It occurred to me after reading the rent rolls that someone on the list might have some connections to my family lines since the names of so many of my related families all seem to converge in the area, although over rather a long period of time. Peter Rambo from PA was George North's grandfather. George was born in PA but moved to WVA in 1790 and settled near Harper's Ferry. He married Eliza Keyes, daughter of Humphrey Keyes and Sarah Hall of Halltown. Their son Thomas Jefferson North married Elizabeth Henkle (Hinkle?). Their daughter Martha Henkle North married Robert Ferguson Anderson. When she died he married her sister Sarah Keyes North. One of their children was named Robert Ferguson Anderson. I have lots of information on all of these families (although I am always glad to get more!) except the Anderson. I noticed a James Anderson and a Robert Ferguson on the rent rolls. My Robert Ferguson Anderson was born in WVA in 1825. His father was David Anderson (who married Mary Hackley), son of John Anderson, a good friend of George North. I would bet anything that the James on the rent rolls is related to my Anderson line...also the Robert Ferguson listed. The Anderson and Hackley lines are my brick walls. I can bring them forward from Robert Ferguson Anderson but only have sketchy information on David and nothing on John..no dob, place or origin, other family, etc. David lived and worked in Hardy County as an adult before moving to Illinois where he died in 1860. Can anyone help? Susan
