Howell Pryse is granted a patent for 4800 acres of land in Charles City
County 10/27/1655 for the transport of many individuals, including a
Thomas Anderson. This is not filed in the Virginia State Land Patents
rather it is filed in Charles City Court Orders 1655-58 on page 82.
Howell Pryse was a Charles County sheriff and a resident south of the
James River at Flowerdieu Hundred. Howell Pryse later returned to Great
Britain at the end of the Cromwellian period. I have been unable to
find any other reference to this Thomas Anderson in Charles City County
Records but the number of records surviving is limited. The patent above
was to men living around and about the Merchant's Hope and Flowerdieu
Hundred Plantation and It should be considered possible that the Charles
Anderson and Thomas Anderson of the next generation may be a son of this
man. The Thomas Anderson herein listed as a son married as his second
wife Mary Lucy the granddaughter of William Barker who owned 'The
Merchant's Hope' the ship that brought Richard Anderson b.1585 to
Virginia and William Barker founded the Merchant's Hope Plantation.
Charles and Thomas Anderson were born in the same decade and owned land
in proximity to each other on the southside of the James River in what
became southeastern Prince George County.
