My family, Sanders, is from Jounston County, NC with some from Edgecombe, NC. The Sanders owned a great deal of land in Johnston County to include Sanders Grove, the Sanders-Hairr house, now called White Oak Plantation among other things. I also have a book put together by a distant aunt that details many things related to the Sanders line and Johnston County. It is well cited and may be useful to you. I would be more than willing to share information. As for your Revolutionary War ancestor, you may want to check with the Daughters of the American Revolution. They would most likely have information about specifics of his service. My ancestor is Hardy Sanders of Johnston County, NC Hope some of that helps.
