The will of James Anderson of Franklin County VA dated 13October1821 and probated 11Mar1822 lists wife Anne and Childen:

Jesse m. Mary (Polly) Arrington
Joseph m. Nancy Coleman
Nelson m. Selina Taylor
James m. Sarah Unknown
Lucy m. Richard Meador
Polly m. Daniel Meador
Franky m. Jonas Meador
Sally m. Ananais Meador
Betsy m. Thomas Simpson

Query:Is the James Anderson who married Anny Hubbard in Cumberland County, VA the same James Anderson whose will is listed above?For four of five daughters to have married into the same or related family suggest a close family connection.Did the Meador family come to Bedford then Franklin County Virginia with the Anderson family?
