WILSON
John Wilson was a land-owner in Hanover, VA in 1733 (DB 1730-1750). Will Wilson witnessed
a deed in the same book. Is anyone researching the Wilsons of Hanover? Ann Mitchell Horne,

ANDERSON / SOUTHARD / SUDDUTH
Seeking any information on a John Anderson who is said to have been born in Hanover County
in 1740:
-moved to Wilkes County, GA 1783-1784; verifiable in county deeds
-wife's name verifiable in her Wilkes County will as Mary Southard Anderson; recently
Sudduth researchers have corroborated Southard as a variant of Sudduth and they verify
marriage between Mary and John in Stafford County, VA in 1770/71; her father identified as
James Sudduth who also came to Georgia
-wife's will identifies him as a Revolutionary War veteran (presumably in VA)
-county records verify he died in 1810 in Wilkes County
-their children identified in Wilkes County records as: Thomas b. 1772, John Rogers b.
1785 and daughters Elizabeth/Betsy, Catherine, Sally, Jean/Jane, Frances who married into
Davis, Jenkins, Lane, Heard, and Anthony families; some researchers have wanted to tack a
Rogers middle name on the father, but I cannot verify that
-one author suggested the Andersons came to Georgia in a group from Virginia led by a
Captain Anthony. The Anthonys and Andersons settled near each other in Wilkes County
-he is definitely NOT the Captain John Anderson who served in the Continental line; that
man's death has been verified in the mid-West. chasdsag@mindspring.com Charles Danforth Saggus 12/10/97
BARRETT / BREWER / HOLT / KING / PRICE / WHITE
John White d. Charlotte Co. 1782 is believed to be the John White Jr of St. Paul's Parish,
Hanover Co. and to be the son of Col. John White of the same parish. Col. John White and
wife Catherine (Barrett?) are known from a devise published in Louisa Co to have had
children Elisha, William, Edith Holt, Tillah King, Helena Holt, and Martha Brewer. Col.
John White is also believed to have had, probably by more than one wife, children John,
Barrett, Samuel, James, and Mary Price. I would like to correspond with descendants to try
to understand this family better and, if possible, trace them to the immigrant.

ROBERTSONS
I am looking for ROBERTSONS who came to the Stony Point area, Southwest Mountains, of what
is now Albemarle County. My earliest proven record is for a John Robertson who died in
July 1842. I have found him in the 1785 census in Fredricksville Parish. His son Archelaus
Jonathan Robertson moved to Hillsboro in the western part of Albemarle Co. in 1814. I have
good records after that.. I don't know when or how they got to Stony Point. Did they come
by way of Hanover County? I would appreciate any help available on this family. Frank P.

DRAKE / PRESTON / RUSSELL / SMITH / WADDY
I am trying to track down some elusive Smiths who were connected to Col. William Preston
and to the Waddy Family. My Waddy connection is Anthony Waddy and Sarah Drake who were
parents of Elizabeth Waddy. Elizabeth married Francis Smith and I believe they were the
parents of Susannah, Francis and Parke Smith. Susannah married the famous Col.
William Preston and Francis married W.P.'s sister Ann or Elizabeth Ann. These families
moved to KY and are connected to Thomas Hart Benton. According to a Henry Strother of Ft.
Smith, Arkansas, who had two entries in the William and Mary Quarterly in 1913 and 1914,
the Smith lineage begins with Dr. John Smith who m. Elizabeth Ballard. These were the
parents of the above Francis Smith and Elizabeth Waddy of Hanover County, VA. It is Parke,
whom I believe might well be my ancestor, who remains obscure. I found one deed reference
which said he had gone to KY and d. there. Parke or Park Smith was the parent of John
Smith, b.c. 1773 and d. Henry County, KY on December 8, 1855, and is b. near Jerico.
According to Henry Strother, John Smith m. Mary Storrs Russell, d/o John Russell, a Rev.
War officer. My g-g-grandfather was George Strather Smith, b. KY, migrated from MO and was
killed in the Bannock Indian War in 1878. I believe he is of this family, and would
appreciate any information. Thank you. cmac@oregontrail.net Carolyn M. McDaniel 10/15/97

HENDERSON / WALDEN
I am searching for more information on Pleasant Henderson b abt 1798 VA & d 1870/80
Campbell Co, TN. He was m to Jane Walden b abt 1800 & d 1870/80 Campbell Co, TN.
Pleasant was listed on the Roane Co, TN Tax List of 1816, 1817, 1818 & 1819. If I read
the tax list correctly, he owned 750 acres of land on Caney Creek in Roane Co, but I
haven't located the deed for him in the co. Pleasant doesn't appear after 1819. I believe
Pleasant, Jerry {Jeremiah}, & William listed in 1830 Anderson Co, TN & Jesse
Henderson 1830 Knox Co, TN were brothers. Listed in the 1840 Anderson Co, TN Census
Records: Mary, 2 Michaels, 1 of them I believe was suppose to be Pleasant, Jesse &
William. Jeremiah was listed in Knox Co. By 1850, Pleasant Henderson & family had
removed to Campbell Co, TN. Jesse and William served in the War of 1812. Also, in Roane
Co, TN, Richard Henderson, George Dougherty, Samuel Henderson, & Robert Burton. They
were listed as Heirs & Devisees of Richard Henderson, the Heirs & Devisees of
George Dougherty, Samuel Henderson, & Robert Burton. S#570 6-4-1812. I have reason to
believe the above Henderson's were b in Hanover or Halifax Co, VA.

COOKE / LORRAINE / RUFFIN
I'm searching for the "burial place" of Thomas Smith RUFFIN. He was born in 1843
and died 1873. His parents were Edmund Ruffin, Jr. and Mary Cooke Smith Ruffin. In 1867,
he married Alice Lorraine. Since several of the Ruffins lived in Hanover, perhaps Thomas
and Alice were also living in Hanover County and perhaps he was buried in this county? I
only have the year he died and am searching for where specifically he was buried.

one child listed for him and would like to know if he had any others. The son I have
