I have been looking over the published literature on Louisa county, Virginia colonial Virginia Andersons and it has become obvious to me that insufficient work has been done in the original county records by prior resarchers. There were more Andersons there than have been published to date. Two early families of Virginia , one headed by WIlliam Anderson and the other by Robert Anderson had children that ended up in Louisa County. To some degree the reason for no-one having assigned these children is probably due to confusion over the proper parentage. WIlliam to WIlliam to Pouncey is one line into Louisa Co. Robert to Robert to John is another line into Louisa Co. In looking through the Virginia Patents card index file I found the individuals below. Each of the patents is accompanied by a description of the location of each landowner. If any members of the mail list can associate their ancestor with any of the men in this list I would be very interested in receiving what notes they may have and I will attempt to build a profile of the Louisa Co Andersons. I will use that profile on my next visit to the Virginia archives to see if I can gather additional proofs to link these families. Thanks for anything you can contibute. ___________________________________ Louis Co Virginia Land Patents Souce: Virginia Land Office Patents and Grants http://198.17.62.51/collections/LO.html David 08/16/1756 Louisa Co 400a both sides of Lickinghole Creek 33/119 David,Jr. 11/30/1838 Louisa Co 76.5a west side of NE Creek Grants 90/226 John 04/10/1751 Louisa Co 385a bothside of Harris's Fork of Cub Creek adj George Dabney, Lancelot Armstrong etc patents 29/404 John 03/03/1760 Louisa Co 923a Machomp Creek bothsides Newfound Cork of Camp Creek patents 33/672 Nathan 03/07/1800 Louisa Co 28.25a bothsides Horsepen Branch grants 45/253 Robert 05/12/1749 Louisa Co 350a branches of Bunches & Great Creeks adj Francis Whittle etc patents 34/255 Robert 07/05/1774 Louisa Co 700a bothsides Gibsons & LIttle Creeks adj Stanley & Farncis Smithins Patents 42/549 William 07/14/1769 Louisa Co 360a bothsides south fork of Contrary Creek adj Thomas Grisham patents 38/698 Patrick J.
