Andersons of Colonial N. Carolina

John Anderson & Anne Huskey

Head right of William Powell- 28 Apr 1711  

Wm. Powell and Rbt. Spring granted 97 acres (or 79 acres) at head of the W. Br. of Elizabeth River, Norfolk Co., commonly called Briery Corner, 28 April 1711, pg. 12 Beginning on lines of Edward Huse & Moses Spring, by a Gr. Poquoson, bonding on Moses and Aron Spring, for importing two persons: John Anderson and Anne Huskey.

(This William Powell lived near the Round Hill Swamp / Kingsale area of Virginia…hence my interest in the below John Anderson.  It is my speculation that he may be the headright mentioned, however, he amassed quite a plantation in the 10 or more years that he arrived (servant?) and his death in 1722.  He is the end of the line for this Anderson “having no Other Friend or Relation to leave it too”.)
