There is a write up of John Anderson’s family in The Early Descendants of William Overton and Elizabeth Waters of Virginia, and Allied Families, by William Pope Anderson, 1938. Unfortunately I do not have my own copy of this yet so I have not been able to abstract the information to date. John’s connection to Robert is through the precessioning records of St. Paul’s Parish, Hanover County, where he is superceded by his widow Sarah.

Notice that this dual entry indicate that there were two John Andersons in New Kent County at this early date. One would have been the son of Robert Anderson. There is still an open question as to whether the son of Robert Anderson I is the John Anderson that married Sarah Waddy.

Pat,

Just had the privelege of looking at you excellent website: Everett Anderson Memorial Collection, and want to thank you and share information on my ancestor, John Anderson, c.1670-1730, who died in Louisa Co, and who you list as child #7 of Robert Anderson and Cecelia Massie.

My own lineage, in brief, goes:
1 John Anderson=Sarah Waddy
2 Maj. Nelson Anderson (c.1714-1786-Hanover Co)=unknown wife
3 Elizabeth Anderson=Waddy Thomson, Sr
4 Anderson Thomson=(1st cousin) Ann Clopton Anderson
[SEE BELOW]
5 David Henry Thomson=Catherine Mary Goll
6 Nelson Anderson Thomson=Mary Lucinda Davies
[SEE BELOW]
2 Ann Anderson (1708-1802)=David Crawford III
3 David Crawford IV=Elizabeth Henderson
4 Elizabeth Crawford=Nicholas Clayton Davies
5 Mayo Davies=Lucinda Taliaferro
6 Benjamin Taliaferro Davies=Mary Frances Shirkey
7 Mary Lucinda Davies=Nelson Anderson Thomson [REDUNDANT]
8 Catherine Mary Thomson=James Luke Boyle
9 James Thomson Boyle=Barbara Jean Simpson
10 James David Boyle
2 William Anderson=unknown wife
3 Col. Nelson Anderson (1735-1819, Louisa Co)=Frances Jackson
4 Ann Clopton Anderson=Anderson Thomson [REDUNDANT]
5 etc

Thus, as far as our family can tell, we descend from 3 of the 8 children of John Anderson. I have a fairly good-sized descendancy of these people, and have collected about 800 or so descendants of Nicholas Clayton Davies.

My main concern is the parentage of John Anderson (your John4, Robert3, Richard 2, Richard1).

I would prefer to believe that he does in fact descend, as above, from Robert, as the genealogists in my family have believed for the past century; however, I have run into a lot of trouble trying to confirm it.

Robert Anderson I had a child named John, with little said about his descendants, but I couldn't tie him into my family. Maybe you will be able to.

In W.P. Anderson’s 3 books, the major note on John is in "Early desc. of Wm. Overton, etc", p.35, and he says that Robert I’s son John was born too late to have been the husband of Sarah Waddy, but I can't find any marriage date for Robert I or that of his son John.

My John and his wife apear to be the ones who were deeded land on 28 Jan 1696 from Samuel Waddy, and John’s widow conveyed these 80 acres to John Thom(p)son (7 Aug 1735--Virginia County Records, by Crozier, VII:67). In 1725 he received another grant of land in Hanover Co. My working hypothesis is that he came from Scotland, and came here either before or after his 1700 marriage. One source claimed that the Thomas Anderson of co.Northumberland who established a shipyard at Gloucester Point in the 17th century, was the ancestor of the family in Virginia, and they are apparently unrelated to the Robert Andersons of Goldmine.

If you have any further ideas on John, I would be grateful for them. If you would like me to send a printout or GEDCOM on anything I have, it would be a pleasure.

Thanks again for your great website.
