a land grant on Bennett's Crock, York
River. Who was his wife or how many
children blessed his union we cannot
say. Probably William Anderson living
In PettsWoEth Parish In 1ile was hiS

many children. of which we will speak
below. A Mathew Anderson, probably
grandson of the above, was horn in
Id

unsuished Mason and vestryman OF
Pettsworth, and. Senator from Middle

| friend OF John Page, and the latter
gentleman advised Mr.. Anderson to
settle all of his debts and those which
| he owed as executor OF Lewis Burwell.
Mr.. Anderson was In pretty good COM
