Note 93 — HISTORY

Probably the same Thomas Anderson whose appointment as tobacco inspector at Page’s warehouse, Hanover County, was unsuccessfully protested on the basis that the job required “a person skilled in writing and expert in accounts” (Calendar of Virginia State Papers, op. cit. (footnote 18), vol. 1, pp. 233-234). A letter to Thomas Anderson of Hanover County was listed as uncalled for at the Williamsburg Post Office in August, 1752 (Virginia Gazette; all references to the Gazettes result from use of Lester J. Cappon and Stella F. Duff, Virginia Gazette Index 1736-1780 [Williamsburg, 1950], and microfilm published by The Institute of Early American History and Culture [Williamsburg, 1950]).
