    Notes:

    BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

    Thomas was a Methodist preacher. The following information was found at Randolph-Macon College library.

    In 1808 Thomas P. Anderson is admitted on trial to the Virginia Conference, and stationed at Tar River the New Bern District (North Carolina). The conference was held at the Ellis Preaching House.

    In 1809" Thomas remains on trial and goes to Franklin, Yadkin District. He was appointed a junior preacher under James Cromwell in Pittsylvania County. At a later conference he was admitted to the full conference along with Jesse Lee and others.He was then appointed a junior preacher under Thomas Humphreys in Guilford, N.C. He was then ordained a deacon and appointed to Roanoke.Other assignments included New River and New Hope. e was then ordained an elder and presided over Roanoke and Pamlico.

    Historically, when a person was judged by the Annual Conference to have the "gifts and graces " to serve effectively as a minister throughout the denomination, that person became a "traveling elder." A traveling elder was one who was qualified to serve wherever appointed and thus to become a part of the itinerant or traveling ministry. When a minister was no longer able or willing or judged competent to travel throughout the Church, the privilege of traveling was withdrawn and the minister was "located" that is, limited to only one place.

    At some point around the time of his marriage to Elizabeth Younger, he settled in Halifax County. He and his wife were founding members of McKendree United Methodist Church which shares a boundary line with the farm that has been in the Anderson family for 170 years. The Anderson farm has one of the largest short leaf pine trees in Virgina, measuring 8 feet 6 inches in circumference.

Then it is my will that the property be divided that sarah take her thirds. Should Sarah marry it is my will that the child have a guardian to take care of its portion of the estate.

    Should the expected heir die, it is my will that Sarah enjoy the while estate during her widowhood but so soon
    as she married it is my will that she take her third and that the residue be divided between my brother's or their heirs. Should she remain a widow until her death, at her decease it is my will that my brothes or their heirs receive an equal portion of my estate."

    And he appointed Thomas P. Anderson his executor who duly qualified a the September term of court in Halifax 1835. The child with which your oratrix was enseint at the time of the death or her said husband has since died and she has lately intermarried with the complainant Joseph Goodman.

    The answer of Thomas P. Anderson executor of James Younger decd to the bill of complaint exhibited against him and others by Joseph Goodman and Sarah his wife. The respondent saving and reserving to himself all benefit of exceptions for anser to the said bill as to so much thereof as he is advised it is material for him to answer says that he believes he has suficient assets in his hands to pay all the debts of his testator without resorting to the slaves and he submits to this court to make such ? In the case as to it may seem just and equitable and having fully answered he prays to be dismissed with his costs.

    Court orders James Adkisson, Anthony Sydnor, Benjamin F. Avery, Henry A. Christian and Peachy H. Gilmer, or any 3 of them, appointed commissioners to lay off and assigne Joseph Goodman and Sarah his wife one third part in value of two town lots in Meadsville of which James Younger died siezed and possesed that they allot to the same one third value of the slaves of the said deceased to be held by them for and during the life of the said Sarah and that they divide the residue of the slaves equally between the defendants
    Wiulliam, John, Armistead and Williamson Younger.

    By a decree of the Nov. court 1837..one third to Joseph Goodman and Sarah and the remaining two thirds to be equally divided between the decd James Younger's brothers, William, John, Armistead, and Williamson, al being of
    lawful age, and all present except William Younger who was represented by his brother Williamson as his attorney, we were directed to divide the slaves into 5 equal parts, one part of Jospeh Goodman and Sarah his wife and their heirs forever, in lieu of one third for life only, the remaining 4/5th to be alloted to William, John, Armistead and Williamson as follows:
