His wife has been reported to be Nancy Sanders/Saunders born abt 1770. There has been many who think this Nancy Sanders was the daughter of John Sanders and Sarah Grant but that has been proven false. > > There is enough tradition that would make the name Nancy Sanders possible just not the daughter of John and Sarah. > > There is another John Sanders living in Buckingham County with a wife's name of Judith which is a possibility. > > Any help or suggestions would be appreciated > > Thanks > Roger > > To subscribe, change options, or unsubscribe, please see the instructions at > http://listlva.lib.va.us/archives/va-roots.html To subscribe, change options, or unsubscribe, please see the instructions at http://listlva.lib.va.us/archives/va-roots.html
