My Anderson's start out in Orange Co., Virginia in 1798, I'm not sure where they were before this. In 1798 their is a will for a George Anderson of Orange Co.Va., recorded in Madison Co. Va.he names all of his children their is a George Jr. named in the will.Then George ,JR. has a son named Obediah Anderson, who marries Cathrine Conrad, their will is of Orange Co.Va., 1832, they have a son Obediah Anderson, who married Emaline Booton, found them on the Census in Madison Co.,Va. with children naming the child that I am trying to research. William H.Anderson, so he is in Madison Co.Va. still in1850 and 1860. In 1860 he is 11yrs.old. He was married the first time in 1875 to Betty Bryant. they had 3 children, Samuel Jackson, 1876, Hiram Angus, 1881, Bessie.The mother dies when the daughter is young, the sons by this time are old enough to be on their own, they come to W.V.The daughter is placed with some of the family to be raised. The father William H. Anderson remarries in 1890 to Virginia A.Smith, still in Virginia, the next time we find them is in Green Co. listed as the 6 children's birth place as Green Co.Virginia. The mother is dead in 1910 this is when I find again William and the children, they are by this time living in W.V. Raleigh Co. I have not ever found any records of any kind showing exactly where William and the children were living before coming to West Virginia. I have not found either wife on census , birth records, land records, wills, newspapers, no records at funeral homes, only their graves and their sons by their first marriage buried them their, a family cemetery. None of the children are living to tell us anything about them. I am trying to find out something about William's second wife. I believe this woman came from a good family in Virginia around the area of Madison , Orange, Green,Nelson,Culpeper, in one of these Co.'s they lived together from 1890 to 1905. I had word of mouth that they lived in Wolf Town, Standersville area. If anyone out their has any records of this area could you look up , these 2 marriages for me. William and Betty Bryant 1875, William and Virginia A.Smith 1890 to 1992. Thanks Sarah skincaid@cwv.net
