Anderson

  George Anderson, a member of Augusta District Militia in 1742, though he moved
to Bedford county, was in 1758 still attached to the same military company. He
appears to have married twice, the second time to a widow, Mrs. Cofer. His will
written in 1778 bequeathed his landed property to his son, Jacob. This son, and
his two sons, William and John, were listed with the Bedford county militia, in
which Jacob held office of sergeant. His daughter, Sarah Anderson, married
Jeremiah Early. Jacob Anderson married Mary, daughter of Colonel William
Callaway and his wife, Elizabeth Tilley. Their children were:

—William, m., 1783, his cousin, Sarah, dau. of Colonel Jeremiah and Sarah
Anderson-Early. William Anderson was sheriff of Campbell in 18O5; died 18O6.

—Mary, m., 18O6, Richmond C. Tyree, and moved to Tennessee.

—John, m., 1810, Lucy Walton, moved to Lafayette county, Missouri.

-Matilda, m., 1810, Pleasant Tyree, and moved to Tennessee.

-Elizabeth, m., 1816, Samuel Tyree, also moved from Campbell.

Early-Callaway.

-Docia, m., John Price.

-Jeremiah Early, m. Elizabeth Brooks. Jerry E. Anderson owned a large tract of
land on Goose creek and Staunton river upon which he built a handsome home,
Clover Hill, on brick foundation, with cornice of dental pattern: the interior
finely finished with carved chair boarding in both stories, and stairways, front
and back, lead to divided suites for male and female members of the household.
Large slabs of light colored native stone are used for exterior steps. This
residence rests upon a level plateau overlooking extensive bottoms and heigths
across the river. Anderson sold the property in 1836 to Stephen P. Smith of
Pittsylvania; a tract of 3OO acres, together with 1OO acres on Chell's ford
adjoining Thomas Leftwich, Mrs. Sally Anderson, and William A. Lee: also 6OO
acres in Pittsylvania,-on the west side of Callaway's road,—lying upon Staunton
river, the sale being by gross and not by acre. Clover Hill is situated near
Leesville and is now owned by Walter Smith, of Lynchburg, a grandson of Stephen
P. Smith, and son of John T. and Mary King Dunnington-Smith, the property having
remained in .the Smith family nearly one hundred years.

  Jerry E. Anderson moved to Odessa, Missouri; his son, William, Jr., m. a
daughter of George P. Venable.
