Note:

The GA D.A.R. records has Anderson Redding's (RWS) year of birth to be 1764. 
However, the records of Thomas Slade and Jean S. Willingham (1961) are showing 
Anderson Redding's date of birth to be 1765, dying at the age of 80 yrs of age. 
If this was the correct age of his death when he died then his birth would have 
been in 1765 (NOT. 1764).

The plantation where the late Anderson Redding, of Monroe County lived, eight 
miles from Forsyth, on the road leading to Clinton by way of Dame's Ferry.  It 
is situated in a good neighborhood, and healthy; the tract contains about 
thirteen hundred and fifty acres -- about 680 of which is woods, the balance is 
under good fencing, a considerable portion of which is fresh and but a small 
portion worn out.  There is a good two story Dwelling, with shed rooms and 
porch, all finished; a good framed work house and meat house, (all new) an 
excellent set of negro houses, built of logs with brick chimneys, large framed 
stables, &c.  The land lies in good bodies of cultivation, and is considered 
one of the best farms in the county.  It will be sold at private sale.  For 
further particulars, call on either of the undersigned.
