Andersons of Colonial N. Carolina

I’m seeing 2 distinct family groups…  both brothers…

Thomas from Surry… d.1730 in Meherrin River… sons Thomas Jr, Ambrose, Robert, Joseph b1724 (Quaker) (John & Arthur stayed in Southampton along with Sampson)

William from Surry (stayed there)… sons Benjamin & Joseph d1763 (south of Tar River near the Gays)…James dies or moves by 1746,  a son John moved to White Oak 1746 (had son William who stays around White Oak area)   thats the theory anyway…
