Biography

At the November 1788 term of the Washington County Court, a year's support was authorized Margaret, "for the widow and orphans". Margaret and Robert Anderson were appointed to administer the estate. Robert was the brother of Isaac, and was living in the original home place of the Andersons, Rockbridge County, Virginia (near Lexington). Tax lists of that time show that Robert was not at his home, lending credence to the theory that he was attending to Isaac's family in Tennessee. The law in those days required that the property of a man who died without a will must be sold if necessary to pay his debts. Among the buyers at Isaac's estate sale were John and Robert Anderson, presumed to be brothers of Isaac

Note for Isaac Anderson Death Isaac Anderson was among the militia sent in the summer of 1788 to garrison Houston's Station in southern Blount County to provide some protection for the inhabitants of the area from Indian raids. On August 8th a party of 31 men under Captain John Fain were sent out to scout and reconnoiter the area. They crossed the (Little) Tennessee River about eight or nine miles distant, and came to the Indian town called Citico, which had been recently evacuated by the Indians. They stopped to gather apples in what they thought was an abandoned apple orchard. Suddenly they were set upon on all sides by a body of Indians. The Indians had taken possession of the ford and as the whites attempted to escape by swimming across the river, many were slaughtered in the water. About half the men were killed and several others wounded. Among those killed was Isaac Anderson and his "brother-in-law (George) Mathes". Book TN McMinn Mars Hill Presby

Notes

This is the information I have come up with for the Anderson's. Come to find out, I think Isaac Anderson (1a) might be the brother of James Anderson (4a). Have to do more research.

Story I found... 4h Isaac "of Citico" Anderson Sr was among the militia sent in the summer of 1788 to Garrison Houston's Station in southern Blount County to provide some protection for the inhabitants of the area from Indian raids. On August 8th a party of 31 men under Captain John Fain were sent out to scout and reconnoiter the area. They crossed the (Little) Tennessee River about eight or nine miles distant, and came to the Indian town called Citico, which had been recently evacuated by the Indians. They stopped to gather apples in what they thought was an abandoned apple orchard. Suddenly they were set upon on all sides by a body of Indians. The Indians had taken possession of the ford and as the whites attempted to escape by swimming across the river, many were slaughtered in the water. About half the men were killed and several others wounded. Among those killed was Isaac "of Citico" Anderson (28 years old) and his "brother-in-law (George) Mathes".

4i Rev Isaac Anderson Jr (son of 4h Isaac "Citico" Anderson and 7a Martha Woods) married 8a Jane Biggs. They are the parents of 4o Mary Anderson (wife of 9a Rev Benjamin Wallace), 4q Isabella Anderson McGill, 4r John Anderson, and 4s Robert Anderson.
