Hello Jim, Thank you for all your hard work ! I have a couple of notes that MIGHT prove useful. William & Polly's daughter Jane who married George Burkett in 1821, had a daughter ( according to Claire's research) named Mary Burkett. Mary married Philip Alder. I found a reference to a marriage in Loudon Co. VA 8/15/1848 for a William Silcott Alder to a Mary Burkett. Later in Tazewell Co. Alana found a deed from William Alder to Joshua Spence, if I'm not mistaken as I can't find the note at this moment. So, MAYBE Loudon County may have some connection. If John and Jane Anderson settled in Augusta Co. VA in 1738 through the Patton group, they MAY have arrived in about 1731 and served a 7 year indenture for their passage,(possibly in the Loudon Co. area ). Immigration records around that date could give a clue. Later, Carolyn
