Howdy Cousin!

Found a David Anderson, cica 1657-1664, Westmoreland County, Virginia
selling 100 acres to Major John Washington [ great grandfather of General
George Washington]. Virginia Land Office patents, Book 5, page 161.

Any body have a descendant chart for this David ANDERSON?


Thanks, Dan Fairfax , Nashville, Tennessee,

so

long,

> exceeding fair house, he met his own father, long since dead, who gave him
a

good,
