Thomas was born in Parton Cumberland so it could that your John was an Uncle of his or something like that. Most of the Anderson clan originate from the Isle of Skye and surrounding islands. Look for Robert Anderson during the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
