Have found no answers to Thomas' "New York" origin, as alleged in Colbert Jr.'s lawsuit. Similarly, most of the SC families were Loyalists during the Revolution (James, Jr. and Colbert were refugees behind British lines in Charleston, where apparently James died; Colbert's property confiscated; family almost disappeared, except my branch, which removed to Pendleton District, then East TN).

7 i. Thomas5 Anderson, born Bet. 1740 - 1755.
