Your Anderson line is that of Thomas Anderson, blacksmith and miller on Mill Creek just east of Bunker Hill, WV by 1735. The name Culbert or Colbert (as it is generally rendered) is a pretty indicator. The lineage runs: 1)Thomas Anderson 2)Colbert Anderson I 3)Colbert Anderson II. Thomas had only one other son, James Anderson who migrated to District Ninety-Six, SC to found a dynasty of Andersons from there.

The first Colbert died young leaving only two children: Rebecca and Colbert, Jr. (II) who was just an infant at the time of his father's death. This second Colbert acquires the Anderson lands and the mill, etc., marries Nancy (aka Ann), and fathers a large family. I descend from William Anderson, the eldest son and executor of his father's estate. William moved to Brown Co., OH (then Adams Co.) in about 1808.

Children of Colbert Anderson are:

+ 14 i. Colbert5 Anderson, born March 16, 1747/48 in Frederick County, Virginia; died 1804 in Berkley Springs, Virginia.

15 ii. Rebecca Anderson.
