McPHERSON, SANDERS -
I'm seeking ancestry of Edward Sanders, VA county unknown. His headstone indicates he was born 17 Jan 1818 and died 28 May 1879. Headstone at Rice's chapel in Blount Co., AL indicates a Mason's symbol. He is buried next to his wife America McPherson born in AL. A book written in 1904 Vol. 2 "Notable Men of Alabama," by Joel Campbell DuBose, pages 192-193 gives a writeup on Edward's grandson, Charles Waldo Sanders. In the writeup it refers to Edward and states that Edward "came to Alabama from the state of Virginia, when the state was first being settled, he being a member of one of the first families to settle in Virginia." While Edward's headstone shows no middle initial, one Blount county census had a middle initial that appeared to be a G (or possibly a D). His headstone shows the name Edward but one census had Edmund. Any help you or anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.

First was Thomas Wroe Bryant b. 1783 in North Farnham Parish in Richmond and Polly Middleton Wroe Bryant b. in 1790 in St Stephens Parish in Northumberland Co VA.

MORTON, THACKSTON -
I am searching for any info on James Wesley Morton 1825-1862. I can't find any parents or even his name in any Virginia census.
He married Sarah Ann Thackston and lived with her family for a while. Then they started their own family - children include: Samuel, Richard, Robert, Ann, and Sally Jane who was my great grandmother. They lived in Pr Edward Co but they he may have been from another area. it is James Wesley that I am interestd in. He died in a hospital in Richmond during the Civil War.
