James Anderson 1734…at Nottoway River
I stumbled across this reference and it piqued my interest. So I snooped around a bit and finally mapped out his land and whereabouts. This is what I would consider, a likely place for an Indian Interpreter to, you know, live and hang out.
…as usual, click the blue filename under the graphic for a better view…
This Henry Biggs, seems to me, is likely the notorious Indian Interpreter. See the short Bio below…
…oops… I tried to link to a site of the Meherrin.org guys but they don’t want to link… ok Google it if you so choose…
Here is my, rather unshort, references to said Henry Briggs… just use the ComdF CntrF
shortcut and search “briggs”… he will pop up
Here is my newfound info on sd Briggs and my guy James Anderson as a witness to a deed in 1734. It seems to me, after perusing the details, that this deed to Mr. Day is near the Nottoway Indian reservation.
With no real evidence whatever, and merely a hunch, I wonder if this might be the James Anderson of Occoneechee Neck in North Carolina that I chronicle?
There were numerous Andersons from Prince George County, some of whom were traders, that this could also be. But my guy is equally close, and possible… so who knows? This James just disappears. Poof.
Damn . . . I have 16 James Anderson’s in my family tree and that doesn’t include the later ones with middle names. Which one might this be? We are really good at going “poof” LOL! I still can’t find my paternal grandfather after his release from prison.

This one is likely the brother of Carolus Anderson and the Elizabeth Anderson who had the bastard child which made us all have Brantley blood DNA. (if you are directly from Wm. Anderson d1789)
If you are of this James Anderson then your DNA will be different and pure Anderson.
Got that? Good.
Felons, Horse thieves and wanton Saloon Girls…gotta love history.
