a 'wife' named Rebecca and the father moving on after a period of time. John, the son, built what is called the 'Block house' in Washington County. Even Old John Hash is part of this 'block house' story.

- Pat,

 

Wow, you sent 4 e-mails!  I did not mean to un-settle you, please forgive me for that. Below is the current data I have on my ancestor 'John Anderson' of Grayson County.

 

BTW, in one of your e-mails, you mention John's mother as May Horton. I've only recently suspected a variation of this (Mary 'Helton') in regard to Mary's maiden name (the wife of John -- Jacob's brother). See my comments before the land records I've listed below. This might be more evidence of confusion between the father and son. If you have another source for this info please consider this as a request for it. Hopefully, in this e-mail, I've addressed your comments from your other notes to me. If not let me know.

 

- Take care,

ORIGIN STORIES OF JOHN AND JACOB ANDERSON

=========================================

Both John & Jacob were rev war soldiers under Capt Enoch Osborne in Montgomery Co., (Later Grayson Co.)VA in 1781.

 

(Brief mention - for orientation)

Jacob Anderson b abt 1756 d 1825 m Susannah Buchanan abt 1776 and had at least two children:

John Jr. ("Johnnie" - named after his uncle), and Rebecca.

 

John Anderson b bet 1746 - 1751 d bef Aug 1830 m Mary [Unknown] b abt 1755 d bef 1840

 

John Anderson's Will, abstracted from the 'Official' Grayson County VA Will Book (1793) Transcribed April 2001, by Paul Bryan Anderson, a descendant. This is a variation of the standard will format in use at the time. John requests that his funeral expenses be paid and his wife, Mary, be cared for. George, William, Jonathan, Isaac, Joseph and Nancy each receive 1 cent from the estate. Milley inherits a yearling cow. Elizabeth and her husband Stephen B. Ross (m. 12 Mar 1818), a Baptist Minister, inherits the remainder of John Anderson's estate. The will was witnessed 7 Jan 1826; Probated Aug 1830, continued to Nov 1830, and an estate inventory was recorded 01 Jul 1831.

 

The 1830 Census does not list John Anderson's household, however, in the household of Stephen Ross an older female is listed (it's probably Mary, John's wife). She is not listed in the 1840 Census.

GRAYSON COUNTY, VA LAND RECORDS OF JOHN ANDERSON

================================================

 

There is some evidence that the brothers, John and Jacob Anderson, had some form of attachment to Wilkes County, NC.

 

Questions I have:

Does anyone have info on the John Helton, listed below?

John Helton apparently went out of his way to accommodate John Anderson.

Could this indicate that they were inlaws -- or was there some other reason?

 

Any info or comments would be appreciated.

 

=====

Paraphrased 'John Anderson' Extracts from: "Grayson County, Virginia, Deed Book No. 1" Published by TLC Genealogy

=====

 

On Apr 15, 1795 'John Helton' [of Wilkes County, North Carolina], for divers considerations and good causes gave his friend, Thomas Testament of Grayson County, power of Attorney so that he could give 'John Anderson' (as well as Daniel Jones) a lawful right to the land where they now live in Grayson.

 

NOTE: Additional 'Internet' documents from LVA (no longer available -- due to budget problems!) indicate that John Anderson was living in Grayson County, VA on land next to his brother Jacob at this time.

 

On Apr 14, 1798 John Anderson sold this land (107 acres in Grayson County, VA on the waters of Fox Cr) to Joseph Cox for 60 pounds.

 

On Apr 23, 1798 'John Anderson' of Grayson County bought, for 50 pounds, from 'John & Mary Helton' [of Lee County, VA] 130 acres on the Laurel fork of Fox Creek. This is the property willed to Elizabeth and her husband upon John's death. This property remains in one piece and with the Ross family until after the Civil War.

 

Note: This was part of a survey of 370 acres granted to the said Helton by patent dated May 17, 1793.

 

On a Sep 14, 1798 'John & Mary Helton' [of Grayson County, VA] sold a tract of land, next to John Anderson's property, to Daniel Jones

 

=====

 

>From the Internet (with repairs):

One descendant of this Anderson line says, in her family lore, that John Anderson (Husband to May and Father of John and Jacob) bought land in Wilkes County, NC in 1787 but then passes away in 1789.

 

Note that there IS a John Anderson listed in the Wilkes County, NC 1787 tax records at New River Notes.

 

=====

 

>From conversations with an NCNR Group member:

There are indications of a John and Jacob Anderson living in Wilkes County, NC dated prior to records listing those same names in Grayson County, VA.

 

[PBA]

For that matter, there is a Cornelius Anderson and a Thomas Anderson listed as being in Wilkes Co. NC during that time frame as well. More research is Needed.

The information in this text file is from a number of family and public domain sources. Three individuals who provided considerable assistance are Minnie Hall (Grayson County Historical Society), Julia Williams Kodak, and Bette Nelson. Note that my full database contains over 2000 individuals.

 

Note: This document is an abbreviated listing. The "**" indicates my direct line and this individuals information is continued below the next "----".

5) Son: George b 02/15/1782 m abt 1804 Elizabeth Sullivan

George disappears from Grayson County, VA records before 1820. Some 'speculate' that he was also known by the name 'Swinfield' (other spellings exist) and he moved to Hawkins County, TN. There are no documents that support this, though.

 

6) Daughter: Nancy b 1790 d aft 1850

No Information found

8) Daughter: Elizabeth b 1797

   m 03/12/1818 Rev. Stephen B. Ross b 1800 d 1898 s/o Joseph

 

Note 1: Brother of Jacob

Note 2: Anderson Family lore says that the father of John and Jacob was also named 'John' and their mother's name was 'May', however I am unable to find any record of them. Note that some of this 'early' lore closely parallels the John Anderson that built the 'Block-house', making it suspect!

 

Note 3: John was probably born before 1750, he died before Aug 1830.

Note 4: Descendant info from John's will, written in 1826, proved in 1830

Note 5: This John was a rev war soldier in Capt Enoch Osborne's Militia Company in Montgomery Co, Va in 1781 along with his brother.

Note 6: Mary b after 1750 d before 1840.

Note 7: John was originally given 107 acres of land on a branch of Middle Fox Creek near his brother Jacob, but he sold it on 14 Apr 1798 to Joseph Cox. A week later he purchased about 130 acres in Grayson County, VA at the mouth of Laurel Creek, a branch of Ripshin Creek/Fox Creek. This was located about a mile Southeast of Trout Dale. This farm passed into the ownership of Stephen B. Ross/Elizabeth Anderson and remained intact until after the Civil War when it was broken up into smaller parcels.

        My ancestor Jacob Anderson was most likely born in the Delaware River Valley of New Jersey.  He had a brother John who came to Grayson County, VA with him by 1777.  Jacob is listed on the Capt. Enoch Osborne list of militia for Montgomery Co, VA in 1777.  As you know Grayson was part of Montgomery Co. in 1777.  John settled near Troutdale, VA and Jacob had lands on Middle Fox Creek in the Flatridge area of Grayson.

        Jacob had two daughters, Rebecca who married John Hash and Nancy Anderson who married William Hash, Jr.  He also had a son John b.  Oct 1794 in Grayson and died in 1875.  I am descended from both John son of Jacob and Rebecca Anderson Hash.  John Anderson son of Jacob married Feraby Cornett, daughter of David Cornett 1750-1847 another Revolutionary Patriot.  John Anderson brother of Jacob was married to a Mary.

        There was also a Peter Anderson in the area but we're not sure if he was a brother or cousin of John and Jacob.  I think there was also a James Anderson, but we're not sure of his relationship either.

        If you need more information let me know.

Dear Patrick:

 

Currently, I am putting together a book on the descendants of Jacob Anderson. Most likely, you have seen the book forms produced by the 6.0 version of Family Tree Maker. This is what I am using for my book. I hope to have it ready by next summer. Our annual Anderson/Cornett Family Reunion is held every second Saturday of August in Grayson County, VA.

 

Thank you again for including my information about Jacob on your website.

 

Sincerely,

Hi CK

 

Saw your reply to Sheila and wanted to let you know I have a land transfer dated May 10, 1817 and witnessed by Ezekiel Sullivan.  It's signed in his handwriting. Will be happy to send you a copy.  Evidently my Wallen family lived near your Sullivans in Hawkins/Hancock County, TN and Grayson/Montgomery County, VA. 

 

I also descend from John Hash and Rebecca Anderson through their daughter Jane who married Enoch Osborne.  I don't have much other than my direct line but would like to exchange info with you, if you're interested.

I am looking for any information on Rebecca Anderson, b.1777 and married John H. Hash, 1772-1844. I believe her parents were Jacob Anderson and Susannah Buchanan. I descend through their daughter, Maryann Hash, 1807-1880. Thanks for any help.
