I received this information from Al Metts in Texas.He has been searching for ancestors of Frances Anderson and John Hodges for years!!!I am quoting from his e-mail to me...
"JohnHodgesmarried MargaretLong in1786. They
had twochildren,Lucy Wardlaw (b.1787) and
Reuben B. (b.1790).After the death of Margaret,
John married Frances Anderson in late 1790.
Frances came from Virginiato Abbeville in May
1790 with herfamily.Her fatherlived tobe over
105years old.At that age he could walk thirteen
miles.Little was known about Frances until 1994.
In a separate study, the research is described where
it was learned that her parents wereWalter
Anderson and his wife Tabitha.Their children
were Samuel Anderson; Richard L. Anderson;
Walter Anderson,Jr.; SusannahWright; our
Frances Hodges; Tabitha Davis; Sarah Hodges; and

who cameto Americafrom Wales. He was a sailor
on a sloop on theRappahannock River in 1675.He
sailed up the river until he could go no further and
settled at the footof the Blue Ridge Mountains on
Carter'sCreek below Watney Mountain.Hedied
when Walter Anderson was a child.
Walter went to live withhis mother's brother,
William Browne.Walter married Ann Thornton and
had a son John, named after his father.Anndied
and he married Tabitha.They lived in Caroline
County, VA, until they moved to Abbeville, SC.

service.
