1.William1 Averiss.He married Lyddey Anderson, daughter of James Anderson and Mary Jordan.Notes for William Averiss:
The christian name of Lyddey's husband has not yet been confirmed.An examination of Surry County records reveals a John Averiss 6/26/1761 will naming son William Averiss and son Thomas Averiss, deceased.From a 1718 deed with James Anderson as witness we know that John Averiss' wife was Mary and he was a contemporary of Lyddey's father James Anderson.John Averiss was a neighbor to the North of James.

John Averiss' sons are the most likely candidates for Lyddey's husband. Thomas Averiss' 05/18/1751 estate settlement lists his wife Rebecca as executor.Thomas Averiss' son John Averiss eventually ends up with James Anderson's Arnols estate. Thus the most likely candidate for the husband of Lyddey is William Averiss.A William Averiss is listed in the 1810 and 1820 census of Surry County and remains to be examined.He is most probably the son of John Averiss and grandson of Thomas Averiss.

Surry County, Virginia, Wills, Estate Accounts and Inventories 1730-1800, by Lyndon H. Hart, III, Southern Historical Press, Inc., 1985.Notes for Lyddey Anderson:
Lyddey Anderson would have been born on her father's Surry County plantation called "Arnols".She does not appear in the genealogy of Grant J. Anderson (1909) and it would appear therefore that little contact existed between her and her brothers in Nottoway County.
