Descendants of Robert Anderson

Descendants of Robert Anderson

Generation No. 1

1. The Immigrant Robert⁴ Anderson (Richard³, "York Watershed"², "Colonial Virginia"¹) was born 1613 in Great Britain, and died Aft. 1666 in New Kent County, Virginia. He married ? Bartelot. She was born Abt. 1620, and died Aft. 1664 in New Kent County, Virginia.

Notes for The Immigrant Robert Anderson:

Robert Anderson, "the immigrant" was born in Great Britain in 1613. Hottens Emigrants by John Camden Hotten provides us with the fact that Robert Anderson, age 22, embarked in "Ann & Elizabeth" April 27, 1635 for Virginia. In York County Wills & Deeds on 12/3/1657 Robert Andrewson is listed as a juror. In the sources discussed below; Robert Anderson, Sr. of New Kent is credited as being born between 1640 and 1645 and his family is known to use the name Bartelot Anderson. In a 1694 York County deposition Bartelot Anderson and his brother John Anderson testify that they are 36 and 30 years old, thus born in 1658 and 1664. The land of Robert Anderson is listed in the Virginia Patents as adjacent Moyses Davies at Tottopottomoyes Creek in 1666. Robert Anderson, the immigrant then likely had sons Robert Anderson, Sr. of York then New Kent, Bartelot Anderson of York, and John Anderson of York and New Kent County.

_______________

This family has been researched for genealogical purposes since 1881. A Mr. Brock wrote several newspaper articles in the 1880's. Edward L. Anderson wrote the earliest book on the Robert Anderson family and published "The Andersons of Goldmine" which can be found in the Library of Congress. In 1936 William Pope Anderson began a re-work of the Robert Anderson family and documented that Robert Anderson,Sr. of New Kent County arrived in what is now Hanover county between 1670 and 1677 as one of 80 persons transported to Virginia by charter to George Chapman by William Berkeley, Governor.

In the mid 20th century Nell Marion Nugent published her index of the Virginia Land Patents including volume: Cavaliers and Pioneers, Abstracts of Virginia Land Patents and Grants, 1623-1666, Nell Marion Nugent, Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., Baltimore, Maryland, 1983. My examination in 1980's of Cavaliers and Pioneers revealed that there is a patent record in 1666 that shows Robert Anderson was an adjacent landholder to Moses Davies at Totopotomys Creek in the delta of the Pamunkey River at the head of the York River, an arm of the Chesapeake Bay. In addition a Robert Anderson appears in York County records as a jurist on December 3, 1657. It is very likely then that Robert Anderson, Sr. of New Kent County had been a resident of and been born in Virginia. Additional records would be available except that after Gloucester County was formed from York it's records were destroyed in an 1820 fire and the details of land purchases and wills along the north bank of the York River and at the mouth of the Pamunkey have been lost to that fire. The most significant loss is how Robert Anderson obtained his land at Totopotomys Creek.

If the family tradition of Edward L. Anderson in "The Andersons of Gold Mine" and repeated in "Ye Andersons of Virginia", pages 231- 288, Volume 11, Old Northwest Genealogical Quarterly, Columbus, Ohio, 1908; are correct, Robert's father may be the Reverend Richard Anderson, mentioned in 1640's and 1650's York County, Viriginia Court Records. "Burke's American Families With British Ancestry" (Genealogical Pub. Co., Baltimore, 1977) p.2539; Excerpted from "Burke's Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Landed Gentry," 16th ed. (London, 1939) contends that Robert Anderson, Sr. of New Kent probably descended from Richard Anderson who left England for the colonies 4 Jul 1635, being then aged 17, and was followed on 31 Jul of the same year by Richard Anderson, aged 50, who was presumably his father. The presumption is then that Richard Anderson age 17 in 1635 is the same as the Reverend Richard Anderson of York County VA and that he is the father of Robert Anderson, Sr. of New Kent. The ancestors of Robert Anderson, Sr. of New Kent given in these sources are very speculative, unsubstantiated by record and there are some conflicts between several authors' publications.

York County Wills & Deeds

12/3/1657 Robert Anderson is listed as a Juror

Robert Anderson, Sr. of New Kent County should have been born by 1636 to qualify as a jurist in 1657. Indeed it would have been unusual to have a 21 year old on a jury. It is also unlikely that an established resident of New Kent County would be a juror in York County.

This 1657 record suggests that there was an earlier generation of Robert Anderson living in York County and only recorded the once in the York County records. Hottens Emigrants by John Camden Hotten provides us with the fact that Robert Anderson, age 22, embarked in "Ann & Elizabeth" April 27, 1635 for Virginia. With the scarcety of surviving records and the fact that most of those surviving records pertain to land ownership it is entirely possible that Robert Anderson, Sr.'s father was the Robert Anderson (b.1613) of the Ann & Elizabeth and and could be claimed to be the father of Robert, Bartelot and John of York County Records. Robert Anderson, Sr. of New Kent County may not have been born until as late as 1645-1650.

By adding this ancestor I am of course creating another vague and unreliable possibility for the parentage of Robert Anderson, Sr. of New Kent County. I am doing so deliberately just to emphasize how easy it is to contrive another lineage. My claim is supported by just 3 records. The published claims that Robert descends from Richard Anderson (b.1585) and his alleged son Reverend Richard Anderson are even more contrived and are unsubstantiated by any Virginia record that I have found as of 2003.

From the Virginia land patents

1666 Robert Anderson adjacent Moyses Davies at Tottopottomoyes Creek

1670 Robert Anderson adjacent John Fleming & Thomas Glass

These two records indicate that a Robert Anderson already owned land along Tottopottomoyes Creek before 1666. Totopotomy's Creek flows into the Pamunkey River from the south in the eastern part of what is now Hanover County Virginia. While these notations refer to lands significantly upstream along the Pamunkey River it is a reported tradition that Robert Anderson had as his early primary residence properties at West Point near the junction of the Pamunkey, Mattaponi and York Rivers. The western lands near Totopotomey's Creek were speculative and in the interests of his growning sons.

The 1666 record is the first that we can soundly connect to Robert Anderson, Sr. of New Kent County, as this land can be traced in his possession. Whether this record is of his ownership, or that of his father we do not know. Bartlet Anderson of York County was born in 1658 and his brother by record John Anderson of York County was born in 1664. This suggests that this elder Robert Anderson of the 1657 record was still alive at or near the time of the 1666 record.

By accepting this earlier Robert Anderson (b.1613) of York County as the father of the Robert Anderson, Sr. of New Kent we relax the burden on having Robert Anderson, Sr. of New Kent being born early enough (ca1636) to be the jurist and late enough to be a son of the immigrant Richard Anderson of 1635 (ca 1636) which in fact leaves only that year 1636 in which he could have been born and still be the source of these entries in the Virginia Records. Having this one man be the source of these records would make him older by another 5 years than anyone has claimed to date.

For this reason I contend as above that Robert Anderson, of York County, "the immigrant" was born in Great Britain in 1613 as found in Hottens Emigrants by John Camden Hotten. Robert Anderson, age 22, embarked in "Ann & Elizabeth" April 27, 1635 for Virginia. Robert Anderson settled in York County, Virginia and as appears in York County Wills & Deeds on 12/3/1657 Robert Andrewson at the age of 44 was a Juror. Robert Anderson had as his early primary residence properties at West Point near the junction of the Pamunkey, Mattaponi and York Rivers. The western lands in New Kent County he obained by 1666 near Totopotomey's Creek were speculative and in the interests of his growning sons. I attribute to him sons Robert, Bartlet and John from York and New Kent County records, but do not exclude the possible existence of others.

Notes for ? Bartelot:

Because of the use of the name Bartelot as a given name in this family, and the common practice in colonial times of naming a son with a given name the same as the surname of the mother consideration should be given that this woman was a Miss Bartelot.

Children of Robert Anderson and ? Bartelot are:

+ 2 i. Robert⁵ Anderson, Sr., born Abt. 1642 in York County, Virginia; died 1712 in New Kent County, Virginia.

3 ii. Bartelot Anderson, born 1658 in New Kent County, Virginia; died Bet. 1694 - 1704 in New Kent County, Virginia.

Notes for Bartelot Anderson:

Bartelot Anderson was born about 1658 along the York River in Colonial Virginia. His birth date derives from the followiing court entry.

York Co., Va. Deed Book for years 1694-1697

....Apr. 5, 1694, deposition of Bartlott Anderson in which he deposeth he is aged 36 years and his brother - John Anderson deposeth he is aged 30 years.

Because of the common use of the name Bartelot Anderson in the New Kent County family in the next hundred years it can be farly certain that Bartelot was the son of the founder of that family in Virginia.

I have not personnaly examined surviving New Kent County records. I have not as yet found any reference that indicates Bartelot had any family, however he did survive long enough to have fathered children and some of the children listed for his brother Robert may in fact belond to him. Examination should be made of early St. Peter's Parish Vestry records for reference to him.

+ 4 iii. John Anderson, born 1664 in New Kent County, Virginia; died Bef. 1706 in New Kent County, Virginia.

Notes for Robert Anderson, Sr.:

From the Virginia land patents

1666 Robert Anderson adjacent Moyses Davies at Tottopottomoyes Creek

1670 Robert Anderson adjacent John Fleming & Thomas Glass

The 1666 record is the first that we can soundly assigned to the family of Robert Anderson, Sr., either to himself or his father. Virginia land patents often identify the land by reference to nearby creeks and branches and whether they are above of below a river that is a branch of the Chesapeake Bay. In addition they list the adjacent landowners. These two records indicate that a Robert Anderson already owned land along Tottopottomoyes Creek before 1666. Totopotomey's Creek flows into the Pamunkey River from the south in the eastern part of what is now Hanover County Virginia.

George Chapman

04/22/1670 4150 acres New Kent County

Pamunkey Neck, etc. for the transport of Robert Anderson

This reference may be from Robert returning from a trip to England. There were many reasons for such a trip including the need to see to family affairs there and for education and merchantile affairs. At this time the many landowners frequently selected a member from among them to act as an agent, who returned to England in the spring season when such trips were considered safe from hurricanes and took with him papers and power of attorney from the other landowners that allowed him to represent their interests. He would then return their monies and report to them upon his return. Such trips were burdensome and such task was rotated among landowners.

In 1677 Robert Anderson signed the petition of grievances for Blisland Parish regarding Gov. Berkley. He was a vestry man of St. Peter's Parish, New Kent County on 11/1686; and for St. Paul's Parish from 1704-1712. However these records do not imply that he had ever moved, rather they reflect the reorganization of the parishes that were occuriing at the time as the Virginia frontier expanded St. Paul's Parish having been formed from the western reaches of St. Peter's Parish.

Robert Anderson

04/16/1683 727 acres New Kent County

Patent Book 7 page 272

N of Chickahominy Swamp in the head of Holly Bush Branch adj. Thomas Glass, to mouth of Meyry Branch. For the importation of 15 persons

This 727 patent became the "Goldmine" plantation. The Chickahominy River spilts the ground between the Pamunkey River and the James River flowing southeast and joining the James River in the eastern portion of Charles City County. I checked for Holly Bush Branch and Meyry Branch on a current Virginia map but did not find them listed. But these lands were in the area just north of current Mechanicsville, Virginia. According to Edward L. Anderson "Goldmines" is on the west side of Gold Mine Creek just north of Rockville, which is 20 miles northwest of Richmond on Highway 160.

1683 adj. Moses Davies at Chickahominy Maine Swamp

1703 adj. George Aalvis at Totapotomy's Creek

Robert Anderson Sr. appears in the Register of St. Peter's Parish New Kent County as follows:

25 Nov 1686 - Will Turner hath made a complaint to this vestry that his help being too weak in clearing of ye highways - ordered that the titables of Sam'l Wady, Thom. Glass, Will. Winston, Robert Anderson & Charles Fleming be added.

List of Lands to be processioned on the 4th of May 1689 - Sam'l Waddy, Mr. Boots, Rob't Thomson, Edw Bornett, John Talle, Richd Bollork, Sen, Richard Bollork, Jr, James Tate, Mr. Crawford, Andrew Davis, Edward Broxom, John Wall, William Winston, Jno Crawford, David Craford, Junr, Rob't Andrewson, Chas Fleming, Nicholas Mills, Dox Penix, Mr. Dabbony and others.

Robert Anderson's signature appears repeatedly in the St. Paul Parish vestry book from 1706-1712. He usually signs as Mr. Robert Anderson, Sr., but occasionally uses a large R symbol as a mark in his signature. William Pope Anderson believed that Robert had become so frail that he could only make his mark and his name was signed for him. His son signs as Robert Anderson, Jr. and there is another signator Captain Robert Anderson claimed but unconfirmed to be Robert Anderson, Jr. I beliee that this Captain Robert Anderson was none other than "Scotch" Robert Anderson a presbyterian from another family.

One of the jobs of the vestry of a colonial parish was to "precession" the lands of the neighborhood. By this I mean that the land owners who had common borders would get together once in a while (every 5 years or so) and the would walk or ride together around the common boundaries of their land to agree on the border and to remark it freshly so that the marks would not be lost with time. The vestry would meet and name a precinct of landowners whose land bordered on each other and select from among them 2 or 3 prominent men to conduct the precessioning and report to the vestry. Each landowner was required to attend or send a representative and any disagreement was recorded and reported by those in charge of the precessioning. The parish was divided into "precincts" each time it was done and becasue there were new landowners over the years the precincts are not always the same, but land that was held in one family is clearly indentifiable and allows one to trace the common precincts over time. Of course the major landowners had borders on all sides so it was possible to appear in more than one precinct if you were on the edge. You might precession your eastern border in one precinct and your western border in another.

Fortunately the St. Paul's parish vestry book survived from 1706 to the 1780's and there are precessionings in 1708 and 1711 and so on. Robert Anderson. Sr, and Robert Anderson Jr. and Richard, David, John, Matthew and Thomas Anderson all appear in the 1708 precincts list all of them near each other between Crumps Creek and Tottopotomies Creek and Mechumps Creek to the north of current Mechanicsville, Virginia.

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

Anderson, Robert New Kent County 700 acres

Anderson, Robert New Kent County 900 acres

Anderson, David New Kent County 300 acres

Anderson, John New Kent County 100 acres

Anderson, Richard New Kent County 200 acres

Robert Anderson's death in 1712 is recorded in the St. Paul parish vestry book when an entry is made that he is deceased and being replaced as church vestryman.

From the 1704 rent roll it appears likely that Robert, David, John and Richard were the oldest sons and that Matthew, Thomas were younger and had not established their own plantations as of 1704. William appears in the King William County rent roll when it is known that he had relocated. Notice also that there is an additional John Anderson in this list I suspect is his younger brother John who appears to have died about 1706 according to St. Paul's vestry book which opens with an entry about care for his children.

Robert Anderson likely had daughters as well, however no record of them has been discovered to date. The sources below list daughters for him and his son as Cecelia, Mary, Sarah and Charity; but this is clearly a confusion by those researchers with the names of the widows of his sons that appear in the St. Paul Parish vestry book.

Take caution, It is unproven that David, John, Richard, Matthew, William, and Thomas are sons of Robert Anderson, Sr. Indeed some may be sons of his brother Bartelot Anderson.

Commentary on Sources

William Pope Anderson in Anderson Family Records 1936, The Early Descendants of William Overton and Elizabeth Waters of Virginia, and Allied Families, 1938 and Anderson - Overton 1945 documents the descendants of Robert Anderson of New Kent County. His interest lies with the family of Robert Clough Anderson of some historical fame. Robert C. served with Washington's Army (infamous at the battle of Trenton) and had a son who commanded Fort Sumter at the outbreak of the Civil War. He was considerate enough to collect and document family trees on Anderson families other than Robert's and although his text is tedious to study it contains a wealth of genealogical information. A notation in the latter volume states that copies may be obtained from "Charitable Relief Association", 203 West Third Street, Cincinnati 2, Ohio. However that reference has clearly expired. Both the Virginia and Tennessee State Libraries have had these books, although not all three. The first and third are available from genealogical reprint book stores.

Edward L. Anderson wrote The Andersons of Goldmine, which is in the Library of Congress. It contains a family tree for the Robert Anderson family of New Kent. It was used as a source for some of WIlliam Pope Anderson's work and he quotes it where applicable. It is the best source for family traditions. However Edward tended to lump all the Andersons of Hanover in the third generation as sons of Robert Anderson, II when some of them likely belonged to his brothers. He also credited the widows of Robert's sons as daughters of the family.

Climbing the Family Tree by Bessie Lamar Anderson Calvert is an additional source for this family. It contains considerable detail, particularily regarding the female descendants of the family. However some of its data is questionable.

Notes for ?:

Cecelia Massie is the traditional name of his wife but to my knowledge it is unsupported by record. In fact, I suspect it is an error caused by the misinterpretation of the land records associated with the widow Cecelia Anderson wife of Matthew Anderson. Massie family researchers have been unable to connect her and alternative suggestions are solicited from researchers.

The son Matthew married a Cecelia Massie and the grandson Robert's wife's mother was a Cecelia Massie and therefore many Anderson family members correctly remember a Cecelia Massie as a great great grandmother, but I can find no supporting evidence that this woman was Cecelia Massie.

Patrick Anderson

_________________________

W.P. Anderson appeared convinced that Cecelia Massie was the wife of Robert Anderson . However this appears to be based only on family traditions as show by his note 4 on page 1 of his 2nd book as shown below:

"There evidently was a tradition that a Robert Anderson married Cecelia Massie, as It is also given on the chart of (v6go) Robert M. Anderson, dated 1902, and mentioned in a "Monograph of the Anderson, Clark, Marshall and McArthur Connection" by (vbgl)Gen. T.M.Anderson. They however have the date of Robert Anderson's death as 1719, which is wrong. There is a Cecilia Anderson appearing in the processioning of 1719, but she apparently was the widow of Matthew Anderson.

In "Ye Andersons of Virginia" published 1908 by (v697) Dr. Charles Anderson it says a Robert Anderson married Cecelia Massie and places him as the father of Robert III b. 1712.

There Is nothing in the records left by (v6g) Gen. Robert Anderson,(v6o), Gov. Charles Anderson, or (v6f) Mrs. Sarah Kendrick, mentioning a Robert Anderson having married Cecelia Massie, but Gen. Robt. Anderson said "The Massies are related to us in some way."

In a letter from (wqx59) Mrs.Alice M.Tyler (AFR28) to ELA dated Sept.24, 1912, she states, "I found the information about Robert Anderson being sent to Virginia by Juxon & Co. in old records at the State Library. The fact about the marriage of Cecilia Massey was given me by my great uncle David J.Anderson. I will test its proof..". Mrs. Tyler lived in Richmond, Va.,and addressed her letter to ELA "My dear Cousin..'' Mrs. Tyler's great uncle .(wqt) David Anderson (AFR35) owned the old family Bible, which was sent to England to prove his title to (wz) William Anderson's estate. The Bible was never returned."

Somewhere in some family book, I have seen it said that Robert Anderson married Cecelia Massie in London, England. But no reference was give for this and do not know if it is true. I have forgotten where I saw it. I have wanted to check this out, but so far have not. I done almost no research in England so do not at present know where to look.

There are three young girls bound out by the parish in the next two years which are likely his daughters underage at the time of his death. Born in 1664 he would not have married until 1685-1690 and his chidren would still have been minors at his death in 1705

It was common practice at the time for Virginia landholders to send their sons back to England to be educated. A return trip from England to Virginia earned you a headright regardless of whether you had been born in Virginia.

Robert Anderson, Jr. was a 1703 Vestryman of St. Peter's Parish, New Kent, and Justice of New Kent in 1714. From 1706 to 1716 Robert Anderson was a member of the vestry of St. Paul's parish and signed as Robert Anderson, Jr. Robert Anderson's death in 1716 is recorded in the St. Paul Parish vestry book. The 727 acres became the "Goldmine" Plantation named after a passing stream.

His sons were underage at the time of his death and his family has been reconstructed from the deeds of his wife and her sons and the precessioning records of St. Paul's parish.

Edward L. Anderson in his book "Andersons of Goldmine" assigned many children to him that to me appear to belong to his brothers.

William Pope Anderson believed that Elizabeth Dabney had married Mathew Anderson but I now think there is better evidence she married Nathaniel Anderson who lived near his mother Mary Overton Anderson. The Dabney family only knows that she married an Anderson.

Notes for Charles Anderson:

Charles Anderson was born about 1713 in New Kent County at the "Goldmine" plantation. HIs birth date is based on the fact that he first appears in the St. Paul Parish Vestry book in 1734 and in that same year his mother Mary Anderson deeds to him his portion of his father Robert's estate.

Can anyone explain the relationships among these parties to the chancery court case? Is it possible that the mother of Wm. Anderson, Nathaniel Anderson and John Anderson was a member of the Jones Family; and that Richard Banks, Charles Lambert, Hardin Burnley and Geo. Brackenridge were married to sisters, who were daughters of John and Elizabeth Jones?

St. Paul's Parish Vestry

1 Oct 1707 - Pursuant to an order of the court dated July 28, 1707, appointing Mr. David Anderson & Samuel Waddy to clear the Pamonkey River on the south side thereof from Piping Tree to Hardings Landing, formerly Youels, they applying themselves to this vestry for assistance with instruments or materials to comply with the order of the court. This vestry has thought that this parish is not able to comply with that order.

Piping Tree is along the Pamunkey River in the northeast corner of the bend that occurs just above the border between current New Kent County and Hanover County. It is downstream from Totoppotomeys Creek. This bend sticks into KIng WIlliam County and suggests the reason so many records of this family reference a residence of King WIlliam County.

The St. Paul's parish vestry book survived from 1706 to the 1780's and there are precessionings in 1708 and 1711 and so on. Robert Anderson. Sr, and Robert Anderson Jr. and Richard, David, John, Matthew and Thomas Anderson all appear in the 1708 precincts list all of them near each other between Crumps Creek and Tottopotomies Creek and Mechumps Creek to the north of current Mechanicsville, Virginia

/Thomas Swann

Susannah Swann

__________________________

Susanna Swann, who later married David Anderson, was Cornelius Dabney's second wife. His first wife, Edith ---, was the mother of at least four children: George, (ca.1670 - Oct.1729); Dorothy; Sarah; and James. Cornelius Dabney and Susanna Swann had at least two children: Cornelius Jr.,(1686 -1764\65), who md, (1721), Sarah Jennings; and Mary, (Jan.22,1688 - sep 7,1748), who married Thomas Carr. Ruth ------, who married, (ca.1714), James Trice, was a daughter of Susanna Swann was a daughter of Susanna Swann. But there's some disagreement as to who her father may have been: Cornelius Dabney, (ca.1640-1693), or David Anderson. I tend to suspect she was David Anderson's daughter, based on later dates for her descendants, but this could be wrong.

____________________________

Other research in Hanover Co. Wills rerecorded in 1868 (on motion of Wm Winston Dabney) show that Dorothy and James Trice were married as early as 1722 because they are mentioned in the will of Susanah Anderson of St Paul's Parish, Hanover Co. dated 4 March 1722. She devises "to grandson William Anderson" a young Negro which she lends to grandson's "father in law" [probably meaning stepfather] James Trice for benefit/education of sd William. Bequests to children: to son, Cornelius DabneyŠ to daughter Dorothy Trice wife of James Trice Š to daughter Mary Carr wife of Capt. Thomas Carr Š to son David Anderson. [Source: Will Book 1 p632.] That tells me that Dorothy Dabney Anderson and James Trice married as early as 4 March 1722 and Dorothy's son William was alive that date.

Children of Thomas COTTRELL and Susannah PATTISON are: 4 i. Thomas COTTRELL was born 1737 in Henrico County, Virginia, and died 1828 in Wilkes County, North Carolina.

5 ii. Gilbert COTTRELL was born 1739 in Henrico County, Virginia.

6 iii. William COTTRELL was born 1741 in Henrico County, Virginia.

7 iv. John COTTRELL was born 1743 in Henrico County, Virginia.

+ 8 v. James COTTRELL was born 14 Oct 1748 in Amherst Co, Virginia, and died 1841/1843 in Pike Co, Ohio.

Child of Mary Anderson and Richard Cottrell is:

24 i. Thomas⁷ Cottrell, born Abt. 1690 in New Kent County, Virginia.

8. Richard⁶ Anderson (Robert⁵, Robert⁴, Richard³, "York Watershed"², "Colonial Virginia"¹) (Source: (1) William Pope Anderson, Anderson Family Records, (W. F. Schaeffer & Co., Cincinnati, Ohio; 1936)., (2) William Pope Anderson, Anderson - Overton, A Continuation of Anderson Family Records (1936) & Early Descendants of William Overton & Elizabeth Waters of Virginia & Allied Fa, (Cincinnati, Ohio; 1945.)., (3) 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).) was born Abt. 1673 in New Kent County, Virginia, and died Bet. 1723 - 1731 in Hanover County, Virginia. He married Charity Pouncey (Source: 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).), daughter of Anthony Pouncey. She was born Abt. 1680 in New Kent County, Virginia, and died Aft. 1756 in Hanover County, Virginia.

Notes for Richard Anderson:

Richard's existence is derived from St. Paul parish precessioning records and the 1704 rent roll. He is identified in the St, Paul's parish vestry book as responsible for the cures of two different individuals so I am assuming he was considered a doctor.

Curiously I have found no patents or deeds for him but he is listed as a land holder in the precessioning records. He survived for a significant period in the St. Paul Parish precessioning records and it is possible that he had purchased a plantation and never moved from it. He is superceded in those records by his widow Charity Anderson. It is possible that his widow is the Charity Anderson listed as a daughter of Robert Anderson by Edward L. Anderson and others. He lived in a precinct defined separate from his bothers but within one plantation of his brother Matthew.

Charity supercedes Richard in the St. Paul's parish precessioning rolls. It is likely that she was Charity Pouncey. In the 1731 precessioning roll she is co-resident in the precinct with Anthony Pouncey.

He married Elizabeth Holland; born Abt. 1705; died Bef. 1796 in Louisa County, Virginia.

Notes for Pouncey Anderson:

Pouncey Anderson was believed by William Pope Anderson to be a grandson of Robert Anderson I, but no researcher to date has been able to prove from which son. Of the six candidate fathers of the second generation, Robert, John, Matthew, Thomas, Richard and David we actually only know the children of Thomas from his 1757 will in Albemarle. Other evidence from deeds suggests the children of Robert, John, Matthew and David and therefore I have assigned Pouncey to Richard because Pouncey named a son Richard. In addition the Holland family and Pouncey family precessioned land in 1731 and 1739 in St. Paul's parish adjacent Richard Anderson, whom I believe to be the son of Richard Anderson senior. An examination of the widow of Richard Anderson, Charity Anderson, implies she was a Pouncey, in 1731 St. Paul's parish vestry book precessioning records she is listed in a small precinct wtih Anthony Pouncey. Charity was a common Christian family name for the Pounceys, used in Virginia and South Carolina

Notes for John Anderson:

There is a write up of John Anderson's family in The Early Descendants of William Overton and Elizabeth Waters of Virginia, and Allied Families, by William Pope Anderson, 1938. The information therein is thin and no supporting data is presented but the information has been incorporated in my notes.

John's connection to Robert is through the precessioning records of St. Paul's Parish, Hanover County, where he is superceded by his widow Sarah. The St. Paul's parish vestry book survived from 1706 to the 1780's and there are precessionings in 1708 and 1711 and so on. Robert Anderson. Sr, and Robert Anderson Jr. and Richard, David, John, Matthew and Thomas Anderson all appear in the 1708 precincts list all of them near each other between Crumps Creek and Tottopotomies Creek and Mechumps Creek to the north of current Mechanicsville, Virginia

Pat,

Just had the privelege of looking at you excellent website: Everett Anderson Memorial Collection, and want to thank you and share information on my ancestor, John Anderson, c.1670-1730, who died in Louisa Co, and who you list as child #7 of Robert Anderson and Cecelia Massie.

My own lineage, in brief, goes:

1 John Anderson=Sarah Waddy

2 Maj. Nelson Anderson (c.1714-1786-Hanover Co)=unknown wife

3 Elizabeth Anderson=Waddy Thomson, Sr

4 Anderson Thomson=(1st cousin) Ann Clopton Anderson

[SEE BELOW]

5 David Henry Thomson=Catherine Mary Goll

6 Nelson Anderson Thomson=Mary Lucinda Davies

[SEE BELOW]

2 Ann Anderson (1708-1802)=David Crawford III

3 David Crawford IV=Elizabeth Henderson

4 Elizabeth Crawford=Nicholas Clayton Davies

5 Mayo Davies=Lucinda Taliaferro

6 Benjamin Taliaferro Davies=Mary Frances Shirkey

7 Mary Lucinda Davies=Nelson Anderson Thomson [REDUNDANT]

8 Catherine Mary Thomson=James Luke Boyle

9 James Thomson Boyle=Barbara Jean Simpson

10 James David Boyle

2 William Anderson=unknown wife

3 Col. Nelson Anderson (1735-1819, Louisa Co)=Frances Jackson

4 Ann Clopton Anderson=Anderson Thomson [REDUNDANT]

5 etc

Thus, as far as our family can tell, we descend from 3 of the 8 children of John Anderson. I have a fairly good-sized descendancy of these people, and have collected about 800 or so descendants of Nicholas Clayton Davies.

My main concern is the parentage of John Anderson (your John4, Robert3, Richard 2, Richard1).

I would prefer to believe that he does in fact descend, as above, from Robert, as the genealogists in my family have believed for the past century; however, I have run into a lot of trouble trying to confirm it.

Robert Anderson I had a child named John, with little said about his descendants, but I couldn't tie him into my family. Maybe you will be

able to.

In W.P. Anderson's 3 books, the major note on John is in "Early desc. of Wm. Overton, etc", p.35, and he says that Robert I's son John was born too late to have been the husband of Sarah Waddy, but I can't find any marriage date for Robert I or that of his son John.

My John and his wife apear to be the ones who were deeded land on 28 Jan 1696 from Samuel Waddy, and John's widow conveyed these 80 acres to John Thom(p)son (7 Aug 1735--Virginia County Records, by Crozier, VII:67). In 1725 he received another grant of land in Hanover Co. My working hypothesis is that he came from Scotland, and came here either before or after his 1700 marriage. One source claimed that the Thomas Anderson of co.Northumberland who established a shipyard at Gloucester Point in the 17th century, was the ancestor of the family in Virginia, and they are apparently unrelated to the Robert Andersons of Goldmine.

If you have any further ideas on John, I would be grateful for them. If you would like me to send a printout or GEDCOM on anything I have, it would be a pleasure.

Thanks again for your great website.

Patrick, Thank you for your Anderson webpage - it is amazing. I am looking

for information on Elkanah Anderson whose daughter, Miss ? Anderson married

William Harrelson, son of Paul Harrelson and Patience Lewis. Elkanah and

Miss Anderson had a son named Elkanah Harrelson who married a cousin,

Elishebear Harrelson. Elkanah Harrelson died before June 1781 of war

wounds. Their son was Anderson Harrelson born about 1776 and died in

Hopkins County, Kentucky, in 1824. The Harrelsons were in the New Kent,

Virginia area, also. I had a note that Elkanah Anderson married a Sarah

Bradley, but the only record I have found to verify this is a deed listing

Elkanah's wife as Sarah. In your copious notes, if you have any more

information on Elkanah Anderson's family, I would appreciate hearing from

you. Again, thanks. Betty

10. Captain William⁶ Anderson (Robert⁵, Robert⁴, Richard³, "York Watershed"², "Colonial Virginia"¹) (Source: (1) C. G.

A. Brock, "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.

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:

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

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

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

Notes for Dabney 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.

Rubyann

________________________________

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?

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.

11. Matthew⁶ Anderson (Robert⁵, Robert⁴, Richard³, "York Watershed"², "Colonial Virginia"¹) (Source: (1) William Pope Anderson, Anderson Family Records, (W. F. Schaeffer & Co., Cincinnati, Ohio; 1936)., (2) William Pope Anderson, Anderson - Overton, A Continuation of Anderson Family Records (1936) & Early Descendants of William Overton & Elizabeth Waters of Virginia & Allied Fa, (Cincinnati, Ohio; 1945.)., (3) 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).) was born Abt. 1682 in New Kent County, Virginia, and died 1719 in Hanover County, Virginia. He married Cecilia Massie (Source: 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).) Abt. 1707. She was born Aft. 1685 in New Kent County, Virginia, and died Abt. 1743 in Louisa County, Virginia.

Notes for Matthew Anderson:

The birth date of Matthew has been corrected to reflect the fact that he does not appear in the 1704 rent roll and may differ from the one given by William Pope Anderson in Anderson - Overton, A Continuation of Anderson Family Records (1936) & Early Descendants of William Overton & Elizabeth Waters of Virginia & Allied Families, by William Pope Anderson, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1945. Matthew's existence is derived from a study of early precessioning records of St. Paul's Parish which associate him with Robert Anderson I.

Matthew married a Cecilia whose surname is unproven but appears to have been Massie. This is determined from the precessioning records. Follow-up researchers should be cautious that the occurence of Cecilia's name in the early parish records may have caused early researchers to both create a Cecilia as a sister and to give his father Robert a wife by the name of Cecilia. However from records that I have seen it is only clear that this one widow named Cecilia existed.

In 1708/09 Matthew acquired the lands of Capt. William Anderson. This suggests that Matthew was born before 1687. Matthew is last listed in Hanover land records in 1715/16 after which his widow Cecilia is listed in 1719 as land owner until 1743. Matthew therefore died between 1715 and 1719. More likely close to 1719 as in 1719 Gilbert Gibson was given a patent adjacent to Matthew and Thomas Anderson in New Kent County.

Matthew appears to have died young and likely only had a few children. There was a tendency to claim all the Andersons in the Hanover tax lists as belonging to Robert Anderson, Jr., a tradition started by Edward L. Anderson early in the 20th century.

Matthew died before his sons were of age and as a result we have no official record of their names. I have seen no will for him.

In 1735 James Anderson precesions for Cecelia's land and is therefore likely a son born before 1714. Edward L. Anderson listed this James as a son of Matthew's brother Robert. Because of Matthew's early date of death it seems more likely James was a son under age at his father's death. I have seen someone's penciled note in the Va. Sate Library implying that Bartelot Anderson was the son of Matthew. It is known by record that Bartelot had a brother Charles from land patents and and from a surviving 1747 letter.

The Bartelot/Matthew Association comes from

Goochland County Wills & Deeds 1736-1742, page 415

12/04/1740 Valentine Bostick of Hanover Co to John Woodson of Goochland Co

for 40 pounds 400a in St. James Parish, on north side of Appomattox River, granted by patent to John Bostick, dec'd 8 Sept. 1736 and by said said John sold to Valentine Bostick; bounded by William Bostick late of Goochland Co., John Cahfin, Edmund Hodges, Willaim Arnold; with all houses. WIt: Nowel Burton, Matthew Anderson, Bartelot Anderson

If Bartelot was a son of Matthew then it is sure that Matthew also had a son Charles. Matthew the elder had died by 1719 and the Matthew of the above record would have to be a Matthew, Jr. In 1755 Bartelot acts as the executor for Matthew Anderson, Jr.

Notes for Cecilia Massie:

The widow Cicilia Anderson is prominent in the precessioning records of St. Paul's parish.

Cicilia Anderson, widow

1724 adj. John Stanley, David Crawford

N New Found River, adj. William Rice, granted to Cecelia Anderson, widow 11/13/1721 on condition of seating

1727 adj. Charles Chiswell

Cicilia's association with the Massie family suggests that she was the Cecilia Massie of tradition in the Anderson family. Unfortunately previous researchers have variously claimed her to be a daughter of Robert, 1st, 2nd and/or his wife. I have only been able to find evidence that his one Cecilia, widow, was a member of the family.

David Anderson of Albemarle resided on the 1721 patent of Cecelia Anderson, widow and I am using this letter as my proof that he was her youngest son.

Children of Matthew Anderson and Cecilia Massie are:

He married Frances ? Bef. 1730; died November 15, 1768.

I have had this abstract of a court case for many years and do not remember where I found it. Have you seen it ? Just what does it mean ? The dates at the end appear to me to be the dates it was published in a newspaper.

I think that the John Goodwin with wife Mary mentioned above is the same as John Goodwin, Jr, who owned the bible.

John Goodwin Jr. had at least two daughters:

Frances Goodwin b cir 1748 m John Meaux or Meux of New Kent Co., Va. & Mary Goodwin who probably married a Horsley.

AH! but they must not have had that newspaper article & the 1747 bible

This is my THEORY

Matthew Anderson had a wife Frances who m 2nd Rich Dobson

She is the Frances Dobson who died 15 Nov 1768

Anderson Children:

Mathew Anderson - adult in 1755 (born before 1734)

Mary Anderson b 1730 or earlier m John Goodwin -married before 1747

Frances Goodwin born before 1748 m 23 Feb 1764 (bible in her family)

Mary Goodwin

John & Lucy Anderson - born after 1735 ("infants in 1855)

John Goodwin died 28 Oct 1762

Either Mary ( the widow Goodwin) or Mary (the daughter Goodwin) m __ Horsley & is

the Mary Horsley who d 10 May 1773.

Also a John Anderson died 2 Dec 1760.

47 ii. Bartelot Anderson (Source: William Pope Anderson, Anderson - Overton, A Continuation of Anderson Family Records (1936) & Early Descendants of William Overton & Elizabeth Waters of Virginia & Allied Fa, (Cincinnati, Ohio; 1945.).), born Abt. 1710 in New Kent County, Virginia; died 1761 in Hanover County, Virginia. He married Mary Cosby Abt. 1740; born Abt. 1715 in New Kent County, Virginia; died in Hanover County, Virginia.

Notes for Bartelot Anderson:

1734 Mary Dowell appts as her attorney Bartlet Anderson to acknowledge to Samuel Dalton her dower right to 400a sold by husband John Dowell. St. Paul Parish Vestry book

Edward L. Anderson early in the 20th century placed Bartelot Anderson as the son of Robert Anderson, Jr. In the 1980's I had seen someone's penciled note in the Va. Sate Library implying that Bartelot was the son of Matthew (Robert's brother). It is known by record that Bartelot had a brother Charles from land patents and records in Prince Edward County and from a surviving 1747 letter. If this is the case then Charles Anderson the brother of Robert Anderson, III and Charles Anderson the brother of Bartelot need to be one and the same person. However an examination of Robert's brother Charles who lived on 335 acres near Totopotomys Creek in Hanover County and Charles Anderson who patented lands in Prince Edward County with Bartelot indicate that they are unlikely to be the same individual. Therefore I have concluded in 2003 that Bartelot is likely the son of Matthew Anderson as claimed by the unknown scribler.

My research shows that the Bartelot/Matthew Association comes from:

Goochland County Wills & Deeds 1736-1742, page 415

12/04/1740 Valentine Bostick of Hanover Co to John Woodson of Goochland Co

The earlier generation Matthew was dead before 1719. Matthew of this record was likely his son as he appears in the same precinct in St. Paul's Parish as his mother Cecilia. Bartelot witnesses the 1733 deeds from Mary Anderson nee Overton to her son John Anderson and Charles Anderson. Because he appears on many documents of the cousins I cannot yet confirm that Bartelot is a son of Matthew, but as he acts as the executor for Matthew Anderson, Jr. it seems likely. Bartelot Anderson was an early Virginia Lawyer. See his many advertisements regarding the settlement of estates in the "Virginia Gazette and General Advertiser" (the Williamsburg colonial newspaper).
