Notes for Reynard Anderson:

[Reynard.ftw]

 

        Reynard Anderson is identified as a head right in the patent of Martin Coale for 300 acres on the south side of the Great Wicomoco River in Northumberland County on 07/01/1654.  In 1650 William Skiffen had been imported to Northumberland County and as Reynard is recorded to have married Elizabeth Skiffen (likely an underage daughter at the time of the 1650 importation) Reynard may have begun his time in Virginia in Northumberland County. 

        However by 1662 he had become a resident of the southside Virginia.  His name appears in the Charles City County records and as transcribed by readers takes on several variant spellings.  I have no indication of where he was born and consideration must be given equally to the possibility that he came from Europe and/or was born to the Anderson family of the York River.  The name Reynard is unusual. In English: of Norman origin, derived from a Germanic personal name composed of the elements ragin advice, decision + hard hardy, brave, strong. In French, renard (derived from this name) has become the generic name for a fox, as a result of the popularity of medieval beast tales featuring Re(y)nard le goupil "Reynard the fox". Cognate: German: Reinhard. (source ancestry.com)

        Reynard probably purchased land near Bailey's Creek in Charles City County south of the James River around the time of his marriage in 1662.  His purchase of land rather than patenting it, implies he had resources to pay. However all the Charles City County deeds have been destroyed so it is not possible to confirm what lands he might have held while raising his children. The 1663 Bennington power of Attorney mentions Mays and Coleman who are later associated with lands near Bailey's Creek which flows northeast of Petersburg Virginia. Just before his death he does obtain a patent in the headwaters of Blackwater River which reach just short of the Bailey Creek area. It is unlikely he had enough time to do much with that late acquisition of land.  His daughter Frances marries John Herbert whose plantation was also in this vicinity. It is important to note that his sons all obtained land by 1704 along Bailey Creek just northeast of current Petersburg and it is likely that this came from their father's estate.  Because the sons received differing shares of their fathers estate it appears his will was probated but has been lost due to civil war distruction of records.

Patrick:

    I think we have corresponded before.  I am looking for Mayes/Mays family connections.  I've been looking over all this wonderful information on your page.  Thank you so much for posting all of this onto the internet. 

    About Reynard -- he, John Coleman and John Mayes were together in the early years and it appears that his family and the Mayes stayed together for awhile.  I think a daughter of his either was a wife to John Mayes Sr. or to one of his sons.  This is based on 1. the naming pattern in the Mayes family and 2. the continued proximity between the families.  Right now, what I am hypothesizing is that John Mayes had sons William who married Mary Mattox, John Jr. who married a Martha, Henry who married Mary, and maybe James who married ?  From one of these sons, two of whom were deceased by 1700,  (or possibly from a late marriage of John Sr.'s) we have: Matthew who married Elizabeth and moved to Dinwiddie; Henry who married Elizabeth and moved to unknown; John who married Julia and moved to unknown. There are also two Daniels, and a James Jr. I am working on fitting into this equation.

     I think that Matthew, John and Henry are sons or grandsons of a female Anderson.  Matthew Mayes in Dinwiddie lives nextdoor to William Anderson.  A James Mayes witnesses John Anderson's will.  I would appreciate any imput you could offer on this guess.

 

    Also -- you may have already noticed this, but I thought I'd mention that David Anderson of Stafford Co buys land with a Coale.  Reynard Anderson was imported in 1754 by Martin Coale of Northumberland Co.  This could be a clue.  I was especially interested in that they appear to buy land on Passapantanzy Creek (spelling is off but it is close enough to suggest it may be the same site) where I find a John Mees (Mays) living in late 1600s, early 1700s in St. Paul's parish, next to Grigsbys and Fowlke. I am very interested in the Stafford area, as this is where the Mayes of Amherst Co emigrated from.

Notes for Matthew Anderson:

[Reynard.ftw]

 

       Matthew Anderson was born near Bailey's Creek (vicinity of Petersburg, VA) after 1668 to be under the age of 21 at the time of the 1689 record identifying him as a son of Reynard Anderson.

 

Reynard Anderson

In Court 02/03/1689

Charles City County Court Orders 1687-1695, page 276

     Judgt. granted Reynard Anderson as guardian to his four sons Matthew, Wm., John, and Henry Anderson, legatees of Tho. Symons, dec'd, agst Geo. Downing, Exec. of will of said Symons, for £ 10, which is given to said sons (50 s to each) by said will. Said Anderson to give good security.

 

       When his father died in 1690 he received a legacy of land near Bailey's Creek which he held at the time of the 1704 rent roll wherein he is listed with his brothers.

Source, "The Quit Rents of Virginia, 1704"; by Smith, Annie Laurie Wright; Virginia State Archives; 1957.

Anderson, Henry          Prince George County     250 acres

Anderson, John      Prince George County     228 acres

Anderson, Matthew        Prince George County     349 acres

Anderson, Wm.       Prince George County     235 acres

 

       Note that Matthew was holding more land than his brothers and I believe that this is becasue he was acting as guardian to his nephews, sons of James Anderson his elder brother deceased before 1704.  He was likley holding lands legated to them by their grandfathers will in 1690.

       I have found no evidence that Matthew had a family although he seems to have acted as guardian for the sons of his older brothers James and William. It is very tempting to assign the children to the unconfirmed son James here under the listing for Matthew.  However the 1711 record clearly indicates that Mathew, Jr.'s father was James and desceased and as Mathew. Sr. lives on he could not be their father. Dinwiddie County records were destroyed in a 1833/7? fire and Matthew's family may be lost. A more thorough examination of Brunswick County records might reveal any children.

Notes for James Anderson:

[Reynard.ftw]

        It is unproven that James Anderson was an elder son of Reynard born between 1662 and 1668.  James was apparently of age 21 before the 1689 record naming the other sons and therefore was not named.  James is last confirmed to be alive in 1693. James is not listed in the 1704 rent roll and is pressumed deceased before then. I am looking for evidence that Matthew acted as the guardian of James' infant children because they were underage at the death of their father.  Matthew posseses an extra 125 or so acres in the 1704 rent roll which I suspect to be land due to the orphans of James Anderson and does execute deeds in association with his nephews the sons of James. In tracing the family there is a greatgrandson in James' branch named Reinard.  Because James is not mentioned in the 1689 suit naming the sons considerable closure could be obtained by dismissing the son James and placing his children as Matthew's but I have not done so because the 1711 record specifically identifies Matthew Jr.'s father as James Anderson and that he is deceased. Matthew, Sr. however, was very much alive, so he could not be the father of the siblings of Matthew, Jr.

        These records naming Coleman and Mayse clearly associate this James Anderson with Reynard Anderson who was an associate of Coleman and Mayse in the 1663 time frame in the same vicinity near Bailey's Creek.  In addition this record clearly identifies Matthew Anderson, Jr. as the son of James Anderson.  I have examined the original in the Virginia State archives and this abstract is correct.  In consideration of the close association of the brother Matthew Anderson, Sr. with Matthew Anderson Jr.'s brother James along the Butterwood Creek I leave the possibility open that Matthew acted as their guardian.  Notice also that the 1710 record refers to the "land" of James Anderson while using names for the others.

Notes for Frances Anderson:

[Reynard.ftw]

 

        Frances Anderson was the daughter of Reynard Anderson and Elizabeth Skiffen. She would have been born in the mid 1660's just northeast of current Petersburg, Virginia.  She married John Herbert and lived with him on his estate "Puddledock" east of Petersburg.

        John Herbert was a wealthy trader and from his estate Mrs. Herbert is credited with 3925 acres of land in the 1704 rent roll of Prince George County and 1360 acres in Henrico County

        After John Herbert's death Frances married Thomas Cocke secondly and Joshua Wynne thirdly.  Her wealth made her a very marriagable widow.

In Reply to: Re: Peter Wynne/Winn died 1738 Prince George Co., VA by James R. Marie  of 729 

 

 

I am sorry, but I do not agree that Peter Wynne married Frances Anderson, based on the following: it is too time consuming to include all of the info but I shall quote from the following from AMERICAN GENEALOGIST, VOL. 37 & 38, #149, January 1962. The article is written by Cameron Allen of East Orange, N.J. He lists five noted sources, including the WILLIAM AND MARY QUARTERLY 1:8:147-8 (1900).

Briefly: ". . . The first writer to make the statement that the widow Frances (Anderson) Herbert married secondly Peter Wynne seems to have reached such a conclusion from a perusal of this series of facts: John Herbert died 17 March 1704 (i.e. 1704/5); in 1716 Mrs. Frances Wynne was executrix of Herbert's will; Peter Wynne's wife was named Frances. Mrs. Frances Wynne made her will in 1725; listing her Herbert children. Each "fact" in this series is just that; a fact; and yet the conclusion reached therefrom that Mrs. Herbert married Peter Wynne is greviously mistaken . . . Peter did not lift a finger to help Frances in the execution of Herbert's will. Then when Frances Wynne made her will on 16 October 1725, though she carefully named her children, she carefully avoided mentioning Peter Wynne. This is singular if he was her husband nor is he mentioned anywhere in the probate of her will 4 March 1726 (1726/27 (Prince George County Virginia Deeds 1713-28 pp. 973-4). Just one year later, on 11/12 March 1727, Peter Wynne and his wife, Frances deeded 42 acres to Joshua Woodlief. . .Further, if Mrs. Frances (Anderson) Herbert did marry Joshua Wynne's son, Peter, she must have been substantially his elder. Her first husband, John Herbert died 17 March 1704 (1704/5) in the 46th year of his age. . .In point of fact, chronology would seem to put her one full generation ahead of Peter. . . There were only three male Wynnes of this family of Charles City-Prince George of this generation. One of them Robert, died young and rather assuredly without issue. The next, Thomas, had a wife, Agnes mentioned in his will. This leaves only Joshua suited to marry Mrs. Herbert, barring the possibility that she married a Winn from some other county. . . but all of the records concerning Mrs. Frances Wynne place her in the very neighborhood where Joshua's children lived. Consequently it is fair to assume that she was of this family. We do know that Joshua Wynne had a wife, Mary. It seems not unlikely that Mary (Jones) Wynne predeceased her husband, Joshua sometime between 1707 and 1712 leaving him free to marry Mrs. Herbert. "

Pat, just a note to let you know that it now appears we have been looking at the wrong man as marrying the above Frances Anderson, who first married John HERBERT who died in 1704, then briefly to Thomas COCKE who died in 1707, and lastly, not to Peter WYNNE, but to his father, Joshua WYNNE!      To complicate matters, Peter WYNNE was indeed married to a Frances, himself, but she was definitely alive after Frances Anderson H.C. WYNNE died in 1726.    Ain't genealogy fun?  Best wishes, Gene Rooks

These interesting documents were sent to me by Barbara Good:

Frances Wynne is mentioned in 1713 showing she married him by then, probably in 1711.

 

 

The only name of a wife for Peter that appears in Prince George records, off an on from about 1713 through 1727, is Frances.  Research has indicated she is not the same Frances Anderson who was the widow of John Herbert.  (She married his father, Joshua)  The idea that she is a daughter of Col. Edward Hill is from a deed of a slave to Mary Wynne from the estate of Col. Edward Hill, but that may be an erroneous assumption, as he gave bequests to several people not his family.

 

Frances appears with her husband Peter as witness to this will:

From Woody Thomas comes the following:

12 March 1727, one year later, (than the recorded will of Frances Wynne, widow of John Herbert)  on page 1083 of the same deed

book, Peter Wynne's wife is examined in private by the court in the case of a deed conveying land from Peter Wynne and his wife Frances to Joshua Woodleif.

 Thus, Peter Wynne's wife Frances is just as clearly alive in March 1727 and, therefore, cannot be Frances, widow Herbert, as many Wynne genealogies claim.

Notes for William Anderson:

[Reynard.ftw]

 

        William Anderson was born near Bailey's Creek (vicinity of Petersburg, VA) after 1669 in order to be under 21 at the time of the 1689 record identifying his father as Reynard Anderson.

 

Reynard Anderson

In Court 02/03/1689

Charles City County Court Orders 1687-1695, page 276

     Judgt. granted Reynard Anderson as guardian to his four sons Matthew, Wm., John, and Henry Anderson, legatees of Tho. Symons, dec'd, agst Geo. Downing, Exec. of will of said Symons, for £ 10, which is given to said sons (50 s to each) by said will. Said Anderson to give good security.

 

        I have no proof of the family of William Anderson except that I know he married Mary Ligon from Henrico County records in 1698 and that some of the land south of Hopewell (owned by the five sons of Reynard) was passed to a Reynard Anderson and that a John Anderson appears in the Bristol Parish Register which covered the area near Mawhipponoak Creek.  It is likely that he has some children but as the Dinwiddie County records were all burned in a courthouse fire in 1833/7? it is not possible at this time to reconstruct his family from county records.  We must hope that we can find a descendant of his whom has family records.  The Ligon family claims that he died before 1716 and that his wife remarried to Peter Rowlett. However they are depending upon a deed abstract that has errors in it.  I suspect that Peter Rowlett in fact married Mary Ligon's mother Mary Ligon.

 

        When his father died in 1690 he received a legacy of land near Bailey's Creek which he held at the time of the 1704 rent roll wherein he is listed with his brothers.

Hi Patrick.  This is what I have.  It is color coded.

 

. Mary LIGON was born in 1679 in Henrico County, Virginia. " ..to my daughter, Mary..". She He was named in document in JAN 1716/17 in Varina Parish, Henrico County, Virginia. "Document was a statement that Wm. Ligon dec'd left certain land to be divided between his daughter Mary (now married to Peter Rowlett) and an unborn child, now 21 years and Lucretia." Note that Mary is shown here as being under the age of 16....."..to be under the care of my wife until they are age 21, unless she marry, then only to age 16...".

 

She was married to William ANDERSON on 15 JUL 1698 in Henrico County, Virginia. Lic. granted 15 JUL 1698, Henrico County, Virginia.

Shown in 1608-1808 Henrico County, VA, Marriages by Lindsay as being the marriage date as well? William ANDERSON was born before 1680.

 

She was married to Peter ROWLETT (son of Peter ROWLETT and Elizabeth) before JAN 1716. For more info on the ROWLETT family see GEDCOM in ROWLETT family file. (this includes a gedcom source unknown which goes into the descendants of Peter Rowlett Sr. in detail). Peter ROWLETT was born about 1674 in Henrico County, Virginia. He died in 1748/49. Mary LIGON and Peter ROWLETT had the following children:

 

 John ROWLETT

Thomas ROWLETT I believe this person has a descendancy that appears to be like this... Thomas (1700-?) & ?

        John Rowlett (1735-?) & Polly Edith Jackson (1739-?)

                William (1760-?) and Jemima Owen (1765-?)

                        Nancy (1787-1871)

Joseph ROWLETT.

WIlliam ROWLETT. 

Martha Francis ROWLETT

 

Sarah ROWLETT was born in 1711 in Henrico County, Virginia.

_____________________________________________

I have found this note to be in error.  William Ligon in his will left the land to be divided between his daughter Mary and his and wife Mary's unborn daughter Lucretia.  The 1716 abstract that says Mary and Lucretia have agreed to divide the land and that Peter Rowlet who married Mary consents.  The abstracct has errors in it , saying, "the child she went" with refering to the daughter when it was the wife.  think the abstractor was thoroughly confused by the deed and and I suspect that the Mary Ligon that Peter married was the mother of Mary and Lucretia and that she and Peter were consenting in the division of the land. Clarification of this issue will requuire examination of the original of court document on page 137 of Henrico Book 1714-1718.

       The existence of this man is assumed from the entry in Virginia Patents of a Reynard Anderson in 1724 listed on Bailey's Run, P. G. Co., adj. William Crawley, William Batts, this was in the area of William's land and I therefore assign Reynard as a son of William.

Notes for Henry Anderson:

[Reynard.ftw]

 

        Henry Anderson was born near Bailey's Creek just east of current Petersburg, Virginia to Reynard Anderson and Elizabeth Skiffen. He inherited 250 acres of his fathers lands in 1690 while still underage and took possession of them before the 1704 rent roll which indicates that he was born before 1683.

        Henry was a friend and part time Overseer for William Byrd,II for Byrd's lands at the falls of the Appomattox River. William Byrd's diaries contain references to Henry reporting to William Byrd after William's return from a voyage to London in 1715.  He was sometimes referred to as Hal Anderson in Byrd's secret diary. A few notes of interest can be found therein.  By 1716 he was developing 500 acres above the falls of the Appomatox River on the north side near Wintopock Creek.  His first wife Prudence is named in a Henrico County Deed.

In Reply to: Edward Anderson 1749-1806 ChesterfieldVA by Patrick Anderson  of 14923 

 

 

My great-great-great grandfather was an Edward Anderson of Chesterfield County, Virginia. He married Amy Ann Gilliam on February 12, 1818. Amy Ann Gilliam was the daughter of Samuel Gilliam and Susannah Bolling of "Poplar Hill" in Brunswick County.

Edward Anderson and Amy Ann Gilliam had two daughters, Louisa Roberta Yates Anderson and Anne Gilliam Anderson. Louisa first married Green Hill of Dinwiddie County and second Joseph Bentley. Anne married Dr. Edwin Harvie Smith of Dinwiddie County.

 

I always heard that my Edward Anderson was a lawyer and a prominent citizen of Chesterfield County. This is about all my family knows about him because his wife died young, and my great-great grandmother, Louisa Roberta Yates Anderson Hill, was brought up by her grandmother, Susannah Bolling Gilliam, in Brunswick County.

 

Do you have any information on my Edward Anderson? Thank you.

Dear Sir,

 

I do need to make at least one correction to material I saw on your website.  I think that you misidentified the husband of Judith Anderson, a

daughter of Henry Anderson, Sheriff of Henrico Co., by his wife Prudence Stratton.  I think you called him John Powell Cocke. (editor's note: John Powell Cocke held a patent adjacent Henry Anderson Judith's father in central Amelia county and is an apparently undocumented brother of James Powell Cocke]

 

Actually, I believe he was someone else entirely.

 

From June Court, 1739, Henrico Co., VA

 

p. 84, John NAsh and Brazure Cocke, Gent., securities of Judith Cocke, administrator for the estate of William Cocke, setting forth they have

cause to believe the estate would be embezzled, ask to be relieved. Francis Redford, who hath married said Judith, comes into court and brings John Redford, Gent., and John Stuart, who give security in administration of estate.

 

Then, this from the Cocke family history I mentioned earlier.

 

from Goochland County Court May 173?.  (Order Book 7, p. 402)

 

Jordan vs. Cocke.  William Cocke, his life time was possessed of 4 negroes as his own, one of which was a slave named in the declaration in this suit; William Cocke died sometime about the year 1736 leaving issue 2 children (one was name Judith, by the way), infants, said infants both dying not more than 8 years old; at death of said infants said negroes descended to Sarah, wife of Thomas Jordan,  Temperance, wife of Abraham Bailey, Mary, wife of John Redford, sisters and co-heiresses of said William Cocke and John Burton Jr. son and heir of Catherine, then deceased, late wife of John Burton, said Catherine being a sister of said William Cocke.  Sarah, wife of the plaintiff (i.e. Thomas Jordan) in this suit was at the time of her intermarriage with the said plaintiff, the widow and relict of one William

Cox, and that said William Cox died before the death of the infants of aforesaid William Cocke.  The defendant in this suit, John Cox, is son and heir at law to said William Cox by the said Sarah,...etc.

 

This William Cocke, who died in Henrico Co. c. 1736 was more than likely the husband of Judith Anderson, as you can see.  They had two small children who died at an early age.  The widow Judith Anderson Cocke remarried to Francis Redford, probably a brother of the John Redford who had married William Cocke's sister Mary.  There is also some evidence that Judith Anderson was married to a Stuart prior to her marriage to William Cocke.  In any case, the person who wrote the Cocke history thought her maiden name was Stuart.  This William Cocke and the multiple sisters mentioned earlier were the children of William Cocke (1670--1717) by Sarah Perrin.  William, Sr was the brother of the  Thomas Cocke, d. 1707 (wife Mary Brazier, Frances -----) who was father to my Brazure Cocke.   So Brazure Cocke and William Cocke m. Judith Anderson were first cousins.

     Numerous Land Patents have been entered for the Nottoway area under the name of James Anderson.  Some of these, particularily those along the Little Nottoway River west of current Blackstone may be attributed to James Anderson of Surry County, son of Thomas Anderson of a different family.  Those along Deep Creek north of Blackstone however are those of this James Anderson and his son James.

        Eight children of James Anderson have been identified.  All are named in his will.  The family record appears to be complete.  Elizabeth Anderson, marries George Bagley,Sr. a neighbor. Two of James' grandsons marry daughters of George Bagley,Jr.  The daughter Mary Anderson marries a Martin, likely to be George Martin to whom James,II sells land in 1753, 1768 and gives additional land in his will of 1773. The Martin's witness the will of George Bagley, Sr.  The daughter Mason Anderson marries Peter Knight brother of Charles Knight the appraiser of James' estate.  Charles Knight is listed close with Elizabeth Anderson, James' widow, in the 1785 Amelia land tax rolls.     The daughter Frances Anderson is claimed by others to have married James Grigg,Sr.  She is listed as deceased in her fathers will. He states that her heirs should have no part of his estate.  However if she is the child of Elizabeth Ligon she could not have been born before 1715 or so, she either married a later Grigg or is possibly the daughter of an earlier wife of James Anderson.  The daughter Elizabeth was also born very early and I suspect as well that she was a daughter of the first wife if there was one.

        The exact date of death is unknown.

        The will of James Anderson is filed in Amelia County, Virginia Will Book 3 on page 36.  There is no probate given.  All of the early entries of this book are absent any probate statements by the court clerk.  I suspect that the entries may be a later (still 18th century) recopy of a damaged book, and that there may be a single clerk's certification to be found at the end of the recopied data.

        Also mentioned are the negroes York, Diner, Jerry, and Jesse.  It is important to note the slave named York, as he lives to a generous old age and provides a viable method for tracking this James through the Amelia and Nottoway tax rolls.  He later establishes certainty as to the proper identity of Charles Anderson in the tax rolls. In addition he was given to Elizabeth, widow of James until her death.

 

In the name of God Amen June the 14th one thousand seven hundred and seventy three I James Anderson of the County of Amelia and Parish of Nottoway being in a low state of health in body but perfect in mind and calling to mind the uncertainty of this present state & that it is appointed for all men to die, do make & ordain this my last will and testament that is to say, principally I give and recommend my soul into the hands of God Almighty that gave it me, and as for anybody I desire it may be buried in a Christian like manner at the discretion of my Executors not doubting I shall receive the same as general resurrection by the power of God and as touching such wordly estates wherewith it hath pleased God to bless me with in this life I give devise and dispose of the same in following manner & Form    Inprincis I lend my dearly beloved wife Elizabeth Anderson during her natural life the following Negroes named York, Dinar, Jery & Jesse also all my household goods & stock of hogs and Cattle.

     The inventory (abridged) and appraisal of James Anderson's estate appears on page 53 of Amelia Will Book 3.  It is dated 10/20/1781 and is notable for the inflated values assigned to the goods at the time of the revolution.  Charles Anderson is listed as the Executor and Wm Watson, Henry Anderson, and Charles Knight are listed as appraisers.

 

 

Notes for Elizabeth Ligon:

[Reynard.ftw]

 

        Broddie gives the name of James,II wife as Elizabeth Ligon.

        Elizabeth Ligon, who married an Anderson, is referred to in Genealogies of Virginia Families, Volume III, page 503. It does not give the Christian name of the Anderson and states her birth date as 1701.  She is listed as the daughter of Thomas Ligon. James Anderson files and persues a claim to her inheritance which is documented in Barton's Colonial decisions.

        Elizabeth probably dies about 1780-81 precipitating the clearing up of James Anderson,Sr. estate.  In particular, the name of York appears in her sons will of 1781 and as York was given unto Elizabeth until her death, I have assumed that she dies before this time.

Pat, thought I would provide some feedback to you on my research to date re my research into james mitchell.  As a reminder, I am looking for parents of the mary ligon who m. peter stainback c1785 & was investigating to see if she may have been a dau of Robert ligon & sarah cary Mitchell, dau of james Mitchell.  Robert & sarah were m. 1769 in amelia

 

Have now looked at all of abstracted Amelia co records plus some original records. 

 

1. james Mitchell is on Amelia co tithe lists for 1736, 37, 38, 47, 48, 49, 52, 53, 54, 55, 62, 63, 64 [based on abstracted records] & 1768 [looking at original records]. 

2. Amelia co records indicate james Mitchell was in amelia for at least some of the years he was not on tithe lists; need to look at original lists to see

3. in 1741, james Mitchell was "of Goochland" when he sold land in Amelia.  This fits with tithe lists, but he is not in any of abstracted Goochland co records

4. in 1768, james Mitchell was responsible for tithes on Anderson and James Mitchell.  Also on tithe list & names adjacent to james were john Mitchell with slave George and Thomas Mitchell, who was also responsible for Richard Mitchell. 

Will of james Mitchell shows john & james were his sons.  Believe Thomas was the orphan of walter Mitchell who was bound out in 1758.  suspect Richard was also a son of walter

in 1753 mary, Richard, and Isaac Mitchell were bound out to charles irby, no parents listed.  However, a john Mitchell d c1752.  john was m. to ann & in 1752 james Mitchell sold land that had been patented by john Mitchell.  Abstracted record does not say how james Mitchell obtained title

so, were the Mitchell kids in 1753 entry children of john?

5. james Mitchell had 2 wives.  In 1741 and 1746 wife sarah relinquished her dower when james sold land.  By October 1747, james Mitchell was m. to ann cocke, dau of james powell cocke

6. Anderson Mitchell was living with james Mitchell in 1768 & witnessed marriage bond of Robert ligon & sarah cary Mitchell.  Had originally thought he was son of james & ann cocke - info you send showed a cocke-anderson marriage, so that works.  But no longer sure. It is also possible Anderson was son of john & ann [maiden name unknown] Mitchell

7. do not know where james [or john d c1752] came from or where james and sarah were married.  Interestingly, a miles and henry cary were living in Goochland in 1730s & 1740s.  but there is no indication either had a dau named sarah or had a dau who m. a Mitchell.  But interestingly, c1800 a cary Mitchell married in Goochland

so . . . suspect sarah cary Mitchell was dau of sarah, first wife of james Mitchell.  They may have been m. in Goochland & james may have lived with sarah's family for a couple of years in Goochland

about as far as I have gotten, but since you have collected info on james Mitchell, thought you may be interested

In 1767 William appears to have 3 slaves inherited from Dr. John's estate. This same William has 884 acres in 1764 and appears on 2 lists for that year. On Benj. Ward's list with Dr. John, and list of Wood Jones, probably were property  was located. William sold property in 1764 by 3 deeds, at least one property seems to have been from John HERBERT, possibly John HERBERT of Chesterfield Co, VA whose Will of 4 - 20 - 1760 said, ."..to brother William ANDERSON ....tract of land in Amelia Co, VA "

In 1767 William appears to have 3 slaves inherited from Dr. John's estate. This same William has 884 acres in 1764 and appears on 2 lists for that year. On Benj. Ward's list with Dr. John, and list of Wood Jones, probably were property  was located. William sold property in 1764 by 3 deeds, at least one property seems to have been from John HERBERT, possibly John HERBERT of Chesterfield Co, VA whose Will of 4 - 20 - 1760 said, ."..to brother William ANDERSON ....tract of land in Amelia Co, VA "

Hi Patrick,

 

I have tracked my ANDERSON line back to Charles ANDERSON, who bought land in Nottoway Parish, Amelia Co, VA, in Sep. 1774, on Tom Hitton (Tomihetton) Creek  (see Amelia Co, VA Deed Bk. 13, pg 57)  Charles moved to Pittsylvania Co, VA about 1802  (see Pittsylvania Co, VA Deed Bk 13, pg 272) and died there about 1827 (Pittsy. Co, VA Will Bk 1, pg115) one DAR application say he was born " Edinburg, Scotland  5 May 1750 "  and died "Pittsylvania Co, VA 23 Oct 1829 (sic) " Others, say he was born 1752 Nottoway Co, VA

The 1880 Census for only living sons of Charles, Samuel Richardson  ANDERSON stated his father was born "Scotland", and Edward B. ANDERSON stated his father was born "England"

 

I suspect Charles is the son of John ANDERSON who died in  Raleigh Parish, Amelia Co, VA in 1766. John's inventory, dated 10 Oct 1766, lists slaves - (female) Dol, Pat, Jude & Sarah  (male) Jammy, Harry, Seth, Watt, Robin, Ben, Tom & Bob John willed slaves, Roben, Sarah & Bob to his son, William and gave rest of his estate to his son, Charles. in the 1778 tithe list for  Nottoway Parish, Amelia Co, VA there are 2 Charles ANDERSON's listed. One is Charles ANDERSON (James, James, Reynard) who married Lucy STOKES, and the other Charles, ( I suspect is living on Tomihetton Creek ) lists slaves - Harry, Jude, Doll, Cate, Patt, Watt, Tom & Amy
