Biography
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Anderson-2088
A John and Margaret Anderson are listed in the immigration proof of George Anderson on May 22, 1740 in Orange County, Virginia as coming from "Ireland, to Philadelphia, and from thence into this Colony, at his own charges" [1]
The children of George Anderson were not born until November of 1740 so the John Anderson and Margaret Anderson named are likely his parents.
Death date for John Anderson is set based on his wife's sworn testimony in a case heard in the Court of Augusta County, Virginia on December 21, 1757 . It is more common for a male to issue testimony before the Courts than a female, based on this it is likely that John has died prior to this date. [2] Chalkley's Chronicles Rootsweb #85 Also, the will of Margaret Anderson's which was dated May 4, 1761 and proved March 20, 1764 in the Court of Augusta County, Virginia, very few married women left wills, so this leads me to believe that her husband had died prior to the making of the will.
