Her birth is recorded in the Albemarle Parish register of Sussex County to John Anderson and Mary. Neither will mentions any children. Careful listing of siblings implies that no children existed or they would likely have been listed. In her will, Martha May, names sister Caty Vaughan, sister Hannah Anderson, sisters Rebecca and Lucy Anderson, brother William Anderson, brother-in-law Peter Hawks, sister Polly B. Eckles, sister Sally Harp. She also states that her mother and father are still living and legates them a slave for their continuing care.

Armstead Anderson was born September 02, 1756 just west of current Blackstone in what was then Amelia County, Virginia and is now Nottoway County, Virginia. He died in 1843 near Boxville, Union County, Kentucky. The date of his birth is documented in his Revolutionary War Pension Claim. He attests that he was born in Amelia, County, Virginia on 09/02/1756 and that his record of birth is in his father's record. No name is given for his father. This date is also recorded in the bible of the Anderson family of Union County. Armstead was the son of John Anderson and Mary Bell, he was a middle child of 2 brothers and 9 sisters. His father was a carpenter/contract builder and helped develop the town of Black's and Whites, Virginia which was later renamed Blackstone. As a child he would have been familiar with the carpenters apprentices of his father which are reflected in the tax rolls of Amelia County and with the one slave Patt who belonged to his mother from his maternal grandmother's estate. His father was not a large landowner nor slave holder although his uncles were. As such was the case Armstead left home at an early age for the frontier of Virginia to seek his own fortune.

Kate Richards Anderson died June 14 - 1929 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The earliest record of Armstead Anderson's after he comes of age is from The History of Henry County, by Mrs. Hill, indicating that the name of Armstead Anderson appears upon a loyalty oath required by the new legislature. The original of this document was in the hands of the county clerk. They say it is no longer there, and is said to be in the Virginia State Archives although contact with them has not yet proved fruitful. The text of the Oath is given in Martinsville-Henry County; In Retrospect, prepared by the Martinsville- Henry County Women's Club, and follows:
'I do swear that I renounce and refuse all allegiance to George III, King of Great Britain, his heirs and successors, and that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to the Commonwealth of Virginia as a free and independent state and that I will not at anytime do, or cause to be done, anything injurious to the freedom and independence thereof as declared by Congress, and that I will discover and make known to some justice of the peace for the said state all treasons or traitorous conspiracies which I now or shall hereafter know to be formed against this of any of the United States of America.' ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Armstead filed a revolutionary pension claim in which he states that he joined with the Virginia Militia from Pittsylvania county under Capt. James Lyon. This would be in response to a call of militia in order to participate in the Cherokee Campaign of 1776. This campaign was officially directed from the Virginia Congress and is therefore accepted as military service in the American Revolution. The call had been directed in response to reports of British attempts to stir the Indians into active warfare against the western settlements of the Colonies. This campaign against the overhill Cherokees lasted a year and involved an extended overland trek as far west as what is now Knoxville, Tennessee. Armstead would have become knowledgeable of the Cumberland Gap and Tennessee Valley during this campaign. He served under the command of Capt James Lyon. No record of Capt Lyon's company has been found. Upon completing this campaign he joined the company of Joseph Martin (also of Pittsylvania county) in protecting the property of the Powell Valley settlers. Joseph Martin had just two years earlier attempted to start Martin's Station in the Powell Valley and had been driven out by hostile Indians. He had returned to Pittsylvania county and had been instrumental in the political campaigning to initiate the campaign against the Indians. He had left his associate John Redd in Powell Valley at Martin's station. Upon the arrival of the militia in the Holston Valley, John Redd became the sergeant major of Joseph Martin's company. Details of Martin's company actions in this campaign are available from the writings of John Redd and from the Draper Papers. Joseph Martin's orderly book from these campaigns is in the manuscript division of the Library of Congress. I provide some descriptions below to give the reader a sense for the 'action' of this campaign. [Source: The Gulf States Historical Magazine, Vol I, Sept 1902, page 141.] The opposing Indian forces were under the command of Chief Dragging Canoe. He retreated down the Tennessee rather than engage the 1,500 men under General Christian and subsequently established the Chickamaugua tribal settlement and continued in later years to oppose the white intrusion into Cherokee lands. As the Indians retreated before the militia several Indian villages were burned along the tributaries of the Tennessee River. Singled out was the village, which earlier that year, had burned a white captive alive. At one river crossing, believed to be the French Broad, the militia anticipating that the Indians would await the crossing and attack as they were in the water, Joseph Martin's company (30 men) was placed in the lead. Martin personally carried two of his ill militia across the river ford. Another 600 men were sent up river the evening before to ford the river and be prepared to attack the Indian positions. However the Indians had fled and the crossing was uneventful. As the crossing was made a tremendous uproar could be heard in a nearby wood and the militia thought that this was the Indians preparing to attack. Upon investigating it turned out to be a frightened heard of Eastern Buffalo. On another occasion two of Martin's militiamen played a practical joke on one who was exceptionally frightened of Indians. They led him away from his guard post one night with stories of a strayed horse. One of the men slipped away and discharged his weapon, the other fell as if struck dead, while the first rushed toward the unnerved man crying 'Indians!' As the two of them rushed toward the camp, the fallen trooper, rose from behind them and discharged his weapon, at which point the other conspirator fell as if dead, leaving the terrified picket to rush toward the camp alone to alert it to the 'Indian attack'. They had intended according to later testimony to stop him before he got to camp, but were unable to catch him in pursuit. The 'joke' was not amusing to Gen. Christian who had the two arrested. Martin arg ued for there release as they were good men, and eventually had to force their release at sword point. This act of insubordination damaged Martin's opportunities with the militia. General Christians order book contains the order prohibiting the firing of weapons at night which was issued in response to this incident. After the burning of the Indian Villages, the elderly chiefs of the Cherokee sued for peace and the Treaty of 1777 was signed at Long Island, Tennessee. This ceded all the northeastern lands of the Cherokee Indians to the United States. Joseph Martin was established as Indian commissioner for the Commonwealth of Virginia, and moved to Long Island, TN the following year where he lived with his Indian wife, Nancy Ward half-sister of Dragging Canoe. During the latter part of 1777, Joseph Martin, John Redd and Armstead Anderson and 80 or so militiamen were stationed at Rye Cove to guard the Powell and Clinch Valleys against Indian raids. This was a small settlement on a plateau of the Allegany mountains. Enroute they were ambushed by Indians under Little Fellow, while proceeding single file along a steep hill. One of the company was wounded by 5 or 7 balls. Later another ambush killed another militiaman. Armstead mentions an attack that killed one of his fellow militiamen. This is potentially the same incident. It is interesting to compare John Redd's relating of these stories to Armstead's. Clearly the similarity substantiate Armstead's pension testimony. ++++++++++++++++++++++ State of Kentucky Union County On the 17th day of December in the year of our Lord 1832, personally appeared in open Court before Joseph King, John S. Chapman, & John Blue, Justices of the County Court of Union County now sitting, Armstead Anderson, a resident of the County of Union and State of Kentucky aged seventy-five years on the 2nd day of September 1831, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefits of the Act of Congress dated June 7, 1832. That he entered the Service of the United States under the following named officers, and served as herein stated General William Christian Col William Russell Captain James Lyon Lieut Edward Choate Ensign George Pose. That he entered the service of the United States in August 1776 and was discharged therefrom in May 1777 that he entered the service under Captain James Lyon in August 1776 that he resided at the time he entered in Pittsylvania County State of Virginia that he marched under his command to Fort Chissell where several companies met two of which companies were commanded by Capt Joseph Martin and Captain Gilmore from this place he was marched to Major Anthony Bledsoe's near the head of Holston, where we were joined by other troops, he was then marched to Eatons Station about six miles from Long Island and from there to Long Island on Holston: at this place General William Christian came on and took the command, and Col Lewis at this place took command of the Regiment to which he belonged, he was from this place marched to the Cherokee towns upon the Tennessee River, then crossed the Tennessee River at what was called the Trading Trace and was marched down the river to Big Island Town (so called by the whites) which town we discharged by fire and after a few days stay at this place a party of Indians came in with some of the white prisoners and sued for peace. He states he recollects well that one of the prisoners brought in by them was a woman by the name of Beane, the mother of him after whom Beanes Station is called (as he believes) He was then marched up the river upon the same tract he was marched down, destroying several Indians towns untill we came to the Trading ford, that he continued up the river to an Indian town he thinks was called Suttico which was also destroyed by the army a detachment was then sent still further up the Tennessee River to an Indian town on an Island on the Tennessee river the name of which he does not now recollect, but states that a half bread Indian named Charles Murphy resided at this town. This town was destroyed but this property of Charles Murphy was saved in consequence of his friendship to the whites, he was with this detachment, the detachment then returned to the main body of the Army, that after a short stay the army returned to Long Island where General Christian returned home, and also Col Lewis and the army was disbanded. He states that he then entered the service under Captain Joseph Martin who resided in the same county of this applicant who was left for the purpose of guarding the frontier. Captain Martin continued at Long Island until after Christmast he then marched his company to Rye Cove Station at which place he continued until some time in March when this applicant was detached under the command of Captain John Duncan to Powells Valley as an escort to the settlers of that valley who wished to regain some articles of husbandry concealed upon their departure from their places of residence upon the commencement of hostilities. This applicant states that while there a party of the detachment to which he belonged was fired upon by the Indians and Robert Boardman & John Jamison were killed, that James Birch was wounded with seven balls and yet made his escape & came in he was then marched back to Rye Cove Station and there discharged in May 1777. He states that the company of Joseph Martin which he was attached as aforesaid was commanded by three brothers towit Joseph Martin Captain, Brice Martin Lieutenant and John Martin ensign which this applicant considered an unusual circumstance. This applicant states that in the summer of the year 1780 he entered the service un Captain John Fountain son in law of Governor Henry of Virginia this expedition was designed to keep the Torys down he received a credit of a three months tour of duty but no pay. This applicant further states that sometime in the year 1781 he volunteered to guard the ammunition waggons from Henry County to the county stores on Broad River he performed this service under the command of John Redd waggonmaster he received a credit of a three months tour of duty but received no pay he states that if he ever had any regular or written discharges (which he has no doubt of) he has long since lost or thrown them away as no account or importance he states that from his best recollection he was in the service of the United States in the revolutionary war at least fifteen months he states that he knows of no person now living by whom he can certainly prove the service he has rendered.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office this 17th day of December 1832. /s/ James R. Hughes ++++++++++++++++++++++ After the expedition to the western frontier Armstead apparently returns with the Henry County Militia to the area south of what is now Martinsville, Virginia. Armstead marries Urshula Farris before 1780 the daughter of Charles Farris and Edith who lived along Little Marrowbone Creek near present day Martinsville, Virginia. The Farris family had arrived from Scotland into the Albemarle Sound area of NC in the about 1663 and had settled along the North Carolina - Virginia border. The given name of Armstead's first wife is clearly established by the Anderson Bible entries of his daughter Urshula. Her maiden surname however is rather more difficult to establish. The maiden name of his first wife is given explicitly by his granddaughter Rachel Ferris Berry as Urshula Ferris. This can be found in the 1886, History of Union County, Kentucky. Rachel was still living at the time of publication of this history. A review of the Henry County Court records however, would imply that the spelling of this name had been corrupted by the grandchildren from what was originally 'Farris'. Armstead's properties at the time of his 1784 felony indictment and garnishment were in the hands of Charles Farris and included a spinning wheel and feather bed, presumed properties of his wife. Armstead's first child, John, was born on 10 May 1780. A record of the survey of land acquired by transfer for Armstead was entered in the Henry County surveyors book on 16 May 1780. I believe that I have successfully aligned this surveyors plot with the current geodetic survey map of this district. The land lies on the headwaters of the Little Marrowbone Creek. John Redd lived just a mile or two to the southeast of Armstead in what is preserved to this date as John Redd's old Virginia home. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Felony Indictment

Armstead dies and is reputedly buried in Old Salem Church Cemetery 5 miles south of Morganfield. Near Boxville you can find Anderson Creek, which crosses the main state road southeast out of Boxville. This creek drains the current government lands which were once Camp Breckinridge, a major Union training camp in the Civil War.

Allen Anderson was the son of John Anderson and Mary Bell. This is proven when he is named in Rebecca Anderson's chancery suit in 1815. He is also named in the 1778 tax list with his father John. No birth record is known. All records of Nottoway Parish have been lost. The association with the Snead family suggest that his wife's last name was Snead. A man named Snead was the grave digger at the decease of one of his sisters. Snead's Spring is located at the head of Long Branch just above Whetstone Creek in Nottoway County. He purchases land from John Snead on 07/04/1791 in Charlotte County and sells it back to James Snead for the same amount six months later and disappears. No record was found indicating that he followed either his brother William to Wilkes County, Georgia or his brother Armstead to Logan County, Kentucky. The next effort is to examine Dickson County, Tennessee where the 1820 Census index indicates the presence of Allen Anderson.

[Anderson,Richard.FTW]
[Anderson.FTW]
The Richard Anderson detailed in Grant J. Anderson's genealogy is in fact the son of a William Anderson who was bornn in Amelia County, Virginia and not the son of James Anderson son of Jordan Anderson. Grant J. Anderson in his 1909 book admits that he was reconstructing this family as best as he could determine, indicating some uncertainty. The correct data is apparent from the bible record that William Anderson include's in his Revolutionary War pension claim. I cannot be certain that this William is from our Anderson family but because the Georgia cousins believe that they were related I submit that the William of the below revelolutionary war record may be the son of John. Because of the association with his cousin James Anderson it is possible that these two went to Georgia together. Alternatively there is a William Anderson born in this same time frame who was the son of Francis Anderson of northern Amelia County and of no confirmed relation. William is named in Rebecca's chancery suit in 1815. He is mentioned in John May's will as a brother- in-law in 1796 and by his sister in 1800. John May left him; a bridle, a horse, and a saddle. I wonder if the horse knew it's own way to Georgia. Because the Mays give a horse, bridle and bed to John's son William in the 1796-1800 time frame I am suspicious that he was still resident in Nottoway County and could not therefore be the WIlliam of the record below. Until I have the opportunity to obtain information that resolves this issue I will continue to list William here as Grant Anderson claimed him and I am not ready yet to evict him from the family. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ William Anderson's date of dirth is obtained from the leaf of the family Bible submitted with the pension application. He married Elizabeth Lewis in Spartansburg South Carolina 05/26/1786. She was the daughter of David Lewis.

Hannah apparently never married. She is named as Hannah Anderson in her father, John Anderson's, will. She sold the lands inherited from her brother-in-law, John May, to William Moore, a neighbor. No will was found. See Nottoway County Will Book 4 page 5 'Estate Listing and Account of Sale'. Her death in 1815 precipitates Chancery suit naming all the siblings.

The reversal of David and Daniel Vaughan's names is as it occurs in the original record. The subsequent return states only that the court order was carried out and does not reveal any new significant information regarding family members.

Polly B. Anderson was the daughter of John Anderson and Mary Bell. Polly married Freeman Eckles the son of James Eckles before 1793. This name is given in the 1794 will of John May as Freeman Nichols. Additionally, Grant Anderson (1909) gives it as Nichols. But Martha gives it as Eckles in her 1800 will. I have found no Nichols in Nottoway County. Freeman Eckles appears as witnesses to several family documents. Rebecca's 1815 chancery suit says that she is dead and that she had children by Freeman Eckles who is now their guardian. He probably remarried before the 1820 census.

In the book 'Genealogy in part, of the Anderson-Owen-Beall families', by Grant James Anderson, Whittet & Shepperson, Richmond, Virginia, 1909; it is stated that Peleg married Faith Anderson and the children below are listed as hers. He apparently remarried after her death. On 10/20/1776 Francis Eppes conveys to Peleg Ferguson and Frances his wife, her dower of her late husband, Charles Williams. In his will he mentions no wife so it is assumed that Frances died before 06/1795. The will of Peleg does not mention all of his children, as the Amelia County marriage records provide us with the name of Delphe Ferguson daughter of Peleg. The 1795 will of Peleg Ferguson names no wife and his beloved daughter Mary Anderson, son William Ferguson, daughter Elizabeth Jackson, daughter Lucy Tankersley, grand-daughter Ann Jackson (daughter of Lucy), grand- daughter Betty Tankersley (daughter of Lucy) and son John Ferguson. He designates John Ferguson and friend Freeman Eppes as executors. Witnesses are Woodlief Thomas, John Mills, Edw Mays, Benjn Bridgeforth. In a codicile he provides for Rebecca Chavis and her daughter Betty Chavis who attended him in his declining years. files in 1796 on page 213,214 of will book 1?
