William was born in 1645 at Pocomoke Neck, Acc Co, VA. On 16 Jul 1663 in Accomack Court William Anderson, aged about 18 years, gave a deposition that the heifer that John Rogers accepted was coal black with only a little white on the udder and tail. Signed Will. Anderson..3 After his father died in 1648, his mother Amey named her 4 children viz: Garrett, Amey, William & Elizabeth Anderson in a deed of gift.2 In 1660 Amy Waddelowe, widow of Nicholas, sold the whole 400 aces of tract N80 that had been patented by her husband Garrett Anderson in 1640, to Richard Hinman. How she obtained a fee-simple title is not clear, in view of the fact that a son William Anderson was still living to inherit, but it may be that he was under age and she was acting for him.4 William bought land on 10 November 1663 at Accomack Co, VA. It was on this date that Tabeteaby (was this Tapatiapon who was great Emperor of the Eastern Shore?) sold William Anderson 600 acres on the bay bordering Dr. George Hack's land. Singed Tabeteaby (W.) (NOTE: Anderson must have been buying land at age 18, as his deposition of July 1663 showed him as aged 18.).5 He married Mary [14] Wise, daughter of Col. John Wise Sr. and Hannah [6] Scarburgh, circa 1667 at Accomack Co, VA. The proof that William Anderson's first wife Mary was a daughter of Col. John Wise is based on the fact Col. Wise named both of William Anderson's daughters, Naomi and Comfort, as granddaughters in his will of 21 Oct 1693. William Anderson's 2nd wife Mary, widow of John Renny, wrote her will in 1703. So she was alive when John Wise wrote his will and would have been named in his will if she had been his daughter, but instead he named his granddaughters Naomi & Comfort, implying that their mother was dec'd..6 William was named in his mother's will on 20 August 1678 at Accomack Co, VA. He was shown as my son William Anderson and named Extr. in the will of Amy Fowkes..1 He married Mary (-----) in October 1678 at Accomack Co, VA. On 17 Dec 1678 in Accomack Court it was recorded that Mr. Wm. Anderson, who had married Mary (the widow of administratress of Mr. John Reny), proved that Wm. Wallis (dec'd) owed 370 lbs tobacco to Anderson in the right of his wife. Also on this date Mr. William Anderson, who married the widow of John Renny, declared that Renny (during his lifetime) had sold William Wallis (now also deceased) 200 acres on ths south side of the Pokomoke River. Anderson's wife alleged that she had not consented to the sale of her right of dower or thirds and had not signed any relinquishment. Ordered that the sheriff divide the land and give Anderson the thirds in the right of his wife after the next court, when it would be determined if she had relinquished her right or not..7 William Anderson was security on the administration of an estate on 20 June 1693 at Accomack Co. On 21 Feb 1692/93 administration on the estate of Col. Daniel Jenifer was granted to Capt. Daniel of St. Thomas Jenifer, son of said Col. Daniel, to take effect when he becomes 21, which will be 3 May next. Administration was granted 20 Jun 1693 with Capt. William Custis, William Anderson, William Parker of Matompkin & Edward Brotherton securities.8 He made a will on 23 July 1698 at Accomack Co, VA. To Mr. Francis Makemie & Naomi his wife, my eldest daughter all my lands at Matchatanck, being 1000 acres & for want of heirs to my 3 grandaughters Elizabeth, Naomi & Comfort Taylor, daughters of Elias & Comfort Taylor - To Francis Makemie all the money lent him & that he may have his sloop at my death &c., he paying 6
