first of all, i am still waiting for another of the posts i posted to harris hunters last night to see if it were actually posted as i have not received confirmation that it was.     again, this post still involves these connections re memucan walker having witnessed our patrick cunningham/ ann harris' 1796 laurens co, sc will, along with sarah clary, and these relevant connections re my william harris, jr/ frances rodgers but, so far, this has not come through to me that this post has been posted.    i have more to say about these connections re the walker family and their involvment with the same families as our harris family, etc, both there in lunenburg co, va as well as on into laurens co, sc.    as i have also said in the past, these connections are themselves so multi-layered and involved that it is hard to convey just how multi-dimensional and involved all of this is.   although, i do want to still talk a little more about these walker, etc, connections both there in laurens co, sc and lunenburg co, va, and may also come back to talk about at some point,  i do have other relevant connections and things i also want to talk about.   as indicated, there are also these laurens co, sc deed wherein george anderson, wife, molly, sold to mariah goodman land that bordered on sylvanus walker and also that sylvanus walker, wife, sarah  and james burnside sold land to thomas wilkes and frances lester that bordered on mariah goodman, etc.   again, there is a lot re these connections and, as indicated, the land george anderson sold to mariah goodman was on north's creek, which, again, is where my william harris, sr/ frances goode and my william harris, jr/ frances rodgers obtained these ca 1770 adjacent laurens co, sc grants.   speaking of my rodgers family, this george anderson who sold this land to mariah goodman and this james burnside involved also with him are part of the family of my andrew rodgers, sr/ jane who died in 1755 in lunenburg, now charlotte co, va.   this george anderson/ molly saxon, who was his 3rd wife, per the info, was the son of james anderson/ margaret rodgers of wards fork/ creek in lunenburg, now charlotte co, va, who also moved to laurens co, sc ca 1770.    james anderson's wife, margaret, was the daughter of my andrew rodgers, sr/ jane and sister of my john rodgers, esq/ sr, father of my frances rodgers harris.   here is the 1755 lunenburg/ now charlotte co, va will for my andrew rodgers, sr:   425.
