Story of William Anderson
by Janet Anderson
Cumberland Co., VA & It’
s People – pgs. 65 or 66.
My third Great Grandfather, Thomas Anderson, left Cumberland County in
1806 and headed west. He traveled with two brother, Garland and Joel.
The three Anderson boys had been born and raised in Cumberland, VA. They
left behind several brothers and sisters and their mother Catherine Shirley
Anderson. Their father, William Anderson, had died in Cumberland, VA in 1795.
William had been a tailor by trade and lived on land in Cumberland, VA he had
inherited from his father James Anderson. Beside William lived his two brother
Lawrence and George and their families. Also, living in Cumberland were three
other brothers of William – Richard, John and Jesse.
When it came time for William to marry, he picked a girl from Spotsylvania
County, VA. Catherine was the daughter of John and Elizabeth Shirley and was
probably one of the oldest children of her parents. She and William were married
about 1770.
William and Catherine, by family tradition, had fourteen children; however,
records have been found for only eleven:
Elizabeth, who married John “Jacky”Tally and had many descendants,
lived for many years in Cumberland, VA.
John married Frances Anderson, his first cousin, and had many descendants.
Joel, Thomas and Garland moved to middle Tennessee. Thomas and Garland
married sister, Judith and Sarah Robinson, daughters of Edward and Anna
Meador Robinson of Cumberland, VA who moved with their daughters and sonsin-laws to Tennessee.
William was a tailor as was his father. He married and lived in Cartersville,
Cumberland County, VA, until his death about 1822. He had one son and three
daughters.
Sarah married Gross Robinson in 1809 and lived in Cumberland, VA until her
husband’
s death. Gross Robinson fell from the courthouse in Richmond, VA,
while he was helping to build it and died. Then she and her many children
moved to middle Tennessee near her brothers.
Caleb married his first cousin Rebecca Anderson and lived in Cumberland, VA.
He had no children and died in Cumberland, VA in 1847.
Frances married James Lee Meador and had children. * See Chapter 13.
Shirley married twice, first to his cousin Elizabeth Anderson and then to Mary
Oslin. He had one son, Willis, whose descendants still live in Cumberland,VA.
James died as a young man in CaIra, Cumberland, VA. He too was a tailor, and
when he died he had no wife or children.
Children also recorded for William and Catherine for which no records have been
found are Paul, Nancy, and Patsey.
The Anderson brothers produced a bountiful clan in the early years of
Cumberland County. William, George, and Lawrence lived on Soke Arse Creek,
which was later renamed Bonbrook Creek. Richard lived near by and John and
Jesse lived lower in the county near the present Brown's Church. Their children
married into many of the families of Cumberland including Meador’
s, Robinson’
s,
Talley’
s, Oslin’
s, Osborne’
s, Jenkin’
s, Blanton’
s and Trent’
s.
