Hi Pam, My name is Patricia "Patty" Bruner. My Grandfather was Luther Brooks Anderson "Ike". To my knowledge he was from Hawkins County Tennessee. My Mother was born in Stonega, Virginia. Her name was Agnes Bureeda Anderson. Ike married Minnie Ann Franks. I believe that she was born in Virginia. My Grandfathers dad was Isaac Anderson married to Laura Bare. He later moved to Kentucky and I believe that he married a woman and had many more children (not sure). Do any of these names look familiar to you. I welcome any information that you might want to share with me.

Descendants of Richard Anderson Generation No. 1 1.&nbsp; Reverend Richard4 Anderson&nbsp; (Richard3, "York Watershed"2, "Colonial Virginia"1) was born 1618 in Great Britain, and died Aft. 1657 in Gloucester County, Virginia.&nbsp; He married ?.&nbsp; She was born Abt. 1620, and died Aft. 1645 in Gloucester County, Virginia. Notes for Reverend Richard Anderson: Richard Anderson embarked for Virginia aboard the ship "Transport" in July 1635. The ships manifest says he was 17 therefore he was born in 1618. However Richard Anderson, age 30, embarked for Virginia in the "Truelove de London" in 1635. and&nbsp; there is no confident way of proving which is this man. York County Will &amp; Deed Books 1/25/1646/7 Richard Anderson, Clerk mentioned in York County. 2/18/1647/8 Richard Anderson witnesses the will of Nicholas Dale and proves same in court. The identification of Richard as a Clerk means that he was what we now call a minister.&nbsp; The church in Colonial Virginia was under the authority, but hardly supervision or control, of the Bishop of London, Church of England.& nbsp; As minister he would have been considered a sober young man and of good quality to be a witness to wills. York County at this time included both the south and north banks of the York River. Nicholas Dale had settled North of the York River in 1638 with Ann his wife near Allens Creek. Reverend Richard Anderson's residence was therefore along the north bank of the York River at Gloucester Point across from current Yorktown, Virginia. This is the same location as the alleged brothers John and Thomas settled. In 1651 the north bank of the York River was taken from York County and formed into Gloucester County. Va Patents Richard Anderson 1654 imported to James City County East of Chickahominy River One was eligible for a headright upon arriving in Virginia if you were above 10 years of age.&nbsp; The headright qualified you for receipt of 50 acres of land granted by the governor of the Colony of Virginia acting for the King. Headrights were negotiable and it is possible that Richard sold or transfered the headright he had never claimed in 1635; or as was common at the time Virginia gentlemen made one or two trips back to England on merchantile or family affairs and earned an additional headright upon their return to Virginia. York County Will &amp; Deed Books 10/26/1657 Mr. Richard Anderson listed in Estate settlement of Henry Lee His continued identification as Mister implies that he was still a Cleric. Henry Lee had arrived in York County in 1649. Despite the claims of descent from Richard Anderson, no one has written much about Reverend Richard Anderson. Although some of the New Kent Robert Anderson family suggests that they are descended from this man I have found no record of his descendants.&nbsp; He is, by circumstance found in residual Gloucester County records, likely the father of the Richard Anderson and William Anderson who appear in the 1660-1690's in Gloucester, New Kent and King &amp; Queen Counties sequentialy formed northwest of the York River.&nbsp; It is possible that the Richard and William Anderson of that region are sons of this man but it is unproven.&nbsp; All or any one of them may be sons of his alleged brothers or have independently immigrated.

Children of Richard Anderson and ? are: 2 i.

Notes for William Anderson, Sr.: The Anderson families of the York River Basin have been written about by William Pope Anderson in the 1930's who was generally more careful about what he claimed than other writers.&nbsp; However he made no reference to this William Anderson.&nbsp; From Virginia records and Some of W.P. Andersons notes it is obvious that there were coincident families with Robert Anderson headed by Richard and William and they all moved into the area that broke up into New Kent, King William &amp; King &amp; Queen Counties moving upstream from Gloucester County along the north bank of the York River.&nbsp; William moves up the Poroptank River along the Rappahanock Road and the fact that I cannot attach any of the Hanover, King William or King &amp; Queen County Andersons to him suggests that he continued north, rather than west and his family is to be found on the south bank of the Rappahanock River.&nbsp; There is a William Anderson, likely to be his son in the Christ Church Parish register of Middlesex County, Virginia and Caroline County records of the 1700's reveal the presence of William Andersons that may descend from this man.&nbsp; from the Virginia Patent Books 1663 William Anderson was a head right of William Jones to New Kent County William Anderson 12/10/1668&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;& nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 437 acres&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;& nbsp;&nbsp; New Kent County Virginia Patents Book 6/Page 213 Stratton Major Parish, branches of Poropotanke, N of plantation of John Fox, to S of Rappahanock Road. 64 bought of Thomas Hanks remainder for import of 8 persons.

Richard Anderson, Sr. (Source: William Pope Anderson, Anderson Family Records,&nbsp; (W. F.

Notes for Richard Anderson, Sr.: The Anderson families of the York River Basin were written about by William Pope Anderson who was generally more careful about what he claimed than other writers.&nbsp; From Virginia records and Some of W.P. Andersons notes it is obvious that there were coincident families with Robert headed by Richard and William and they all moved into the area that broke up into New Kent, King William &amp; King &amp; Queen Counties.&nbsp; It is my speculation that this Richard Anderson was a son of Reverend Richard Anderson of Gloucester Point.&nbsp; William Pope Anderson inserted the family tree in his book without comment on what the association might be. Refer to "Anderson Family Records" by William Pope Anderson, Cincinnatti, Ohio, 1936. Although this book is primarily about Robert Anderson of New Kent, see the data in the back of the book about the Richard Anderson family of King &amp; Queen County. Edward L. Anderson believed the King &amp; Queen County Richard Anderson to be the son of Robert Anderson, Sr. but my examination of Virginia records and maps have clearly indicated that this is not so. Gloucester County included the entire north bank of the York River in 1651 and had been formed from York County.&nbsp; While it is possible that this next patent was granted to the Reverend Richard Anderson, it is my experience that young men in Virginia with assets usually obtained their own patent upon reaching the age of 21.

Descendants of Robert Anderson Generation No. 1 1. Robert4 Anderson (Richard) 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 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. 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 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. It is likely that 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 mid 1600'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 in these sources are very speculative 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 opens the possibility 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 from 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. Totopotomey'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. (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).), born 1640 in York County, Virginia; died 1712 in New Kent County, Virginia. He married ? (Source: William Pope Anderson, Anderson Family Records, (W. F. Schaeffer & Co., Cincinnati, Ohio; 1936).) Abt. 1661; born Abt. 1640; died Aft. 1685 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 calaimed but unconfirmed to be Robert Anderson, Jr. 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, 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 Counnty 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. Bibliography "Ye Andersons of Virginia", pages 231-288, Volume 11, Old Northwest Geanealogical Quarterly, Columbus, Ohio, 1908 Historical Southern Families, Vol. XV, p. 201-202, Edited by Mrs John Bennett Boddie, P.O.

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. from Harry Anderson 3 ii.

Darlene and fellow listees, I thought i would follow Darlenes lead and introduce myself. I am Patrick Joseph Anderson. I have been doing genealogy since 1973 and I bought my first IBM-XT in 1983 and began putting genealogy info in it and believe it or not, I still have folders on my computer today that have piggy backed along puter to puter until I get a laugh out of opening some of the old files and my puter argues with me about what the file extensions should be and what program originated them? I have had several web sites going since 1998. Colonial Virginia ANDERSON Families is probably the one that most of you have found by now. I am the manager of 7 of these email lists including ANDERSON-L@rootsweb.com and was the manager of the defunct list that proceeded it at Indiana Univ. Being first to grab it I am the holder of the homepages.rootsweb.com/~anderson workspace for web stuff. I ain't dead yet - but since I have seen many many contacts I have made in the last decade pass away, I am always left wondering what happens to their research materials and notes and old web sites. Does anyone on the list know if somebody has started a repository where a person could instruct their survivors to ship all their "stuff" to? For instance I have a magazine holder box full of records associated with the Reynard Anderson family of South Side Virginia. This is not actually my family but it is the supporting documentation for the information I have posted on the web site above. I often look at it and think that it would be good if I could get it into the hands of someone who would care enough to want it, preserve it, and share it. I also have built the GEDCOM and Website of Colonial Virginia Anderson families that I would like to see preserved in such a fashion that some editor/contributor willing to want it, preserve it and share it could take control of it and continue to add to and correct the data therein. Periodically I think of trying to find someone who might want to replace me as manager of the ANDERSON list. I would welcome comments and advice about how to create the circumstances that these assets would pass into someones control that would want them, preserve them and continue to share them. Patrick J.

Hi all! My name is Della and I am researching the Anderson family in Whitley Co. Ky. They have close ties with the Hamblins, Hills, Monhollens, and Youngs also. In any case here is my line: Through DNA we have proved that we are directly related to the Revolutionary John Anderson but we still have no other proof of exactly how yet. I will start my line with what I do have proof of. Robert Anderson born abt. 1805-1807 married Kesiah (Kizzy) Sneed in Whitley Co. on Oct. 31, 1830. He disappears after that until he shows back up again in 1860 back in Whitley Co. with these two sons: Henry and Marshal. Henry Anderson/Rebecca ?

My name is Anne Anderson Turnbull. I am tracing the family of Larkin Anderson once wed to Elizabeth McGeHee and then Elizabeth Hines. He lived in Prince Edward Co. Virginia. His son Rowland Anderson is my direct relative. I suspect there was more than one Elizabeth McGeHee in the area and records of the two are confused. He had the following children by Elizabeth McGe Hee: John; Charles; Benjamin; Sallie; and Rowland. He had the following with Eliz Hines: Lauran Baltry; Nancy Johns (Anne); Eliza Catherine; William Washington. He was born in about 1772/73 and died in 1815 in Prince Edward County, Virginia. I have been actively seeking information for over 10 years. I love genealogy, this is my greatest area of interest.
My name is Pam Andes Hartman, and I'm not even sure I'm an Anderson descendent -- evidence points to the possibility! I've "played" with genealogy for decades, but have been at it seriously for about five years. I have a gggrandfather, Elbert, who is listed on the 1850 census for Washington County, TN, as "Elbert Anderson". He was born ca.1844, and was living with the John and Abigail Tankersley family. In later years he used the surnames Andrews, Anders, and Andes; family tradition, as well as records, indicate he was "bonded out" to the Tankersleys, possibly because his parent(s) were residing at the county poor farm. Does anyone have an Anderson line that might intersect with him? -----Original Message----- From: BCurtis532@aol.com [mailto:BCurtis532@aol.com] Sent: Friday, February 13, 2004 9:51 AM To: ANDERSON-KY-NC-TN-VA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [ANDERSON-KNTV] Introductions For the introductions, my name is Barb Anderson Curtis and I've been researching my family lines for about 12 years.

Hello! My name is Staci Anderson and I have been researching the Anderson family in HARDIN COUNTY, KY (early 1800s). I am a descendant of Josiah Anderson, his son John Anderson who married Anna WESTFALL in 1807 in Hardin County. They were from Virginia. I have evidence that they are from HAMPSHIRE County, W.VA, but no "proof". Evidence suggests that Josiah is the son of Captain Thomas Anderson, son of William Anderson of Anderson's Bottom, Hampshire County, WVA. Note that John and Anna Westfall had a rather historical figure for a son, named Jeremiah Goldsmith Anderson. He was one of the abolitionist raiders with John Brown on the attack against Harpers Ferry Virginia which helped ignite the civil war. Jeremiah's brother, Levi Anderson of Iowa is my direct relative. You can visit my website to see if any of these Anderson's connect to yours! http://freepages.family.rootsweb.com/~andersonvriese/ Good searching, Staci Anderso
Hello everyone, I would like to update everyone on the progress of updating the web site. I am about 50% through the site and hopefully will have all the changes made in a couple of weeks. If anyone would like to contribute information please let me know. I'd be happy to to post the information online. Even if its a tidbit of information we have a place for it so don't think that your tidbit of information isn't important because it certainly is. It could be the clue that someone is looking for! I have some new ideas for the list and the web site so hoping everyone is looking forward to working with each other, helping each other with Anderson genealogy and just having fun doing what we do. To get things rolling on the mail list I thought that introducing yourself to everyone would be a nice idea. We have 145 Anderson researchers on this list. Folks, that is a lot of people researching a surname. I'll go first and I hope that everyone will introduce yourself, tell us about yourself, your Anderson ancestors, how long you've been doing genealogy and anything else you think is appropriate for us to know. I am Darlene Anderson. I have been doing genealogy for 26 years. I have been creating genealogy web pages for 7 years. At one time or another, I have been involved with local genealogy societies and the Indiana Genealogical Society, webmaster for the Tennessee Local History Network and the Elkins Genealogy Data, self published genealogy books, and articles for county genealogical societies. My husband's Anderson lineage is Stephen Anderson and Sarah Perkins, Mauccoy L. Anderson and Joanna "Jemima" Johnston/Johnson, Orville Anderson and Sarah Eversole, Joseph Anderson and Susan Adams, Wathen Anderson and Reta Hazelwander, Jene Anderson and Darlene Burns. This family has migrated from Grayson County, VA to Hawkins County, TN to Perry County, KY to Breathitt County, KY to Laurel County, KY and to Indiana. I am looking forward to meeting each of you and please if you have any ideas, suggestions or comments please contact me. Thanks much, Darlene Anderson

Thank you Darlene! I would also like to thank everyone who helped me get the site as far as I did.Without all of you I couldn't have done it. I really enjoyed doing the web site,but I felt that it needed the touch of someone who has more experience at building web sites and in Genealogy Research. I have recieved many emails reporting on how the site has helped them find their missing links. I hope all of you will continue to help Darlene build this site into one that everyone will benefit from. Thanks to all.

Hello Everyone, The Anderson-KY-NC-TN-VA web site was created by Sandy a couple of year ago. She created the web site with the intention of helping other Anderson researchers by placing information online about the Anderson surname. This information came from researchers on this mail list. Needless to say, Sandy has done a wonderful job. Sandy has asked me take over the web site; and I agreed to do so. I plan to continue with Sandy's inspiration. Sandy ... thank you! Darlene Anderson

Hello, I have been doing some research on the Vardiman Anderson family. Vardiman was in Grayson County VA during the 1790s. His daughter, Mary, was born there in 1795. I think he may also have a son Robert born about 1793, not sure where but he dies in Adair Co KY. At some point, Vardiman moves to Pulaski County KY where he and a James Anderson (about the same age as Vardiman as far as I can tell) appear on the 1810 Pulaski census. Is James a brother to Vardiman?? Who are Vardiman's other children and who did he marry and where? What is his relationship, if any, to other Grayson County, VA Anderson's? I am also including the information that I have on Vardiman Anderson in this email. It isn't much information but if someone can shed some light on him I would appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks much, Darlene Anderson Descendants of Vardiman Anderson Generation No. 1 1. VARDIMAN1 ANDERSON was born Abt. 1766. He married NANCY.

It list ROBERT as having died Dec. 22 1858 at age 65. It states that he was born in the State of Virginia as that his parents were Vardman and Verney Anderson. This is not a comon given first name. I have hit a big brick wall. Could it be that Vardman Anderson's mothers maiden name was Vardeman an she passed it on to her son. There were people with this sirname living in Virginia in the 1700s. Have any of you doing research on the Vardeman name come across a marriage between a Anderson and a Vardeman. Thanks, Ruth. Children of VARDIMAN ANDERSON and NANCY are: 2. i. MARY2 ANDERSON, b.

One of the top stories in 2003 in this newsletter was the arrest of Elias Abodeely, a 23-year-old in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, who ran a string of pseudo genealogy sites. His arrest didn't seem to deter him: 2004 has started off with a rash of the same advertising. For those who missed it, let's briefly recap this scam. The sites involved included GenSeeker.com, GenSeekers.com, genealogydevelopments.com, familydiscovery.com, genealogyfinders.net, genlocator.com, genealogy-express.com, and probably many others. Abodeely would send out spam mail from one site, then collect money until the complaints mounted, and his site eventually would be shut down by the hosting service. A week or two later he would appear with a new name and a new site on a different hosting service conducting essentially the same business. To access his sites, the hapless buyer paid $40 to $60 (the exact amount varied from time to time). None of these sites contained any genealogy information; they simply had pointers to free sites where information could be found. In other words, the buyer paid $40 to $60 to access something that was already available free of charge. Abodeely eventually ran into lots of legal difficulties. On August 1, 2003, he was arrested in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on felony charges of first-degree theft, money laundering, and ongoing criminal activity. He was released later that day, and a court appearance on those charges still has not yet been scheduled. You can read about Abodeely's arrest in my newsletter at: http://www.eogn.com/archives/news0331.htm, in the Des Moines register at http://www.dmregister.com/news/stories/c4788998/21905604.html and at http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=elias+abodeely+arrested&btnG=Google+Search. His arrest did not slow Abodeely very much. A month later he appeared selling "self-renewing" genealogy CD-ROM disks under the name GenealogyTechs.com. That site actually was registered to Andrew Abodeely. I obtained one of these "self-renewing" genealogy CD-ROM disks and wrote about it in detail in the September 29, 2003 Plus Edition of this newsletter. GenealogyTechs.com was shut down the day after my article was published. Things have been quiet for the past three months, but on January 2, 2004, a number of newsletter readers reported receiving some fishy-looking spam mail messages. In fact, the messages appear to be word-for-word the same as the old ads for "self-renewing" genealogy CD-ROM disks sent earlier from GenealogyTechs.com - except that the new ads are coming from GenealogyTechs.net. That's right: the only difference is the previously shut down dot-COM is now replaced by a newly-registered dot-NET. A quick check of the WHOIS information shows that Genealogytechs.net is registered to the same address as GenealogyTechs.com: 1013 Agate Street, Suite B, San Diego, CA 92109, the business address of Andrew Abodeely. That is also the same address that ships the worthless "self-renewing" genealogy CD-ROM disks. In short, the Abodeelys seem to have reappeared after a three-month hiatus. Elias Abodeely's earlier arrest for felonies doesn't seem to have fazed either of the Abodeelys at all. At the time these words are being written, http://www.genealogytechs.net is up and running and looks almost identical to the previously shut down http://www.genealogytechs.com. It is also interesting to note that the new site is like the old one in several respects, especially in that it cannot handle credit cards. Instead, the buyer is suckered into paying by an "e-check" that extracts money directly from the buyer's checking account with no credit card involved. Beware! This is one method by which the earlier sites allegedly extracted money time and again from a buyer's checking accounts! Several buyers thought they paid once but, after examining their end-of-month checking account statements, found that they had been charged time and again without permission. That is one of the actions that led to Elias Abodeely's arrest. Why would a company not offer payment by credit card? That is extremely rare in the online world. The answer is simple: the owner's credit rating is so poor that he cannot obtain the merchant account required to be able to accept credit cards. In this case, he cannot even obtain a PayPal account, which is easy for mostpeople to obtain. No credit card service will give a merchant account to someone awaiting trial on charges of money laundering by using credit cards! Without access to a credit card merchant account, the Web site owner is forced to resort to online checks, a risky method for any buyer considering an online purchase. Remember that purchases made online with VISA, MasterCard or American Express are fully insured against fraud by the credit card companies. If you get "ripped off" by a shady merchant when using a credit card, the credit card companies will immediately refund all of your money and then will pursue resolution with the merchant. PayPal transactions are also fully insured in the same manner. However, if you pay by check, you have no such protection. That is true both for paper checks as well as for "e-checks." You receive only whatever insurance your local bank provides. Sadly, most banks provide no protection at all against fraudulent purchases made with a check or with a debit card. Send a check to a con artist? You lose. Any time you see a Web site offering something for sale and not accepting credit cards, ask yourself, "Why does this merchant not accept credit cards? Not even via PayPal?" Most of the time, it is because that merchant has severe financial problems. Then ask yourself if you really want to do business with such a merchant. If you receive a spam mail from GenealogyTechs.net or any similar-sounding scam, please forward it to the Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Police Department's Financial Crimes Division at k.washburn@cedar-rapids.org. I suspect they have an interest in the "business activities" of this person, who is awaiting a court appearance after being arrested by that department.
