George Anderson DNA study… from IOW 1695
I think this is my earliest ANDERSON ancestor… it is my “working” theory. Most all of my work on this blog centers around this theory.

In the early 2000s I communicated with Paul Anderson (now deceased). He had some theories about the early ANDERSONS of NC. He over-generalized in his excitement and study. He will turn up in Google searches and unfortunately much of his Big Picture ideas have turned out to be, as I say, “over generalized”. But, respectfully and fondly, I think he was spot on in his research of his ancestor who was a RW patriot named George Anderson of Granville. Other members of this family relocated to Cumberland County, NC and left a trail.

My take on that George Anderson can be found here:
I currently think that is the best shot for a DNA sample of the link to 1695 George of IOW.
.
David Gammon and I (and others) have speculated that there are several people in the general area of Occoneechee Neck, NC (Halifax/Roanoke River) who may be related to the James Anderson I reference above. The problem is that there is not a DNA sample for folks to compare. If any of you folks can muster the data and have the skills to do the analysis… then Shazam!… this could open a world of new knowledge. For instance:
Susanna Anderson and her likely son Peter Anderson who died in 1801.
John Anderson who married the widow of Daniel McDaniel. …and others

George Anderson d. 1757, Granville, is presumably my 6th Great Uncle. My DNA is on GEDMatch and so far very few matches and most much later Anderson’s. Fascinating!

It will be a brick wall breaker upper if we can start getting matches… but we also have to “prove” a connection from that George to James Anderson of 1716 Timeline.
Like I say, my line is not going to show up in the “correct” ANDERSON line (since I am a BRANTLEY)
Other folks are trying to tie in the Peter Anderson d 1801 line from Halifax/Nash Counties, NC.
