I25375: James W. ALVIS (ABT 1845

Notes

He was the son of South Side Anderson, spouse unknown..
"Reynard Anderson is identified as a head right in the patent of Martin Coale for 300 acres on the south side of the Great Wicomoco River in Northumberland County on 07-01-1654. This must have been a sale of his headright as he appears to have been a resident of the southsideVirginia. His name appears in the records and as transcribed by readers takes on several variant spellings. I have no indication of where he was born and consideration must be given equally to the possibility that he came from Europe and, or was born to the Anderson family of the James River. The name Reyanrd is unusual and is french for fox and therefore it is possible that he had a mother of french descent.

Reynard probably purchased land in Charles City County south of the James River around the time of his marriage in 1662. However all the Charles City County deeds have been destroyed so it is not possible to identify exactly where he lived while raising his children. The 1663 Bennington power of Attorney mentions Mays and Coleman who are later associated with lands near Bailey's Creek which flows northeast of Petersburg Virginia. Just before his death he does obtain a patent in the headwaters of Blackwater River which reach just short of the Bailey Creek area. It is unlikely he had enough time to do much with that late acquisition of land. His daughter Frances marries John Herbert whose plantation was also in this vicinity. It is important to note that his sons all obtained land by 1704 along Bailey Creek just northeast of current Petersburg and it is likely that this came either from their father or from associations with their brother in law John Herbert. Because the sons received differing shares of their fathers estate it appears his will was probated but has been lost due to civil war distruction of records.
It is unproven that James Anderson was an elder son of Reynard born between 1662 and 1668. James was apparently deceased before the 1689 record naming the sons and therefore was not named. I am looking for evidence that Matthew acted as the guardian of James' infant children because they were underage at the death of their father. In tracing the family there is a greatgrandson in James' branch named Reinard. I am still seeking proof, other than the one 1711 court record that the son James existed. Because James is not mentioned in the 1689 suit naming the sons considerable closure could be obtained by dismissing the son James and placing his children as Matthew's but I have not done so because the 1711 record specifically identifies Matthew Jr.'s father as James and that he is deceased. Matthew, Sr. however, was very much alive, so he could not be the father of the siblings of Matthew, Jr.
