Two documents recorded in Madison Co KY - one in 1798 and the other 1811 - positively identifies the children of John Anderson (b.ca.1725-1795, and wife Anne Erwin/Irvine) who were heir at law of his father James Anderson b.ca.1690, of The Long Glade of North River of Shenandoa, Orange/Augusta Co VA, who left will when he died in Augusta Co in 1778.

See

Madison Co KY Deed Bk D, page 712-714, 1798

Madison Co KY Deed Bk H, pg 167-168, 1811

The first document was a division of property among heirs in 1798, 3 years after the death of their father. It names all of heirs and children of John Anderson b.ca.1725 - d.1795 KY.

The second document, involving only some of the children gives a power of Attorney to Chapman Johnson of Augusta Co VA, to recover and sell for them 200 acres which had belonged to their Grandfather, James Anderson - this relationship explicitely stated in the document.
