You should visit the Chester Co site, and check out the lookup section......one is for wills, but I'll include, below, what I find for the names you give. (and, I'd really be interested in your documentation for "the laughing Scot", and the other personal things...if on line I'd like to read them....this sort of thing is always so interesting.)- The Andersons, as they eloped (and James may well not have been a Quaker anyway), would not have had the option to be Friends.....to marry within the Quaker faith, both parties must be Quakers and 'declared' okay for marriage by their meeting. An elopment would negate this possibility, and thus even if both were Quakers, they would have been disowned. They could, later, have petitioned their meeting to reconsider (after they met with other members and discussed the situation ) but, apparently the Andersons just chose to become Episcopalians. Here are 2 wills that will fit the bill, I think. Elizabeth's is in Chester Co, and the address for Records and Archives is located on the Chester site, under local resources....you may write there for a full copy. "Grandpa's" is from Philadelphia Co, and as such you must get it from them. Futhey and Cope has a long bio on Capt Patrick Anderson, b July 24, 1719, on a farm on the Pickering Creek, in what is now Schulykil twp, the first child of European parents born within the limits of the old twp of Charlestown. Patric was the son of James Anderson, the Scots emigrant, and Elizabeth Jerman, dau of Thomas a noted Quaker preacher and thrifty miller, who settled very early in the Chester Valley. Thomas Jerman established his mill at Tredyffrin, in 1710). (There is lots more on Patrick, but nothing more on his parents or siblings) Sandra JERMAN, ELIZABETH.

Grandchildren: Margaret, Elizabeth, Patrick, James, William, Thomas, George and Edward Anderson and Mary Walker. Son-in-law: James Anderson. Cousin: Sarah Walker. Trustees: Robert Jones and Thomas Thomas. Witnesses: Evan, Margaret, Robert Jr. and Rachel Jones. (I can find no will for James Anderson, or Elizabeth, in any of the local counties....at least none with the 'right' mate, children or the 'right' timeframe'. Unfortunately James Anderson is a VERY common area name, so there are a ton of them, PLUS a Rev. James Anderson, who comes into play as executor, etc in MANY wills.) Sandra " I am researching my husband's direct line of Anderson. His immigrant ancestor was James Anderson (I have also seen it James E. Anderson) who arrived in Chester County, PA in 1707.
