Proven: 25 July 1804 There is solid evidence of an Anderson burying ground located on one of the tracts mentioned in these deeds. It starts with William Anderson's 1803 Will, in that he gives one of his sons, Thomas Anderson (????-????) half of the tract of land where his father William lived. Then in 1805 (probably after his father died), Thomas Anderson now living in Farmville, sells 212 acres that his father willed to him, to his cousin Thomas Anderson Morton (1777-1869). This deed is the only deed that exists to date that mentions a family graveyard on the tract sold. See below. **** Thomas Anderson to Thomas A Morton, "Cumberland County Virginia Deed Book 9, 1801-1807" Page 474 16 January 1805 "...Thomas Anderson of Farmville of the one part and Thomas Morton of the same place of the other..." "...the sum of four hundred & twenty four pounds..."

(bounded by John Price, "the Road", "the main Road", Bens Shop, Benjamin Woodson, Freemans house and John Seay) "...one incumbrance only excepted, that is to say the claim which Esther Anderson the widow of the late William Anderson deceased may set up as dower." "Memo' that it is understood by the parties hereto that the grave yard is not to be interrupted by the said Morton being reserved as a family burying ground" Signed: "Thos Anderson" "Thos A Morton" Recorded: 28 January 1805 ****** Further noted that Thomas A Morton sold a 1 acre tract next to the Cumberland Meeting House to Reuben & Isham Seay in 1837, then he sold 335 acres "formerly Andersons" but not bounded by the meeting house, to John Thackston in 1840. John Thackston sold 336 acres to Mildred C Shepperson (wife of Rev. Charles M Shepperson) in 1843. This deed reveals the location of the Anderson tract as "lying between Cumberland meeting house & Raine's Tavern on the main Road". In conclusion this land being the same land passed down from Charles Anderson (1708-1786) to son William Anderson (1745-1804) contains the William Anderson Cemetery, known for William to be buried here and probably his father Charles along with their spouses. All deed and will sources: FamilySearch.org Note: There is an unknown graveyard located 1/2 mile north of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church off of Cumberland Rd. on Lake Rd. as seen marked on the 1968 USGS Farmville Quadrangle Topo Map. This does not necessarily point out the location of the Anderson Cemetery. Research by Robert Smith 10/29/2021
