• *************************************************************************************************************

ANDERSON JACOB and JOHN ANDERSON are on the 1781 militia list (Mont. Co.) ; JAMES ANDERSON is on the 1783 list. On the Montgomery Co. taxpayer list are these ANDERSON S: WILLIAM, PETER, JAMES,ISAAC, THOMAS, JACOB, JOHN, CORNELIUS, and GEORGE.According to family tradition, JACOB and JOHN were brothers; in 1820 U.S. Census, Grayson Co., VA., JACOB states he was born in NJ (probably the Delaware River Valley). The brothers settled near Middle Fork Creek circa 1780. JOHN left a will written 07 Jan 1826 probated 1830, naming wife Mary (Roboson) and children,NANCY, MILLEY, ELIZABETH, GEORGE, ISAAC, WILLIAM, JOSEPH, and JONATHAN. ELIZABETH and her husband REV. STEPHEN B. ROSS (married 12 Mar 1818) inherited the home place. Descendants have been traced through WILLIAM ( married CATHERINE WALLING) and ISAAC (married ELIZABETH PARKS). [Edited by PBA]

No will has been found for JACOB, but he and wife SUSANNAH had a son, JOHN who married FERABY CORNETT; they are buried at their home site, on the original grant, the GARNETT ANDERSON place, off Rt. 658. JACOB's daughter; REBECCA, married JOHN HASH, and another daughter, NANCY, married WILLIAM HASH. Other issue of JACOB and SUSANNAH probably included THOMAS, PETER, and JACOB Jr.PETER later went to Hancock Co., TN.

Maj. JAMES ANDERSON of Albemarle Co., VA., who came to the New River, married MARTHA (PATSY) NUCKOLLS, daughter of JOHN NUCKOLLS, an early settler in the Grayson area. James might be a brother to JACOB and JOHN;family journeys often started from PA/NJ on the Wagon Road with stop-overs in counties along the way, such as Albemarle. PATSY and JAMES reared a family near Galax and are buried in the ANDERSON cemetery there (NUCKOLLS, 67). Family discussed in NUCKOLLStext.
