Anthony Gholson
Sex: M
Birth: Bet 1707 and 1708 in Spotsylvania Co., VA.
Death: 1779 in Halifax Co. VA.
Note:

Halifax Co. Land Records Book 10 page 265 Dated 10 Feb 1777 Anthony Gholson of Louisa Co. purchased of John Williamson of Halifax Co. for 125 pounds 225 acres "lying and being on the South Side of Dan on the lower side of Deep Bottom creek...Down new Road" bound by John Dickies, William Wiley and Joyn Raney, Joseph Talbert, Elizabeth Miller- "its being a tract of land bequeathed to Jacob Miller by the last will and testament of Harmen Miller Dec. and conveyed by deed from the said Jacob Miller to John Williamson"

Book 14 page 485 dated 3 Jan 1789 - Dabney Goalson sold to John Goalson 100 acres for 100 pounds land described as "being upper part of the land given to me by my fathers last will...beginning on Charles Powell line" bound by John Dickie, Charles Powell, James Watkins - Witnesses Charles Powell, Thomas Hix, Arch Commical . This proves that Charles Powells land bordered Anthony Gholson's land and was also on the South Side of the Dan.

Anthony Gholson, Jr. was probably born and raised in Spotsylvania County, VA and married Mary Sandridge, daughter of William and Ann Sandridge , by 1743. He & Mary lived close by her parents on land he purchased from William Sandridge from 1744 until 1764, when he probably moved to Lousia County. In 1777 he migrated to Halifax County, V A and it seems most of his married children migrated with him. Anthony Jr. died in 1779. Mary Gholson married John Brown Aug. 8, 1788, Halifax Co. VA and died after 1798. The known children of Anthony Jr. & Mary are as follows.

Book 10 Page 265
Recorded August Court 1777
Dated 10 Feb. 1777 - Anthony Gholson of Louisa Co. purchased of John Williamson of Halifax Co. for 125 pounds, 225 acres "lying and being in the County of Halifax aforesaid and on the South side of Dan on the lower side of Deep Bottom creek...Down new Road" - Bounded by John Dickies, William Wiley and John Raney, Joseph Talbert, Elizabeth Miller - land formerly owned by Jacob Miller - Witnesses: James Coleman, Joseph Talbert, Thomas B??, John Gholson

Book 14 page 485
Dated 3 Jan. 1789 - Dabney Goalson sold to John Goalson - 100 acres for 100 pounds - land described as "being upper part of the land given to me by my fathers last will...beginning on Charles Powell line" - Bounded by John Dickie, Charles Powell, James Watkins - Witnesses: Charles Powell, Thomas Hix, Arch Commical
Note: This record describing the land received from Anthony Gholson as beginning at Charles Powell line proves Charles' land was adjacent to his father's-in-law land on the South side of the Dan. There were many other Powells in the land records (William, Luke, David, Mark, John, Joshua, and another Charles) but the land was mostly in Northern Halifax Co. on and near the Bannister River. I have not connected any of these other Powells with our Charles, but it is possible there is a connection.

Anthony married Mary Sandridge 1764, Virginia. Mary was born 1722, Spotsylvania County, Virginia; died Yes, date unknown. [Group Sheet]
