Thanks to 'Tex' for the website. I have used it for years, before Patrick Anderson gave up the daily care of the website. I don't know the name of the person who is in charge now. I scanned the website but I couldn't find a name. However there is good info for those that are searching. Some mistakes, but then aren't we all familiar with those.? I have searched for years for some background on 4 Anderson males who settled in Grayson co, Va. John and Jacob, known brothers, b ca 1758 and 1756. place unknown. Peter Anderson b 1756, Bedford co, Va. James married Martha Nuckols, ( not thought to be related to the others) John, Jacob and Peter's descendants all test in the same group (Gp#4) on the Anderson FTDNA website, with the same haplogroup, with Nordic blood. So there is a connection somewhere. I don't profess to know a lot about DNA. Is anyone out there that has knowledge of any Andersons in Bedford co, Va around that time frame, I would like to hear from you. Maybe we can compile a list of those. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a Jacob Anderson of Bedford Co or at least of Bedford when he died, but I do not have his siblings. Actually, I should restate that. I have siblings for Jacob Anderson, but not a John. His father was George Anderson, as far as I know, born perhaps in Scotland, married a widow whom I believe was the widow Ann (Perhaps nee Hargrave) , widow of a Mr. Cofer, who appers in Alexandria, then died, leaving one son, Thomas Cofer- raised by George Anderson. the children I know of for George Anderson and wife, Ann(e)] were Joshua Sarah (my line) 1729-abt 1770 m Jeremiah Early Jacob (also my line) (1740/41-1827) m. Mary Calloway 1759 George (abt 1740-1788) m. Mary Read(e)/Reed Elizabeth m Nathan Underwood Martha "Patty" m Henry Dooley Anna m Mr Beasley Its quite possible there was a son, john, but if so, I don't have any information. ON the chance that perhaps he was a brother of Jacob or a 1/2 brother by another wife, I figured I"d toss it into the pool.....

Anybody researching the Clayborn (various spellings) of early Bedford County? There was a John Clayborn living in Beford County Va who applied for American Rev. War pension. I suspect this John Clayborn was kin to James Parker, wife Rhoda unknown, since one of their children was named Rhoda Clayborne Parker. What happened to the Bedford County Marriage Bond site on web?

Someone was looking for John Anderson, born in Bedford City in 1758. I don't think there was a Bedford City in 1758. This village was called Liberty and it was not founded until 1782 or so. It was renamed Bedford City, probably a hundred years after that. The original county seat of Bedford county was New London, leftover from old Lunenburg county. Liberty was named the county seat of Bedford after the formation of Campbell county, and it's new seat was Rustburg. Edwin

For example, one of my Bedford County ancestors, James N. Thomas, served in Fry's Battery of the Orange Light Artillery. Just a thought.
