Mary, thanks for your answer. It looks as if we both descend from Robert Anderson of Louisa, the only one I know of in Louisa - except that Robert in Hanover had patents and land that fell into Louisa after it was formed in 1742. By serendipity, yesterday after I wrote, someone sent me more of The History of Louisa County than I had previously seen. (Malcolm Harris, M.D.[Richmond: Dietz Press, 1936]). In his Appendix on pp. 283 and 283A he has 2 Robert Andersons living contemporaneously in Louisa. I find it very curious that both were Cols., justices, sheriffs and died the same year! There was only one Robert Anderson in Louisa at the time, other than mentioned above in deeds, and he was all those things plus a burgess. He was the son of David and an unknown wife and the grandson of David who married Susanna (Swann) Dabney. It sounds as if you don't think there were 2 living in Louisa either. Would you tell me from which of Robert and Frances'children you descend? You probably know if you come from Robt., John P., Susanna, Kitty or Ann, that David split Robert's 1000 acres into sevenths and deeded 6 of them to the above (28 Jun 1782)not too long before he died himself. Why Elizabeth and Frances did not get a share could only be because they were taken care of at marriage; the other sisters were unmarried. Thanks again, Mary. Bonnie
